IEC 60870-5-101 Slave Communication Module

MVI56-101S Edition 2

The IEC 60870-5-101 Slave Serial Communication Module, Edition 2, allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix I/O compatible processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-101 protocol compatible hosts. The module's two powerful and highly-configurable redundant ports allow the many SCADA host systems supporting the IEC protocol to be integrated into the ControlLogix platform. The MVI56-101S Edition 2 Slave module is designed to address the application where a host systems using the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol must communicate with a ControlLogix processor. This lastest version offers IEC 60870-5-101Edition 2 protocol features, such as additional datatypes and additional Causes of Transmission (COT) support.

Features and Benefits

The MVI56-101S Edition 2 module is the best way to add IEC 60870-5-101 protocol interface support to the ControlLogix platform. This module has two powerful and highly-configurable IEC 60870-5-101 Slave serial ports, allowing many SCADA and field devices using this IEC protocol to be integrated into the ControlLogix platform.

The module acts as an input/output module between the IEC 60870-5-101 telecontrol network and the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix backplane. The data transfer from the ControlLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the network. A 5000-word register space in the module exchanges data between the processor and the telecontrol network.

General Specifications

• Single Slot - 1756 backplane compatible
• The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor and module
• Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor. Sample ladder file included.
• Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to module. Sample configuration file included
• Local or remote rack

Applications

The MVI56-101S Slave module is designed to address the application where a host systems using the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol must communicate with a ControlLogix processor. As such, the IEC Slave module can be used as a gateway in many SCADA installations in industries such as:

• Power and distribution applications
• Petrochemical
• Water and Gas Applications
• Oil and Gas production

Functional Specifications

The MVI56-101S Edition 2 module accepts commands from an attached master unit. A port configured as a virtual slave permits a remote master to interact with all data contained in the module. This data can be derived from the ControlLogix processor. The remote master device uses the fully-configured databases in the module to control outputs and monitor inputs. The module can operate in balanced or unbalanced mode.

• User-definable module memory usage
• Storage of IEC time used in module is available in the database
• Protocol implementation conforms to the IEC 60870-5-101 specification with fully configurable parameters
• Priority Queues
• Invalid Bit Monitoring
• Supports Balanced and Unbalanced Mode
• Supports CP24 and CP56 time formats for events
• Event generation configurable per point or data type
