Rene Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi! Is there any ideas how V1040 PLC can communicate through TCP/IP network with SCADA software using the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol? For example the SCADA must have access to read 20MI-s from V1040. Is the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted January 24, 2013 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Is the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol supported? No. You'll have to roll your own with the protocol block. Can you use Modbus? Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Of course i can use Modbus in other cases. But our national power grid manager use only IEC 60870-5-104/101 protocol in their central SCADA systems (80-90% of the European power grid data communication systems based to the IEC 60870-5-xxx protocol), and i must transmit to power grid manager some data from my V1040 PLC. If there is no direct support to IEC protocol, the easiest way is to me is to use the separate protocol converter unit (Modbus TCP to IEC 60870-5-104 protocol).
