Configuring Communication Modules
Required Settings in DIGSI 4
The following applies in general:
In the case of a first-time installation or replacement of a communication module, the ordering number (MLFB)
does not need to be changed. The ordering number can be retained. Thus, all previously created parameter
sets remain valid for the device.
Changes in the DIGSI Manager
In order that the protection device can access the new communication module, a change has to be made in the
parameter set within the DIGSI Manager.
In the DIGSI 4 Manager, select the SIPROTEC device in your project and select the menu item "Edit" - "Object
properties..." to open the dialog box "Properties - SIPROTEC 4 device" (see Figure 3-23). In the prop-
erties tab "Communication modules", an interface is to be selected for „11. port B" (back bottom of
the device) or for „12. port A" (front bottom of the device) via the pull-down button, the entry "Additional
protocols, s. addition L" must be selected for Profibus DP, Modbus or DNP3.0.
The type of communication module for port B is to be stated in the dialog box "Additional informa-
tion"which can be reached via the pushbutton "L: ...".
