5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI56 IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module allows ControlLogix
backplane I/O compatible processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-103
compatible devices. Devices commonly supporting the protocol include relays,
breakers, sub-station Communication Modules and other serial communication
devices used in power monitoring.
The MVI56- 103M supports up to 32 total field devices between the module’s two
IEC 60870-5- 103 Master ports. The module’s communication ports can each be
independently configured, allowing two separate field networks to be
implemented. The field device data is exchanged between the MVI56 module
and the ControlLogix processor over the backplane.
5.1.1 General Specifications
 Single Slot - 1756 backplane compatible
 The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to
processor memory for data transfer between processor and module.
 Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor.
Sample ladder file included.
 Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to
module. Sample configuration file included
 Local or remote rack
5.1.2 Functional Specifications - MVI56-103M
The MVI56-103M module supports the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol to the following
specifications:
 The IEC 60870-5-103 communication driver is built in accordance to the
approved IEC specification
 The module has two independent Master ports, each configurable via a
simple configuration file
 Supports up to 32 sessions (controlled devices) between the two ports
 Supports up to five sectors (separate databases) for each session, with
individual database definition for each sector
 Total of 1000 user-configurable commands to control data transfer to/from
devices (controlled devices)
 Supports clock synchronization from/to the processor
 Event data received from the Control Devices updates the module database
(Date and Time stamping is not stored or used by module)
 Class 1 and Class 2 delay parameters are configurable for each session
 An IEC Interoperability Document for the module is available from the web
site, which fully documents data types supported by the module
