2.20 Group Codes
One aspect of the point configuration database that leads to confusion is the
group definition field. This assignment for each point assigns a point to one or
more interrogation groups. Use of interrogation groups permits the controlling
unit to interface with a specific set of data. Refer to the IEC 60870-5-104
standard for a full discussion of interrogation groups. A specific group, Periodic
data group, reports data points on a set frequency. The frequency is set in the
Cyclic Data Transmission parameter in the configuration file. Remember that a
point can be assigned to more than one group.

0x00080000 Interrogated by group 2 counter request
0x00100000 Interrogated by group 3 counter request
0x00200000 Interrogated by group 4 counter request
0x40000000 Disable event scanning of this point
0x80000000 Periodic/cyclic data returned from unit
If the highest bit (bit 31) is set, data will be produced by the driver for the
specified point at the rate set for periodic data generation. Bit 30 (0x40000000)
enables scanning of this point for event generation. If the bit is clear and the data
type is set for scanning, events will be generated for the point. If the bit is set,
events will not be generated for the point. This feature can be used to select
which points will generate events for the controlling station and can get rid of
event data that is not important to the application.
