1.6.3 Quick Start
Step 1: Configure the Number of Slaves (Sessions)
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is a master-slave protocol where the slaves are
typically protection equipments for substations. The 5105-103M-PDPS module
supports a total 16 slaves (sessions) connected to the module's two application
ports.
Note: The actual number of available sessions (slaves) will depend on the total number of
sessions and sectors (configured. The recommended maximum number of sessions is sixteen.
In the example above, the module will only poll sessions 0 to 4. The module
would not poll sessions 5 to 31.
In Step 3, you will configure each session as an actual slave in the network.
