CommunicationsCommunication portsThe Form 4D control has a front panel configurationdata port and provisions for two optional side-panelcommunication ports (Figure 10).The front panel configuration data port is described in theOperating Panel section of this manual.There are two standard USB ports (one host and one client),as well as any two of the following: RS-232, RS-485, Serialfiber, Ethernet wire, Ethernet fiber (MTRJ Multi-mode, SCMulti-mode, ST Multi-mode, and LC Single-mode).Communication protocolsSeven native communication protocols are available for theForm 4D recloser control:Serial protocols●● DNP3●● 2179●● MODBUS●● IEC 60870-5-101Ethernet protocols●● DNP3 TCP/IP●● MODBUS TCP/IP●● IEC 70870-5-104Any available communication protocol can be selectedand configured by the user with the ProView NXGapplication software.DNP3 is factory-defaulted to the communication ports onthe side panel.Ethernet Communications●● ProView NXG over TCP/IP.●● DNP3 IP.●● IEC60870-5-104.Ethernet connection allows for network application of theForm 4D pole-mount control for both DNP3 and ProViewNXG protocols. In addition, the front panel data port cansimultaneously communicate ProView NXG to the PC.Ethernet configuration is accomplished via ProView NXGinterface software. Refer to S280-104-2 Form 4D ControlProgramming Guide for Ethernet Configuration information.The user can simultaneously communicate to the Form4D control using both the front panel data port and theappropriate side panel communication port.Control informationControl information includes firmware identification bycatalog number and name, date code, and ProView NXGrelease number. Control information is available through theNAMEPLATE DATA menu on the front panel (Figure 4).Control side panelThe control side panel is easily accessible when the swing-panel of the control cabinet is opened.Port 1:RS-232 SerialCommunicationsoptionPort 2:Serial Fiber, STCommunica-tionsFigure 10.
