Description

The GRWIC-8A-S-232 is an eight-port serial interface module for the Cisco CGR 2010 Connected Grid Router. It is built for utility and energy sites such as transmission and distribution substations, renewables, oil and gas and water, where legacy serial equipment still needs to be carried over an IP network.

The module provides 8 x EIA-232 ports that run asynchronous or synchronous. Synchronous speed reaches 256 kbps per port and asynchronous speed reaches 230.4 kbps per port. The ports are delivered through two high-density 4-port connectors, and DTE or DCE operation is selected by the cable used. All four ports on one cable share the same mode. It is a single-wide GRWIC with no slot restrictions, and it is rated for continuous operation from -40 to +60 C with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 substation compliance. The host router needs Cisco IOS 15.1(1)T or later with the IP Base technology package.

Typical applications include migrating serial RTUs and IEDs to Ethernet, transporting SCADA traffic over IP without separate leased lines, and out-of-band console or terminal server access. It is supported on the CGR 2010 and works with the CAB-HD4-232FC, CAB-HD4-232MT, CAB-QUAD-ASYNC-F, CAB-QUAD-ASYNC-M and CAB-9AS-M cables.

FAQs

Q: Which routers is the GRWIC-8A-S-232 supported on?
A: It is supported on the Cisco Connected Grid Router 2000 Series (CGR 2010). It is not supported on ISR-G2 routers.

Q: Does it need a separate licence?
A: No separate licence is stated for the module. The host router needs Cisco IOS 15.1(1)T or later with the IP Base technology package.

Q: How is it powered?
A: It is powered from the host CGR 2010 chassis, so it needs no separate power connection.

Q: Which cables work with it?
A: Cisco cables for this module include CAB-HD4-232FC (4-port DCE, DB-25 female, 3 m), CAB-HD4-232MT (4-port DTE, DB-25 male, 3 m), CAB-QUAD-ASYNC-F (RJ-45 female, 0.46 m), CAB-QUAD-ASYNC-M (RJ-45 male, 3 m) and CAB-9AS-M (DB-9 male, 3 m).

Q: Can the ports run as both DTE and DCE?
A: Yes, the cable selects DTE or DCE. All four ports on one cable share the same mode.
