IEC-104 application settings

The use of the IEC-104 protocol

The IEC-104 and IEC-101 protocols share the same ASDU level messaging but
differ on the link level. IEC-104 is intended for packet-switched TCP/ IP
communication whereas IEC-101 is intended for serial communication. By using
the device, the IEC-101 slaves (for example RTUs) can be connected to a IEC-104
master (for example SCADA). The device requests an event from the IEC-101
slave locally and sends them to the IEC-104 master. This eliminates the need to
continuously poll the data remotely and therefore reduces the communication costs
on pay-per-use wireless network.

Configuring IEC-104 application settings

1. In the left pane, select Serial Port and I/O/IEC-104 Gateway (RSx).
2. View and change settings in the view that opens.
3. Click Submit to save the settings.

Basic settings
Enable Enables or disables IEC-104 to IEC-101 gateway functionality.
IEC-104
gateway
Serial settings The serial settings define the properties of physical serial
communication between the device and an IEC-101 slave. The
selection between RS-232/422/485 is made with physical DIP
switches located below the RS2 serial port.
Serial port Indicates the serial port to which the settings apply.
Speed IEC-101 serial communication speed (bits per second)
Data bits Number of data bits used on IEC-101 serial communication
Parity Parity method used on IEC-101 serial communication
