ADLP-80

  • The ADLP-80 was developed by ASEA (ABB) for communication between a SCADA system and RTUs.

    Its physical layer uses a specific PCM encoding type consisting of a 4-bit start code and one or more 14 or 19-bit words.

    ADLP-80 operates in half-duplex mode following the master/slave principle. A master can communicate with up to 15 RTUs, an RTU only responds to an explicit request from the master.
