This section covers the following topics:
• Overview of the application
• Key features
• Environment
1.1. Overview of the IEC 60870-5-104 Master Interface Module

The IEC-104 Master Interface module of SYNC will enable user to communicate with an external
IEC-104 Slave(s). The IEC-104 Master module in SYNC will collect data from the slave device(s)
and store data in SYNC database. User will find it handy in case of integrating many IEC-
104 slave devices, to a single or multiple master devices. The protocol conversion and data
concentration can be achieved using SYNC.
1.2. Key Features

• Reduce communication complexity in the SCADA or Master system.
• Easy to configure and install IEC-104 Master even in a complex communication network.
1.3. Environment
This section specifies the hardware and software requirements necessary to run the application.
Hardware Requirements
The hardware requirements are stated as follows:

Requirement Description
Configuration Tool's System Memory 512 MB or more
Configuration Tool's System CPU 1.5 GB or more
Configuration Tool's System Free disk space 96 DPI
Table 1: Hardware Requirements
1.3.1. Software Requirements

The software requirements are stated as follows:

.Net Framework .Net framework 3.5 or higher
Table 2: Software Requirements

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

Powering of SYNC series of protocol converters loaded with IEC-104 Master Module will enable
IEC-104 Master interface to start.
2.2. Application Setup and Configuration

The configuration for IEC-104 Master Interface is provided by EasyConnect configuration
Utility. All the parameters relevant to the communication link, IEC-104 protocol, and IEC-104
Master database in SYNC can be entered into the configuration file using EasyConnect. The
configuration section is explained in Chapter 4. The configuration file must be downloaded to the
SYNC series of converters for a IEC-104 Master module in SYNC, when the SYNC contains the
license and firmware supporting IEC-104 Master module.

3. IEC 60870-5-104 Master Protocol Stack
3
This section on IEC-104 Master Interface module covers the following topics:
• Overview of the IEC-104 Master Protocol Stack
• Create configuration file
• Download configuration file
• Restart IEC-104 Master interface module
3.1. Overview of IEC-104 Master Protocol Stack

This module in the SYNC series of protocol converters enables the SYNC to send and accept
frames confirming to IEC-104 protocol standard managed by IEC-TC-57 and respond to the
accepted frames. This module implements the different layers of the protocol with specified
features mentioned in the IEC-104 Master Interface Interoperability section. The IEC-104
protocol can be associated to any of the TCP/IP server port. The SYNC models must be loaded
with the license and firmware supporting IEC-104 Master interfacing, and the configuration file
containing all the specific information for the communication. The interoperability of IEC-104
Master in SYNC is described in Appendix A.
3.2. Create Configuration File

The configuration of any protocol interface module in SYNC can be done with EasyConnect
configuration Utility. The entire configuration for a Master protocol will be divided into mainly
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 IEC-104
master channel, node and profile. The same can be mapped to any slave protocols. The details
of configuration are given in SYNC User Manual or EasyConnect help.
3.3. Download Configuration File

The configuration file must be downloaded into the SYNC to use the parameters as entered
through EasyConnect. The details are provided in the SYNC User Manual.
3.4. Restart IEC-104 Interface Module

The IEC-104 interface must be restarted to get the effect of the configuration file downloaded.
The details for this activity is mentioned in SYNC User Manual.
