SEL-387-0, -5, -6 Relay
Serial Port Communications and Commands
Establish Communication
Port 1 is an EIA-485 protocol connection on the rear of the relay. It accepts a
pluggable terminal block that supports wire sizes from 24 AWG up to
12 AWG. The connector is supplied with the relay. Ports 2, 3, and 4 are
EIA-232 protocol connections with Ports 2 and 3 on the rear of the relay and
Port 4 on the front of the relay. These female connectors are 9-pin, D-
subminiature connectors. Any combination of these ports or all of them may
be used for relay communication.
lists cables that can be purchased
from SEL for various communication applications.
For example, to connect the SEL-387 Ports 2, 3, or 4 to the 9-pin male
connector on a laptop, order cable number C234A and specify the length
needed. To connect the SEL-387 Port 2 to the SEL-2032, SEL-2030 or
SEL-2020 Communications Processor that supplies the communication link
and the time synchronization signal, order cable number C273A, and specify
the length needed. For connecting devices at over 100 feet, fiber-optic
transceivers are available. The SEL-2800 and SEL-2810 provide fiber-optic
links between devices for electrical isolation and long-distance signal
transmission. Call the factory for further information on these products.
