7.1 COMMUNICATIONS CHAPTER 7:  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q7. How many different communication Ethernet sessions can be opened through the LAN port?
A7. ModBus TCP/IP:4 sockets 
DNP TCP/IP:3 sessions (from version 1.72 on) 
Q8. May I use the cooper 10/100 BaseTX connection included in the basic model with all protocols?
A8. Yes, it may be used with all protocols. In noisy substation  en
 vironments and/or long distances, it is recommended to use 
f iber optic...

GEK-113000-AFF650 DIGITAL BAY CONTROLLER 7-3
A17. The cable has some advantages that the f iber does not have, and it is that the signal attenuation in short and medium 
distances, is worthless and this is truth for low and high frequency signals. By the contrary, the light in one f iber optic is 
highly attenuated, being much worse in case of high frequenc ies than in the low ones. The 10-BASE-FL f iber transmission 
is performed in a wavelength of...

7.3 CONTROL & HMI CHAPTER 7:  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
7.3  Control & HMI
Q1. What is the difference between Get/Send info from/to relay and Upload/Download info files to/from relay?
A1. Get/Send are used for settings and configuration storage  that al
 though both are in a unique file, are sent separately 
in two times. Upload/Download are used for projec t or PLC files group storage. These files are the 
setting_configuration file source. To operate, the...
