1. Introduction
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Overview of the application

• Key features
• Environment
1.1 Overview of the IEC 60870-5-101 Master Interface Module

The IEC-101 Master Interface module of SYNC enables communication with an external
IEC-101 Slave(s). The IEC-101 Master module in SYNC collects and stores data from the Slave
device(s). It enables users to integrate many IEC-101 slave devices to a single or multiple
master devices. SYNC can be used for protocol conversion and data concentration.
1.2 Key Features

• Reduces communication complexity in the SCADA or in the Master system
• Easy to configure and install even in a complex communication network
1.3 Environment
This section specifies the hardware and software requirements necessary to run the application.
1.3.1 Hardware Requirements

The hardware requirements are stated in table 1:
Requirement Description
Configuration Tool's System Memory 2 GB
Configuration Tool's System CPU Core i3 or higher
Configuration Tool's System Free disk space 350 MB
Table 1: Hardware Requirements
1.3.2 Software Requirements

The software requirements are stated in table 2:
Requirement Description
Operating System Win7 32bit/ Win 7 64bit or higher
.Net Framework .Net Framework 4.6 or higher
Table 2: Software Requirements

2. Getting Started
This section provides information on the tasks that are performed initially to work with the
application. The following topics are covered:
• Starting the Application

• Setting up and configuring the application
2.1 Starting the Application

Start the IEC-101 Master interface by powering the SYNC series of protocol converters loaded
with IEC-101 Master Module.
2.2 Setting Up and Configuring the Application

The configuration for IEC-101 Master Interface is provided by the EasyConnect configuration
utility. All the parameters relevant to the communication link, the IEC-101 protocol and the
IEC-101 Master database in SYNC can be entered into the configuration file using EasyConnect.
The configuration section is explained in Chapter 4. Download the configuration file to the SYNC
series of converters for the IEC-101 Master module in SYNC when the SYNC contains the
license and firmware supporting the IEC-101 Master module.

3. IEC 60870-5-101 Master Protocol Stack
This section on IEC-101 Master Interface module covers the following topics:
• Overview of the IEC-101 Master Protocol Stack
• R-Channel
• Creating configuration file
• Downloading configuration file
• Restarting IEC-101 Master interface module
3.1 Overview of IEC-101 Master Protocol Stack

This module in the SYNC series of protocol converters enables the SYNC to send and accept
frames confirming to IEC-101 protocol standard managed by IEC TC-57 and respond to the
accepted frames. This module implements different layers of the protocol with specified features
as mentioned in the IEC-101 Master Interface Interoperability section. The IEC-101 protocol can
be associated with any of the serial communication port of the SYNC. The SYNC models must
be loaded with the license and firmware supporting the IEC-101 Master interface along with the
configuration file containing all the specific information for the communication. The interoperability of
IEC-101 Master in SYNC is described in Appendix A.
3.2 IEC101 Master R-Channel

This feature enables physical layer redundancy for 101 Master. If the 101 master fails on its
active physical channel, it will shift to the configured R-Channel interface and wait for a 101 data.
On receiving 101 data on the redundant channel, the 101 Master Interface will set its active
physical channel as the current one. The R-Channel can be added from the sub-menu under
IEC101 Master Channel.
3.3 Creating Configuration File

The configuration of any protocol interface module in SYNC can be created with EasyConnect
configuration utility. The entire configuration for a Master protocol will be divided into three sections
namely Channel, Node and Profile. The parameters in different sections of configuration are
explained in Chapter 4. The configuration steps involve addition of IEC101 master channel, node
and profile. The same can be mapped to any slave protocols. The details of configuration are
given in the SYNC software User Guide and in the EasyConnect help.
3.4 Downloading Configuration File

Download the configuration file into SYNC to use the parameters as entered through the
EasyConnect utility. The details are provided in the SYNC User Manual.
3.5 Restarting IEC-101 Master Interface Module

Restart the IEC-101 Master interface to enable the downloaded configuration file. The details for
this activity are mentioned in the SYNC User Manual.

• IEC-101 R-Channel parameter details
• IEC-101 Master Node or Station parameter details
• IEC-101 Master Profile parameter details

IEC 101 Master supports auto mapping of profile rows. Users can either auto map the entire row
configured in the master profile or some selected rows. Auto mapping of profile rows of IEC 101
protocol can be done with the EasyConnect configuration utility. More details on auto mapping
are available in the SYNC User Manual.
IEC 101 Master profile points of same ‘ ASDU Type’ are grouped in Auto Map window.
