General features of the communication in
SIPROTEC 5 devices

 Two module positions in the base housing (E / F). Another three module
positions on CB202 extension for communication (M,N,P)
 Customer orders plug-in – modules which are not preconfigured with a protocol

or communication - application.
 Protocols or applications running on plug-in – modules are assigned to the
specific module and it's port with DIGSI 5 during the initial configuration
process.
Two serial communication applications running on one module offer a high application
density (e.g. IEC 60870-5-103 and protection data interface on one USART-AE–2FO module).
Communication redundancy (+ time sync.)
 Hardware redundancy (e.g. two substation control interfaces pluggable, two ports)
 Optical or electrical ring configuration (no interruption of the ring when CB202 is supplied from
another battery as the main device)
 Functional redundancy (e.g. redundant protocols with 2*IEC 60870-5-103)
