Bit rate 1200 bit/s
Bit rate 9600 bit/s
Bit rate depends on the
number of channels, e.g.
50 bit/s with 24 channels,
or 2400 bit/s if just one
channel is used.

Serial communciation
Why are our customers (still) using serial modems?

Existing pilot wires (copper lines) are usually in the
property of the end customer
 Usage is free of charge and fully under their control

ABB serial modems are working well even with old and
distorted pilot wires
 Change of wires is usually not possible due to urban
development

ABB serial modems are available as Rack and DIN-Rail
solution
 ABB offers the right solution for all different mounting
conditions
Easy, cost efficient, reliable, sufficient, no
configuration

Ethernet communication
Application example single line copper connection

Typical application: Former
serial modems in multipoint configuration replaced
by Ethernet devices

Up to 20km line distance
with DSL (Digital Subscriber
Line)

Switch over to broadband
Ethernet communication
enables services like e.g.
Remote
configuration/maintenance
and video surveillance
