The
IEC 60870-5 standard defines the communication protocol for remote control systems and for monitoring and controlling of geographicaly large processes.
Five documents specify the base
IEC 60870-5:
- IEC 60870-5-1 Transmission Frame Formats
- IEC 60870-5-2 Data Link Transmission Services
- IEC 60870-5-3 General Structure of Application Data
- IEC 60870-5-4 Definition and coding of Information Elements
- IEC 60870-5-5 Basic Application Functions
The common standards are based on these documents:
- IEC 60870-5-101 Transmission Protocols, common standards especially for basic remote control tasks
- IEC 60870-5-102 Common standard for transmission of integrated totals in electric power systems
- IEC 60870-5-103 Transmission protocols, common standard for the informative interface of protection equipment
- IEC 60870-5-104 Transmission Protocols, Network access for IEC 60870-5-101 using standard transport profiles
Communication by OPC server
For communication of the PROMOTIC application by the
IEC 60870-5 protocol the
OPC servers delivered by third parties can be used.
