Application 

The 560CMR01 communication unit is one of the CMU modules of the RTU560 product line. The essential tasks are: 

• Managing and controlling of the I/O modules via the interface to the serial I/O bus. 

• Reading Process events from the input modules. 

• Send commands to the output modules. 

• Communicating with control systems and local HMI systems via the serial interfaces (RS232) and the Ethernet 10/100BaseT interfaces.

• Communication with Sub-RTU’s, IED’s or multimeter devices via the interfaces (RS485) and the Ethernet interfaces. 

• Managing the time base for the RTU560 product line station and synchronizing the I/O modules. 

• Handling the dialog between RTU560 product line and Web-Browser via the LAN interfaces.

The communication unit provides the following interfaces: 

• Communication Port 1 and 2 (CP1 & CP2): serial interfaces according RS232C or RS485 with RJ45 connectors. The communication ports can be configured independant as SPB I/O bus interface to the front. 

• Ethernet interface 1 and 2 (E1 & E2): 10/100BaseT with RJ45 connector. 

• USB 2.0 device interface for diagnosis and maintenance purposes. 

• The SPB I/O bus is directly connected to the backplane connector.
