or communication - application.
Protocols or applications running on plug-in modules are assigned to the
specific module and it's port with DIGSI 5 during the initial configuration
process.
Two serial communication applications running on one module offer a high application
density (e.g. IEC 60870-5-103 and protection data interface on one USART-AE2FO module).
Communication redundancy (+ time sync.)
Hardware redundancy (e.g. two substation control interfaces pluggable, two ports)
Optical or electrical ring configuration (no interruption of the ring when CB202 is supplied from
another battery as the main device)
Functional redundancy (e.g. redundant protocols with 2*IEC 60870-5-103)
