Px40 USB Adaptor
The P40U Px40 USB Adaptor is used to connect local serial/parallel port relays to a
laptop/PC, so that settings may be transferred to/from the relay and PC, allowing
updates and menu text editing. The P40U Adaptor fits any MiCOM P40 relays in
installed base including Areva, Alstom and GE brands.
Simple | Plug & Play | All in-one Serial/Parallel
The adaptor is designed for temporary connection during testing, installation
commissioning and it has 9-pin and 25-pin D-type connectors (SK1 and SK2) and a USB
type B connector.
This adaptor supports the Courier communication protocol only. Courier is a
communication protocol to allow communication with a range of protection equipment,
between the device and the Windows-based support software package, S1 Agile.
The adaptor is supported by S1 Agile version 1.4.2 upward, which will automatically install
required drivers for correct operation of the P40U interface to legacy front panels with
port/serial port connections. The USB front port connection option needs to be activated in
Agile when using the adaptor.
The inactivity timer for the front port is set to 10 minutes. This controls how long the
maintains its level of password access on the front port. If no messages are received on
front port for 15 minutes, any password access level that has been enabled will be cancelled.
