The SEL-3505 offers four serial ports, one input and one output with an optional internal modem. In this data sheet, SEL-3505 refers to both the SEL-3505 and the SEL-3505-3, unless otherwise specified. ➤ Simple Setup. Build a system quickly using ACSELERATOR RTAC® SEL-5033 Software preconfigured templates for SEL relays and other communications connections. The Tag Processor provides methods for visually mapping data relationships between communications protocols. ➤ Multiple Functions in One Reliable Device. Use a single SEL-3505 as a remote terminal unit (RTU), protocol gateway, logic processor, PAC, engineering port server, event processor, and SER logger/viewer. ➤ Proven Reliability. Depend on a rugged device designed and tested to meet or exceed protective relay standards for vibration, electrical surges, fast transients, and extreme temperatures, as well as meet or exceed IEEE 1613, Standard Environmental and Testing Requirements for Communications Networking Devices in Electric Power Substations. ➤ IEC 61850.
