IEC-60870-5-104 Interoperability

This companion standard presents sets of parameters and alternatives from which subsets have to be selected
to implement particular telecontrol systems. Certain parameter values, such as the number of octets in the
COMMON ADDRESS of ASDUs represent mutually exclusive alternatives. This means that only one value of
the defined parameters is admitted per system. Other parameters, such as the listed set of different process
information in command and in monitor direction allow the specification of the complete set or subsets, as
appropriate for given applications.This clause summarizes the parameters of the previous clauses to facilitate a
suitable selection for a specific application. If a system is composed of equipment stemming from different
manufacturers it is necessary that all partners agree on the selected parameters.
The selected parameters should be crossed in the white boxes.
Note
- In addition, the full specification of a system may require individual selection of certain parameters for certain
parts of the system, such as the individual selection of scaling factors for individually addressable measured
values.

The interoperability list is defined as in IEC 60870-5-104 and extended with parameters used in this standard.
Parameters which are not valid for this companion standard are marked with hatched boxes.

Note:
The check boxes have the following meaning:

implemented by Siemens Telecontrol Interface

no check box: not implemented by Siemens Telecontrol Interface

subset selected for this project (empty check box to be replaced by this symbol)
