9.2 PTQ-104S Protocol Implementation
The intent of this section is to provide a quick understanding of how the PTQ-
104S module implements the IEC-60870-5-104 protocol, without going into
complex details of the specification.
The IEC-60870-5-104 protocol applies to Telecontrol equipment and systems
with data transmission for monitoring and controlling geographically widespread
processes. This protocol consists essentially of the IEC-60870-5-101 protocol,
with the addition of TCP/IP as the transport mechanism.
Any application with the IEC-60870-5-104 protocol consists of a client
(Controlling Station) and one or more servers (Controlled Stations). The client
constantly monitors and controls the data from each server in the TCP/IP
network.
The PTQ-104S works as an IEC-60870-5-104 server; it can send monitor data,
receive commands, or generate events to the client unit.
9.2.1 Module Address
The PTQ-104S module is identified at transport level using the IP Address and at
application level using the Common ASDU Address.
IP Address
The PTQ-104S module is identified by a unique IP address on the TCP/IP
network. You must edit the WATTCP.CFG configuration file (or use the
configuration tool) to enter a valid IP address.
