Communication Ports 4.1 Copper Ethernet Port excessive noise and interference, but more importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury. NOTICE For substation applications, do not use the copper Ethernet port to interface with field devices across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e.
Transmit (Tx), Receive (Rx) and Common (COM). Note The RS232 port is intended for point-to-point applications only. In adherence to the EIA/TIA guidelines for RS232 communications, the following is recommended by Siemens: • Always use shielded cabling to minimize the effects of ambient electrical noise •...
