Communication solution in distribution automation overview
4. Physical interfaces
ARP600 has two hardware variants called dual SIM and single
SIM. Mechanically, the variants are different but include the
same protocol conversion functionality.
Variant with dual SIM
The dual SIM variant has two serial ports (RS-232, RS-485) and
a four port LAN/WAN switch (RJ-45) for device connectivity. For
communication to an upper-level system, the dual SIM version
supports 4G (LTE) connectivity, but is also compatible with
GPRS and 3G.. The dual SIM variant also has two SIM card
slots for operator redundancy.
Variant with single SIM
The single SIM variant has two serial ports (RS-232, RS-485)
and one LAN/WAN port (RJ-45) for device connectivity. For
communication to an upper-level system, the single SIM
version supports 4G (LTE) connectivity, but is also compatible
with GPRS and 3G..
LED panel
The LED panel of the device contains LEDs to indicate the
complete operational status of the device.
