SECTION 10: SERIAL PORT COMMUNICATIONS AND
COMMANDS
I
NTRODUCTION
All SEL-311B Relay models have three EIA-232 ports (one front and two rear) and one rear
EIA-485 port.
Connect the serial port to a computer serial port for local communications or to a modem for
remote communications. Other devices useful for communications include the SEL-2020 and
SEL-2030 Communications Processors, SEL-2505 Remote I/O Module, SEL-2100 Protection
Logic Processor, and SEL-DTA2 Display Transducer Adapter. You can use a variety of terminal
emulation programs on your personal computer to communicate with the relay. Examples of
PC-based terminal emulation programs include CROSSTALK
®
, Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Terminal
and HyperTerminal, Procomm
®
Plus, Relay/Gold, and SmartCOM. For the best display, use
VT-100 terminal emulation or the closest variation.
The default settings for all serial ports are:

IRIG-B
Refer to Figures 1.2, 2.2, and 2.3. Note that demodulated IRIG-B time code can be input into
Serial Port 1 or Serial Port 2 on any of the SEL-311B Relay models. This is easily handled by
connecting Serial Port 2 of the SEL-311B Relay to an SEL-2020 with Cable C273A (see cable
diagrams that follow in this section).
Note that demodulated IRIG-B time code can be input into the connector for Serial Port 1. If
demodulated IRIG-B time code is input into this connector, it should not be input into Serial
Port 2, and vice versa.
