| The parameter can be used for a TCP Redundant line with defined backup servers (see the parameters AS1, AP1, BS1, BP1 ..). The non-zero value of ARMP parameter means that if this number of ASDUs is received (after a successful reconnect), both connections are checked whether they're not going through the same network (IPs and ports defined in the line settings or ASx:APx and BSx:BPx). If they do, the connection to the standby server (see the Asymmetric Redundancy Mode Slave Detection parameter) will be closed and an attempt to establish a connection through another network will be made. If unsuccessful, the next IP address will be tried (i.e. Alternate Server 1, Alternate Server 2, line IP, Alternate Server 1, etc). Note: When the parameter Asymmetric Redundancy Mode Periodicity is enabled, the second connection is established to "B-Alternate Server 1":"B-Alternate Port 1" and not to the IP address and port defined for the line after running the D2000 KOM process (so that it wouldn't be immediately closed). | - | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||

Alternate Port 1/ Alternate Server 2/ Alternate Port 2/ | Extension for redundant systems: besides the IP address defined in the configuration of the Line, it is possible to define 2 alternative IP addresses. In case of a connection failure, the D2000 KOM process is attempting to connect to the next address in the list. Note 1: All IP addresses and ports must be defined gradually for one station (i.e. at first "Alternate Server 1", "Alternate Port 1" and then "Alternate Server 2", "Alternate Port 2"). Note 2: These parameters are obsolete since it's possible to define several IP addresses in the configuration of the line (separated by comma or semicolon, e.g. 10.0.0.1;10.0.0.2). | - | - | ||||||||||||||||||
B-Alternate Port 1/ B-Alternate Server 2/ B-Alternate Port 2/ | Can be used when the protocol IEC 870-5-104 is configured for a TCP redundant line. The meaning of the parameters is the same as for the primary connection, but they are valid for the backup connection. Note 1: All IP addresses must be defined stepwise for one station (i.e. at first "Alternate Server 1", "Alternate Port 1" and then "Alternate Server 2", "Alternate Port 2"). Note 2: These parameters are obsolete since it's possible to define several IP addresses in the configuration of the line (separated by comma or semicolon, e.g. 10.0.0.1;10.0.0.2). | - | - | ||||||||||||||||||
| Confirmation of control ASDU. If Command Confirm=0, the D2000 KOM process is not waiting for confirmation of control ASDU from the partner station using a reply ASDU with a different CauseOfTransmission. ASDU is considered to be confirmed when a packet containing the corresponding ReceiveSequenceNumber is received. If Command Confirm=1, the D2000 KOM process is waiting for confirmation with CauseOfTransmission=7 (Activation Confirmation). If Command Confirm=2, the D2000 KOM process is waiting for confirmation with CauseOfTransmission=10 (Activation Termination). If Command Confirm=3, the D2000 KOM process waiting for confirmation with CauseOfTransmission=7 or 10 (if both of them are received, only the first of them is taken into account). Having received corresponding confirmation means that writing is finished (the Transient attribute of written value is cleared and the "Wait Timeout Tn" timeout stops elapsing). If a confirmation with a CauseOfTransmission different from the one the D2000 KOM process expects, is received, it will be ignored. Writing is successful if the received ASDU contains the P/N bit set to 0. Otherwise, writing is unsuccessful. Value from received ASDU is written back into a particular I/O tag and is sent to the system. E.g. if an ASDU of type 50 (short floating point) with the value of 1200.0 is sent and the partner station sends an ASDU of type 50 as a reply, P/N bit=0, the value of 999.0 (e.g. due to physical limitations of the given parameter) as a response, then the value will be sent to the D2000 system by the D2000 KOM process. | - | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||

Initialization | Extension for ABB MicroScada: If End of initialization=1, having received If the value of the parameter is "1 - IC/CIC after EOI", then after receiving ASDU 70 (End of initialisation) resendsthe Interrogation Command and/or Counter Interrogation Command will be sent again (according to the values of the parameters Order of IC and Order of Counter IC). The default value "0 - no IC/CIC after EOI" will cause ASDU 70 to be ignored. | - | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| If Force Master Time=True, then the D2000 KOM process will accept ASDU 103 (Clock synchronisation command) with CauseOfTransmission=6 [Activation] or 3 [Spontaneous] from the server and it will save the time difference between the server's time and its time. If CauseOfTransmission=6, it replies with CauseOfTransmission=7 [Activation Confirmation]. Then the time of all values, which are received with timestamps, is decreased by this difference, i.e. a correction to the time of D2000 is made. The parameter allows solving the problem when some values from the server are received with the timestamps and others without timestamps and times from D2000 and server differ. In this case, without parameter Force Master Time=True the values received without timestamps are tagged by D2000 time and the values with the timestamps are tagged by the server time. With parameter Force Master Time=True the time, sent by the server, is corrected to D2000 time using the time difference, which is computed from the received ASDU 103 (Clock synchronisation command). | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Extension for ABB MicroScada: If Force Slave Time=True, then the D2000 KOM process will accept ASDU 103 (Clock synchronisation command) with CauseOfTransmission=6 [Activation] or 3 [Spontaneous] from the server and saves the time difference between server time and its time. If CauseOfTransmission=6, it replies with CauseOfTransmission=7 [Activation Confirmation]. Then all values, which are received with no timestamps, are to be marked by the current time plus time difference (if the station is not configured to use the communication computer time). The Force Slave Time parameter allows solving the problem, that after receiving ASDU 100 or 101, the ABB MicroScada sends "interrogated" values without timestamps. However, during the communication, the values are sent with the timestamps - which may cause problems if the times of the MicroScada and the D2000 system are not synchronized. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| If GI Send New=True, then the D2000 KOM process, after receiving the General Interrogation command, sends also values with more recent times than the time when the command was received. The value of the GI Send New parameter must be True to send values with future times as a reply to the General Interrogation command. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Determines behavior, when ASDU contains Control Field with the lowest bit (0) of the 3rd-byte set to 1.
| - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Balanced mode: if this parameter is set on a station, the D2000 KOM process will not send as a reply for ASDU 100 and 101 (Interrogation / Counter interrogation command) values of I/O tags which are Invalid or Unknown. The parameter can be used e.g. when controlling if sending Invalid values causes a breakdown of control. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Determines behavior, when ASDU contains the highest 7th bit (Test) set in CauseOfTransmission.
| - | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| If Ignore Unknown Addresses=TRUE, the D2000 KOM process will not show an error on its console or write it into log files in case that incoming value has the address not matching any of the addresses of I/O tags defined in the D2000 system. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Balanced mode: After connecting to the IEC104 server, the D2000 KOM process sends the values of all variables without waiting for ASDU 100 or 101 [Interrogation/Counter Interrogation Command] requests. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Balanced mode: As a reply to Interrogation, also values of I/O tags configured as ASDU 15, 16, 37 (Integrated Totals) are sent. (They are normally requested by ASDU 101 [Counter Interrogation].) | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| If Interrogation WithOut Timestamps=True, then values sent as a response to ASDU 100 [Interrogation Command] in balanced mode will be sent as ASDUs without timestamps. For example instead of ASDU 2 (Single-point information with time tag) or ASDU 30 (Single-point information with time tag CP56Time2a) ASDU 1 (Single-point information) will be sent. This behavior is suitable in the situation when the values have been invalidated as a result of communication error and after the communication is reestablished the values come with old timestamps which causes problems in the archive (if the values change only rarely, calculated archives depending on them will be also invalid till a new value arrives). At the same time, this behavior is strictly according to the IEC standard, which says that the response to Interrogation should not use ASDUs with time stamps. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Sending window size i.e. number of I-frames sent by the D2000 KOM process without receiving a confirmation (S-frame or I-frame). According to the standard, the default value is 12. | - | 12 | ||||||||||||||||||
| The parameter may be used to read historical values for communication with LFC terminals or other devices that support ASDU 250 defined by Ipesoft. Unlike the primary use of ASDU 250, the LFC terminal can only transmit one value for interval begin time, while the end time is ignored. The value will not be received as ASDU 251 but as one of the standard ASDU with a timestamp. Moreover, the values (with the same timestamp) of other tags may be received along with the value of the required tag. LFC terminal does not send ASDU 250 (with CauseOfTransmission=7, 10) as part of the response to ASDU 250 and the D2000 KOM process considers the reading done as soon as it gets the value of the required I/O tag. If the value is not received within the time defined by the Wait Timeout T1 parameter, the reading of historical value is considered unsuccessful, however, the connection to the LFC terminal is not closed. If the values of other I/O tags are received along with the value of the required I/O tag, they must be received before the value of the required tag is received, otherwise, they are not considered as historical values (because reading is considered to be done after the value of required I/O tag is received). If the parameter is not defined or LFC History=0, reading of historical data is defined by Ipesoft (D2000 IEC104 Server partner is assumed). If LFC History=1, then the value is considered to be historical (it will go to the archive but not to the I/O tag, etc.) if its timestamp belongs to the time interval specified by the GETOLDVAL action (and is received as ASDU 250). If LFC History=2 then the behavior is as for LFC History=1 except if the timestamp of the received value is newer than the timestamp of the current value of the I/O tag, the received value will be sent into the D2000 Server process as a new one and not as a historical one. Note: When reading historical data of the LFC terminal, the GETOLDVAL action may not contain the station name (the statIdent parameter) but the I/O tag name. If the action contains a station name, ASDU 250 will be sent for one I/O tag only. | - | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Maximum acceptable time difference (in hours) between the time of received data and the time of the D2000 KOM process. If the partner station sends a value with a timestamp older or later than MDT hours, the value will be ignored and an error log will be written into the line's trace file. If the Maximum Time Difference parameter is a negative value (e.g. Maximum Time Difference=-5), its absolute value is used and the system alarm SystemError will be generated as well. If the parameter's value is zero, the time difference will not be checked. | hrs | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| If the parameter is True, then the status byte of incoming ASDUs is ignored and not saved into the A .. H flags. Flags of output I/O tags are also ignored and they are not written to the status byte. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Order of sending ASDU 100 [Interrogation Command] during connection initialization. If Order of IC < Order of Counter IC, ASDU 100 will be sent before ASDU 101. If Order of IC=0, ASDU 100 will not be sent. The parameter can be set extra for each station. | - | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Order of sending ASDU 101 [Counter Interrogation Command] during connection initialization. If Order of Counter IC < Order of IC, ASDU 101 will be sent before ASDU 100. If Order of Counter IC=0, ASDU 101 will not be sent. The parameter can be set extra for each station. | - | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||
