IEC 60870-5-104 Server Specifications
Operating in the Server mode, the module accepts commands from a Client(s) to
read/write data stored in the module’s internal registers. This data is easily and
continuously transferred between the MVI56-104S module and the ControlLogix
processor’s data registers.
The IEC 60870-5-104 Server functionality supported by the module includes:
The IEC 60870-5-104 communication driver is built in accordance to the
approved IEC specification
The module functions as a Server on the network supporting data read/write
commands from an IEC 60870-5-104 client on the network
One TCP server socket
Supports unsolicited messages, either cyclic or spontaneous (cyclic rate is
configurable)
Supports clock synchronization commands from client or from the
ControlLogix processor
Supports Group interrogation (Global, General 1 to 16, Global Counters,
Counters 1 to 4)
Event timestamping configurable by type (None, 24 bit, 56 bit)
Event queue supports 99 points for each data type
Optional user defined list of acceptable client host IP addresses
Configurable Common ASDU address (sector) and Information Object
Address
An IEC Interoperability Document for the MVI56 is available which fully
documents data types supported by the module
