7SR21 & 7SR22 Data Communications©2010 Siemens Protection Devices Limited Chapter 4 Page 9 of 15There are two optional ports, com3 and com4, and when fitted the associated settings are available in the DataCommunication menu. To allow communication using either or both of these ports the relay settings must bechanged, via the fascia, in accordance with the method of connection and master device.Setting name Range Default Setting NotesStation Address1 – 254 for IEC60870-5-1030 – 247 for Modbus RTU0 – 65520 for DNP3.00 As RequiredAn address within the range ofthe relevant protocol must begiven to identify the relay.
