ABB RER 103 Bus Connection Module
The ABB RER 103 is a bus connection module designed to interface ABB RE_500 series protection and control devices with fiber-optic communication networks. Mounted directly to the host device's rear panel via a 9-pin D-type connector, it performs bidirectional optical-to-electrical signal conversion between RS-485 interfaces and SPA, LON, or IEC 60870-5-103 communication buses.
Signal Conversion and Optical Interface
The module converts serial communication data between RS-485 electrical signals and fiber-optic signals at transmission rates up to 1.25 Mbps. Fiber-optic media isolation provides high immunity to electromagnetic interference and electrical noise in substation environments. The unit is available in hardware configurations supporting both plastic and glass fiber optic cables using ST-type optical connectors.
Power Supply and Physical Integration
Operating without an external power source, the module draws its 5 V DC auxiliary power supply directly from the host RE_500 protection relay through the D-type interface connector, with a maximum power consumption of approximately 0.4 W. Its compact plastic housing measures 35 mm $\times$ 73 mm $\times$ 20 mm and connects directly to the rear panel of compatible host units.
