Step 5 - Configure the IEC 60870-5-104 Settings
Finally the IEC 60870-5-104 settings need to be configured which helps to ensure the protocol operates according to the requirements of the SCADA system in use.
The settings are contained on four pages in WSOS.
IEC 60870-5-104 configuration pages can be opened in WSOS by going to:
> > >
From there, there are four options available:
-
IEC 60870-5-101/4 Data Configuration
-
IEC 60870-5-101/4 Communications Configuration
-
IEC 60870-5-101/4 Transmission Services
-
IEC 60870-5-101/4 IP Validation
Generally, the recommended option is to open the IEC 60870-5-101/4 Communications Configuration page first as the other three configuration pages can be opened from there.
The default IEC 60870-5-104 settings have been carefully selected and very few must need to be changed for the protocol to run.
Probably the most critical setting is the Common Address on the Transmission Services page which is unique to each device.
For more details on the IEC 60870-5-104 Communications Protocol implementation on the PowerLogic ADVC Controller, refer to ADC01-DOC-246.
