1.1 Brief description

One advantage is that RCOM (Remote COMmunication)

permits large distances to be spanned.

Communication can be performed via various transmis-

sion media, such as:

• leased or private dedicated lines

• existing cable paths,

• telephone lines (dial-up connections).

Adaptation to the required transmission path can be per-

formed by selection of various modems (e.g. VF or cur-

rent loop modems, telephone modems, multidrop mo-

dems).

An RCOM network always consists of the master and one

or more slaves, with the following data transmission op-

tions:

The 07 KP 90 R303 RCOM communication module can

be connected as an expansion unit to basic units such as

07 KR 91 R353, 07 KT 92, 07 KT 93, 07 KT 94 of the

decentralized automation system Advant Controller 31.

The 07 KP 90 R303 communication module permits com-

munication via the RCOM protocol. Using this protocol it

permits data exchange

• master transmits data to a slave,

• master reads data from a slave,

• event-driven transmission: a slave can store process

events with a time stamp and transfer them to the

master on request (event polling).

1.2 Features

• between ABB MasterPiece 200 control systems, ABB

Procontic T200 systems and Advant Controller 31 sys-

tems or

• between Advant Controller 31 systems amongst them-

selves.

• The RCOM 07 KP 90 R303 communication module

can be planned as RCOM master or slave.

• A network may have up to 254 RCOM slaves (max.

8 slaves if using MasterPiece 200, max. 30 slaves in

case of dial-up mode).
