Supported device types and versions


This protocol (known also as IEC 870-5-101 or IEC-101) supports:

  • standard IEC 60870-5-101:2003 in modes "unbalanced" (master and slave) and "balanced",
  • redundancy of communication lines according to the so-called Norwegian convention (Norwegian IEC 870-5-101 User Conventions).


Communication line configuration


Implementation is, according to the IEC870-5-101 standard, as follows:

  • The originator ASDU address is not present.
  • ASDU address is 1 byte, it is defined as the station address. ASDU addresses of all stations on one line must be different.
  • The cause of transmission is 1 byte (does not contain Originator ASDU address).
  • The information object address is 2 bytes, it is defined as an I/O tag address.


If a redundant communication on two lines is required (Norwegian conventions) use the line categories Serial Line Redundant or SerialOverUDP Device Redundant.

If you require the system-redundant communication, use SerialOverUDP System&Line Redundant or Serial System&Line Redundant line categories. Providing that, this communication should be also network redundant, enter "Secondary line" for both "A System" and "B System". This configuration then works in such a way that it concurrently sends and receives data from two systems and each is network-redundantly connected in compliance with the so-called Norwegian convention (Norwegian IEC 870-5-101 User Conventions).

Communication station configuration


  • Communication protocol "IEC 870-5-101 balanced", "IEC 870-5-101 unbalanced primary (Master)" or "IEC 870-5-101 unbalanced secondary (Slave)".
  • The station address is a decimal number in range 0 - 255 and is used in the protocol as the ASDU address.
  • The synchronization of the station real-time may be enabled also for the protocols "master" and "balanced - station A (controlling)". Set the synchronization period to a nonzero value. The synchronization is executed by ASDU 103 "Clock synchronization command" in the local time according to settings of D2000 System.

The Browse button opens a browsing dialog for the station address. If the communication is functional, a dialog with the ASDU addresses received so far is displayed. The Refresh button can be used to clear the list of received ASDU addresses.

Line protocol parameters


Configuration dialog box - tab Protocol parameters.
They influence some optional parameters of the protocol. The following station protocol parameters can be set:

Moxa TimeoutThe switching interval of the redundant devices MOXA NPort in case of communication error (only master, balanced).sec.10
Source FlagsSet flags FI..FL according to the source of line. If SerialOverUDP System+Line Redundant is used, the values will have these flags:
  • System A, primary line: FI
  • System A, secondary line: FJ
  • System B, primary line: FK
  • System B, secondary line: FL

Note: Flag was used in communication with redundant systems to distinguish the wrong values that were sent by a partner system, which was supposed to be passive and not to send nothing.
-NO
No Output FlagsActivation of parameter results in ignoring of flags FA..FH for output I/O tags. If this parameter is turned off, flags FA..FH are mapped to individual bits of a quality byte.-NO
Link Test TimeoutInterval of request sending "Test function for link" if timeout elapsed and no data telegrams were transferred (balanced only).sec.10

Single Value In Spontaneous Answer

When sending spontaneous changes, these will be sent one-per-ASDU and they will not be cumulated into longer packets. The parameter was implemented to handle a bug in a particular TM1703mic.-NO

Data Class

The class used for sending data (slave only). IEC 101 Master sends Class1 (high priority) and Class2 (normal) read data requests. Slave responds to them with data or a message that it has no data. In both Class1 and Class2 responses there is an ACD flag that the slave has Class1 data available. If set, the IEC 101 Master will then request Class1 data.

The parameter affects behavior as follows:

  • Class1&2 - IEC 101 Slave responds to Class1 and Class2 requests with data. The ACD flag sets if it has additional data.
  • Class1 - IEC 101 Slave sends all data as Class1 and responds to the Class2 requests that it has no data. The ACD flag sets if it has additional data.
  • Class2 - IEC 101 Slave sends all data as Class2 and responds to the Class1 requests that it has no data. The ACD flag sets to 0 (it does not have Class1 data).
  • Prio reply - IEC 101 Slave sends responses to command ASDUs as Class1 data and other ASDUs (value changes, responses to Interrogation) as Class2.
    Note: The responses to Interrogation (ASDU 100) and Counter Interrogation (ASDU 101) commands and all the values sent as a part of the response are also sent as Class1 data.

The default value of the parameter is Class1.

Single Request

Discard received data before sending a response (only slave). If a correct request is received and the IEC 101 Slave wants to send a response, it will clear the incoming queue before sending, if the queue has data in it. This parameter serves as a protection against various data duplications due to communication partner errors (e.g. OSI Monarch with RtuPing running during switching of active communication line).-NO

Note 1: Individual bits of bytes which determines a quality (SIQ for ASDU 1,2,30; DIQ for ASDU 3,4,31; QDS for 5-14,20,32-36) set the attributes FLA (0.bit), FLB (1.bit) ..FLH (7.bit).
Example:
for ASDU 4 : FLA=DPI bit 0, FLB=DPI bit 1, FLC=0, FLD=0, FLE=BL bit, FLF=SB bit, FLG=NT bit, FLH=IV bit.
for ASDU 16 : FLA..FLE Sequence number bity 0..4, FLF=CY bit, FLG=CA bit, FLH=IV bit

And:

  • if bit IV (Invalid) is set, status of value will be Invalid
  • if one of bits NT (Not topical), SB (Substituted), BL (Blocked), OV (Overflow), CA(Counter adjusted), CY(Counter overflow) is set for proper ASDU types, status of value will be Weak.

* - T-bit from value of ASDU sets the attribute FI into value of I/O tag which has value type Ci/Ai and they are interpreted as figures -64 up-to +63.

** - ASDU 17 and 38: value of byte SEP sets the attributes FLA (0.bit), FLB (1.bit) up-to FLH (7.bit), following 2 bytes (CP16Time2a) are interpreted as positive number (0-60 000) into value of I/O tag with value type Ci/Ai or as relative time (0-60 seconds) into value of I/O tag with value type TiR.

*** - ASDU 18, 39 and 40: value of byte SPE(ASDU 18,39) or OCI (ASDU 40) sets the attributes FLI (0.bit), FLJ (1.bit) up-to FLP (7.bit). The value of byte QDP sets the attributes FLA (0.bit), FLB (1.bit) up-to FLH (7.bit), following 2 bytes (CP16Time2a) are interpreted as a positive number (0-60 000) into the value of I/O tag with value type Ci/Ai or as a relative time (0-60 seconds) into the value of I/O tag with value type TiR.

Note 2: When using the system and line redundant categories of lines, the status of line and station is formed by a logical sum of all used lines. It means, that if the redundant system consists of four lines and just one line is working, the status of station and line is all right. The status of lines is presented with the help of special input or output I/O tag (of integer and real type, i.e. Ai/Ao/Ci/Co). The name of this I/O tag has this format: [line_name]_SystemStatus (e.g. for line L.Test it is M.Test_SystemStatus). The value of the I/O tag represents the binary format of the status of N-tuple lines. If the first three lines are okay but the last one does not work (SystemB/SecondaryLine) i.e. [FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE], I/O tag has the value 0b0111, i.e. 7.
The order of lines mapped to individual bits is [SystemB/SecondaryLine,  SystemB/PrimaryLine, SystemA/SecondaryLine, SystemA/PrimaryLine].


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 IEC870-5-101 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 IEC870-5-101 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.
