Supported devices
The IEC870IP driver allows CitectSCADA to communicate with devices that use the IEC 60870-5-104IEC 60870-5-104 is a communication standard created by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It enables communication between control stations and substations via a standard TCP/IP network. communication protocol. The driver is limited to the 104 extension of the protocol, as it uses TCP/IP as its network interface.
Note: The driver can only support up to 256 devices per I/O server. If you configure more than this amount, the 257th device will fail to come online, and a hardware alarm will be raised.
Interoperability
The IEC 60870-5-104 standard defines a set of parameters and alternatives it can support, compared against those used by the 101 standard. This is outlined in the standard in the interoperability list.
Any telecontrol equipment or systems that are designed to adhere to the standard can implement a subset of the alternatives defined in this list, based on specific requirements. To view the subset of options used by the IEC870IP driver, see the appendix IEC 870-5-104 interoperability list.
