Serial Port Communications and Commands
Establish Communication
For example, to connect the SEL-387 Ports 2, 3, or 4 to the 9-pin male
connector on a laptop, order cable number C234A and specify the length
needed. To connect the SEL-387 Port 2 to the SEL-2032, SEL-2030 or
SEL-2020 Communications Processor that supplies the communication link
and the time synchronization signal, order cable number C273A, and specify
the length needed. For connecting devices at over 100 feet, fiber-optic
transceivers are available. The SEL-2800 and SEL-2810 provide fiber-optic
links between devices for electrical isolation and long-distance signal
transmission. Call the factory for further information on these products.
The following cable diagrams show several types of EIA-232 serial
communications cables. These and other cables are available from SEL.
Contact the factory for more information.
