Configuring and using
- 1. Create an output transport of the type "Sockets", set its Identifier like to "IEC60870", one for each the device-PLC.
- 2. Set proper address with port 2404 and timeouts of the Sockets device-PLC.
- 3. Create and start a logical controller object or use any present one with need scheduling properties. For interaction by IEC-60870-104 you need the execution period not greater than 0.1 second!
- 4. Create a logical parameter object and select this template for that, one for each the device-PLC — enable the parameter.
- 5. Into the tab "Template configuration" of the logical parameter object you need to set:
- Transport — to address of the transport into step 1. Tracing for the address changing is supported.
- Address — remote station and object address in the format "{addr}.{OA}", for physical systems without a gateway is not particularly important.
- Retry connection time — retry connection time in seconds, at the connection missing.
- Poll all time — time in seconds of the complete data requesting, sending C_IC_NA_1.
- Acknowledge lack activity timeout, in seconds.
- Acknowledge timeout, in seconds.
- Test timeout, in seconds.
- Maximum unconfirmed — not used into the client since it is not generate such flows.
- Maximum no ack — maximum input packages after what the client will send "Ack".
- 6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of the gathered data to the object "items", creation/placing and checking for commands of the proper attributes, created by the "itemsSet" instruction.
- 7. In the process of the working, through the tab "Attributes" of operational data, in addition to obtaining the result, it is possible to perform operative setup and control on:
- Items set by — for controlled items naming and definition as attributes and accessible for write.
- All items, {Item attributes} — direct writing for the writable items.
