IEDs have the same
address.
Check IEDs for duplicate address assignments. Change
the address of the affected IED, then attempt to
communicate with the original address to see if
another IED has that address.
Check any dual-port IEDs to be sure that each RS-485
port is wired to a separate RS-485 network.

control power is present. If the IED or Repeater does
not operate when control power is present, contact the
GE Resolution Center at 1-888-GE-RESOLV.

per commnet segment and wiring requirements and
limitations.