| The number of repetitions, after which the IP address not responding to the ping is considered non-functional. See the Ping TimeOut parameter. | - | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||
| If the parameter is non-zero, it defines the timeout (in milliseconds) of server response for ping (ICMP echo) packet. In the background, the D2000 KOM process sends ping packets to all defined IPs - Line IP address and Alternate Server 1, Alternate Server 2, B-Alternate Server 1, B-Alternate Server 2. If some of the addresses do not respond Ping Count-times, it is designated as non-functional. If the line is connected to this IP address, the connection is terminated. A new connection is established only to a functional IP address. If the parameter Ping TimeOut=0, sending the ping packet to IP addresses is disabled. | ms | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| A delay between receiving StartDT Con response and sending Interrogation Command and/or Counter Interrogation Command in the initialization phase. | ms | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| A delay before connecting or reconnecting (after starting the D2000 KOM process and after communication break-up). | ms | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| The initial Send sequence number after the TCP connection is established. According to the standard, having established the connection the Send sequence number is set to 0, other than zero could be appropriate e.g. for testing. | - | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| The number of values that must be identical in the Smart Redundancy Minimum mode to consider the connections synchronized. The following parameters are taken into account:
| - | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Can be used for TCP Redundant line as an alternative to Ignore Tests=1 or Ignore Control Field 3 bit 0=1. The D2000 KOM process assumes that identical values go via the both connection of the TCP Redundant line in the same order. The D2000 KOM process is attempting to synchronize the connections. If a number of identical values defined by the Smart Redundancy Minimum parameter are received, data are synchronized. After synchronization is done, the value that comes earlier is taken into account, the same value via the other connection is ignored. When the TCP connection is broken or two different values come, the synchronization is broken. Compared to the detection of active/passive partner by means of "Ignore Tests"/"Ignore Control Field 3 bit 0", an advantage is that after communication failure with the active server, there is no data loss because the communication is still working with the passive partner and the D2000 KOM process is attempting to recover the connection with the active server. Having recovered the connection (if the second connection is working), there are ignored the values which are acquired by the command General Interrogation. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| If True, after changing the status of the D2000 Server process (the D2000 KOM process is connected to) from Hot into Standby state (in a redundant system), connection with the IEC104 server will not be closed. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| If TRUE, after changing the status of the D2000 Server process (the D2000 KOM process is connected to) from Hot to Standby state (in a redundant system), the lowest bit of the 3rd Control Field byte of information APDUs (APDU containing data or commands) will be set to 1 instead of the standard value of 0. The behavior does not strictly follow the standard and we recommend using the Standby Set Test Bit parameter instead of this parameter if it is possible. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| If True, the Cause Of Transmission will have a Test bit set if the D2000 KOM process is connected to the Standby server (in a redundant system) or is a passive instance. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| If True, after changing the status of the D2000 Server process (the D2000 KOM process is connected to) from Hot into Standby state (in a redundant system), the new values will be sent to the IEC104 server. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| The number of unsuccessful connection attempts after the communication failure after which the station status is changed to St_CommErr. For redundant lines, the communication must be either failed on both TCP connections or only a TCP connection to a passive server is established (see the parameters Ignore Control Field 3 bit 0 and Ignore Tests), i.e. data from such a server are ignored. | - | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||
| The status of all stations on the line is changed into the St_HardErr state if the following conditions are met:
| - | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Workaround for the MetsoDNA server error: after connecting to the IEC870-5-104 server from the Metso company, the server sends a StopDT Con U-frame (thereby confirming the end of sending data). If the Stop Data Confirm Ignored parameter is True, this frame will be ignored and the communication will continue. Without the Stop Data Confirm Ignored parameter set, the connection will be aborted. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| Determines behavior, when the protocol is used for TCP Redundant line
| - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| The parameter is implemented for use on OpenVMS platforms only. If it is other than zero, then defines the timeout (in seconds) for opening a new connection to the IEC104 server. For OpenVMS, the default value is 75 seconds, for Windows, it is 20 seconds. When the timeout expires, the connect procedure returns an error. | - | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Setting Tcp No Delay parameter causes low-level socket option TCP_NODELAY to be set, thus turning off the default packet coalesce feature. | - | False | ||||||||||||||||||
| The number of received I-frames, after which the D2000 KOM process sends an S-frame confirmation. According to the standard, the default value is 8. The relation W < K must be true, the standard recommends W = 2/3 * K. | - | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Timeout for receiving the confirmation of a sent I-frame (either confirmation within the I-frame or the S-frame itself) or a U-frame. If the D2000 KOM process does not receive the confirmation within Wait Timeout T1 time, it closes the TCP connection. According to the standard, the Wait Timeout T1 default value is 15000 ms. | ms | 15 000 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Timeout for sending the confirmation of a received I-frame. Wait Timeout T2 < Wait Timeout T1. If another I-frame (which confirms the received I-frame) is not sent within Wait Timeout T2 time since the I-frame was received, the D2000 KOM process sends an S-frame confirming the received I-frame to the partner. According to the standard, the Wait Timeout T2 default value is 10000 ms. | ms | 10 000 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Timeout for sending test frames ( TEST ACT U-frame). If no data are sent in any direction for a long time, a TEST ACT U-frame will be sent after the expiration of the Wait Timeout T3 time by the D2000 KOM process, and a TEST CON U-frame is expected (within Wait Timeout T1 time after sending). If the Wait Timeout T3 on the partner side is set to a lower value, it sends the test frames, and the D2000 KOM process replies to them. According to the standard, the Wait Timeout T2 default value is 20000 ms. Setting the value to 0 disables sending test frames. | ms | 20 000 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Timeout for receiving the confirmation of a sent value. Receiving e.g. S-frame with RSN (Receive Sequence Number) confirming, that the other party received the previous I-frame doesn't mean, that the I-frame was processed. Within the Wait Timeout No answer time interval, the D2000 KOM process waits for receiving the response (e.g. after sending ASDU with TypeIdentificator=45 [Single Command] with CauseOfTransmission=6 [Activation], the receiving of Single Command with CauseOfTransmission=7 [Activation Confirmation] is expected. After the expiration of the Wait Timeout Tn, the D2000 KOM process closes the TCP connection. | ms | 60 000 | ||||||||||||||||||
...
- I/O tag address is mapped to the Information object address, i.e. it has 3 bytes and must be within the range of 0..16777215. It can be specified as a decimal number or as a hexadecimal number with a hash at the beginning (e.g. #0A).
The I/O tag with an address starting with %IGNORE will be ignored. - Input tags must be of particular types (Ai, Ci, Di, Qi) for received ASDU, see table 1 and also table 2 in the balanced mode.
- For a particular type of output tag (Ao, Dout, Co), it is necessary to set an ASDU type, that has to be used, see table 2.
- Archive for providing historical values: if the client asks for historical values through ASDU 250, the server sends:
- the values of the historical value specified by this input entry field,
- if the input entry field is not filled, then the values of the historical value that archives the I/O tag,
- if the specified historical value does not exist, then the values of the I/O tag that archives the control object of the specified I/O tag,
- if the control object does not exist (or the archive is not available), the server returns an error.
- If the Destination Column is configured, then the values received from the address configured at the I/O tag and above are stored in the corresponding items (e.g. objects with addresses 10, 11, 12 ... according to the number of rows of the destination structure).
Browse
For the I/O tags, it is possible to discover the list of objects, as long as the KOM process is running and communication with a station is established.
Clicking the Browse button opens the IEC870-5-104 Item Browser window and displays a list of objects that have been read so far. The object list is created dynamically as a result of received messages.
The list of objects is dynamic, i.e. when a new value arrives in the KOM process, it is updated. Filtering in individual columns is also supported, asterisks can be used in the mask (e.g. *Short*).
Double-clicking on a particular line will cause the Address parameter to be inserted into the configuration of I/O tag from which the IEC870-5-104 Item Browser window was opened.
The Refresh button clears the list of values in both the CNF and the KOM process.
The Value column contains the received value.
