Fault codes
When an internal fault is detected in a REM 543 machine terminal, the fault code is
recorded and can be read from the main menu Relay Status/General/IRF code. The IRF
code shows the first internal fault detected by the self-supervision system. This fault
code should be recorded and stated when overhaul is ordered.
4.1.9.2.
Self-supervision output (IRF)
The self-supervision signalling output operates on the closed circuit principle. Under
normal conditions the contact gap 3-5 is closed. Should the auxiliary power supply fail
or an internal fault be detected, the contact gap 4-5 closes.

Serial communication
The machine terminal has two serial communication ports, one on the front panel and
the other on the rear panel.
The standard ABB opto-connection (RS-232 connection) on the front panel is to be used
for the connection of a PC for configuring the machine terminal. The front interface
uses the SPA bus protocol.
The 9-pole RS-485 connection on the rear panel connects the machine terminal to the
distribution automation system via the SPA bus or the LON bus. The fibre-optic inter-
face module type RER 103 is used to connect the machine terminal to the fibre-optic
communication bus. The module RER 103 supports both SPA bus and LON bus com-
munication.
