4.3 Device Setup—Port 2
One or more Siemens devices may be connected to
Port 2. To configure Port 2, select Port 2 (Devices)
from the Edit menu. The configuration screen is dis-
played (see Figure 4.4).

Device Protocol
The first field, Device Protocol, determines which
Siemens devices can be connected to Port 2. There
are the following two choices in the list box:
• SEAbus —for connection to Siemens ACCESS
communicating trip units, relays, power meters
and other devices.
• VDEW—for connection to Siemens protective
relays using the VDEW protocol
Not all Siemens devices are supported. For a list of
supported devices, see Appendix A.
2 Wire RS422 or RS485 Communications
Check this box if the communications wiring with
your devices is a 2-wire RS485 or RS422 interface
(see Figure 4.5). When 2-wire communications are
used, RTS must be looped back to CTS on the DTU
side of the cable. This can be done on the RS232
side by looping pins 4 and 5 or on the RS422/485
side by looping pins 16 to 18 and 17 to 19. RS-485 is
the standard communications interface used by
ACCESS devices.
