Wireless IEC 60870-5-104 Server Gateway

6201-WA-104S

Product Description

The ProLinx Wireless IEC60870-5-104 Server Gateway creates a powerful wireless connection between devices on an IEC 104 Server network.

The PWP modules offer one-to-one or one-to-many interconnect scenarios. Data is exchanged between devices and/or networks using a shared common database and an efficient but powerful wireless protocol. This common database provides the "backbone" communications for various field devices using different networks.

The 104S module accepts commands from an attached master unit on the network and generates unsolicited messages.

Product Applications

The IEC60870-5-104 Server gateway is a powerful module designed with Server support, enabling easy connection to other IEC 104 devices. The 104S module has been designed to address the application where a device using the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol needs to communicate with a wireless network. As such, the IEC server module can be used as a gateway in many SCADA installations in industries such as:
  • Power
  • Petrochemical
  • Water treatment
  • Oil and gas production

Functional Specifications

Internal Database

The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information.

The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.

Application Data Area

The data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols. The database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devices. Commands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the database.

Status Data Area

This area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each port.

Configuration Data Area

This area contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, this area.

IEC 60870-5-104 Server Protocol Specifications

Operating in the Server mode, the protocol driver accepts commands from one or more clients to read/write data stored in the module's internal registers.
The 104S module acts as a gateway between the IEC 60870-5-104 Ethernet network and many of the other serial and network protocols, as well as several proprietary interfaces.
General specifications include:

  • User-definable module memory usage
  • Protocol implementation conforms to the IEC 60870-5-104 specification with fully configurable parameters

The 104S module accepts commands from an attached master unit on the network and generates unsolicited messages. These last sets of messages are either spontaneous or cyclic. Data transferred to the host is derived from the module's internal database. The remote master device can control data in the database and hence the devices connected using the other protocol in the module using standard control messages supported in the protocol. The remote master device uses the fully-configured databases in the module to control outputs and monitor inputs.
