Communications
Communications Protocols
For long-distance communications up to 80 kilometers and for electrical
isolation of communications ports, use the SEL-2800 family of fiber-optic
transceivers. Contact SEL for more details on these devices.
Communications Protocols
Hardware Protocol
The EIA-232 serial port supports RTS/CTS hardware handshaking. RTS/CTS
handshaking is not supported on the EIA-485 Serial Port 4A.
To enable hardware handshaking, use the SET P command to set
RTSCTS = Y. Disable hardware handshaking by setting RTSCTS = N.
If RTSCTS = N, the meter permanently asserts the RTS line.
If RTSCTS = Y, the meter deasserts RTS when it is unable to receive
characters.
If RTSCTS = Y, the meter does not send characters until the CTS input is
asserted.
