IEC 60870-5-101 Protocol – Technical Manual
Introduction
This document describes the Nu-Lec IEC 60870-5-101 implementation for Automatic Circuit
Reclosers (ACR) and Load Break Switches (LBS) on Control and Protection Module (CAPM)
types 4 & 5 (controller).
For more information about the ACR or LBS modes refer to relevant technical manual for your
switchgear type.
IEC 60870-5-101 protocol standard (the IEC standard) is more complex than most others, it is
therefore essential to read the ‘Overview’ section in order to set up the SCADA system correctly.
1. Overview
The controller combines the functions of protection relay and switchgear controller into a single
intelligent electronic device (IED).
The controller provides a user-friendly operator interface on a four line LCD control panel that
allows configuration and control of the switchgear.
In addition the controller generates time tagged “events” which are displayed on the operator
control panel. These events show the history of the switchgear operation for the benefit of the
operator and for post fault analysis.
Examples would be:
• Operator Actions such as trip or close
• Protection Pick up
• Protection Trips
• Fault Current Levels
• Auto-reclose actions
These events are optimised to give the operator the most useful information.
Electricity supply utilities frequently link the controller into their SCADA systems as a Remote
Terminal Unit (RTU).
To make this simple the controller provides:
• Mounting room for a radio or modem in the control cubicle.
• Power supply for the radio or modem in the control cubicle.
• Embedded protocol handler for the required SCADA protocol in the controller firmware.
The IEC870 protocol allows digital and measured data to be sent from the controller to the SCADA
system with time tags attached. This facility has enabled Nu-Lec to provide a sophisticated SCADA
system interface that not only provides the SCADA system with status information but also allows
the SCADA system to re-create the Event Log display on the operator control panel.
1.1. Status Points
This implementation provides a set of status information about the switchgear that can be used by a
SCADA system to generate displays and events for operational purposes. This might be described
as the “traditional” set of SCADA system data and are called the “Status Points”, refer to
Appendices C, D, E and F for ACR status points or appendices J, K and L for LBS status points.
For example:
• Open or Close Status
• Lockout Status
• Fault Flags
• Line Currents and Voltages
Time tags are optional. If enabled, these status points are returned with time tags of either 10 or 500
millisecond resolution.
1.2. Controls
A list of the controls supported by the protocol handler is detailed in Appendix E and Appendix F.
All controls have a corresponding binary status point. The master station must use these status
points to verify that the control action has been successful. Sometimes a control will be rejected
because of an underlying controller condition preventing the action. These conditions are detailed
in the table in the appendices.
The IEC870 protocol handler can trigger two events to be recorded in the controllers event log -
“IEC870 Trip Req” and “IEC870 Close Req”. This event log reporting indicates only that the
protocol handler has requested a trip or a close from the CAPM. It does not necessarily mean that
the action has been taken. As detailed above, the request may be over-ridden by operational
conditions.
The IEC870 protocol handler is designated as a remote user. Refer to the equipment manual for
more information.
1.3. Point Configuration
Several means are provided to configure the data points required. These include:
• Selection of three sets of measured points – full, small and none. This allows the
controller be configured to suit the communications and SCADA system constraints.
• Flexible data object addressing.
• ASDU object type selection for binary and measured input data.
1.4. Terminology
The terminology used in this document is that Earth Fault or Ground Fault is described as Earth /
Ground Fault and Sensitive Earth Fault (SEF) or Sensitive Ground Fault (SGF) is described as
SEF/SGF.
Also, bushing terminology used in this document is for U and W series switchgear ie I and X for the
switchgear terminals. On N or RL series switchgear the 1 side is described as I and the 2 side is
described as X.
Also note that the phase terminology is ABC and refers always to the phase set by the Terminal
Designation or “Phasing” option, never to the physical bushing or terminal on the switchgear.
1.5. Password Protection
All IEC870 panel fields require password entry unless described as ‘Display only’ or otherwise
stated.
For more information on operator control panel usage refer to the equipment manual.
1.6. LBS vs ACR Point Mapping
The IEC 60870 protocol handler supports independent point maps for the ACR and LBS switchgear
types. The mapping for each is listed in the appendices. The type supported by the protocol
handler is firmware dependent and determined by the controller on power up. If the incorrect
configuration is supplied please refer to Nulec industries or your distributor.
Use of IEC870 for LBS switchgear is only available with CAPM V27.09.XX+ software.
2. Applicability
2.1. Control Cubicle Software
This document applies to Nu-Lec pole top switchgear using a CAPM-4/5 Controller which displays
“IEC 60870-101 Manual N00-341R16+” on the controller capability pages.
To find these pages refer to the main equipment manual.
Some features described in this manual may only be available on later releases of the software. In
this case the manual will declare which version of software applies.
2.2. IEC 60870 Protocol
The protocol version implemented by Nu-Lec is IEC 60870-5-101 and is as described in the
3. Protocol Configuration
The IEC 60870 protocol handler adds several pages to the “System Status” menus. The additional
pages fall into the following groups,
Parameter Description
IEC870 messages on the communication link.
If the Link Addr is greater than the maximum permitted by a
new Link Addr Size setting then the CAPM will
automatically reset the Link Addr to the maximum for the
new size.
Note: O octets only selectable when ‘Link Mode’ is
BALANCED.
Range: 0..2 octets
Factory default is 2 octets
Link Addr Link Service Address
The link layer’s service address of the CAPM on the
communication link.
This is often referred to as the hardware address of the
CAPM on the communication link.
Range: 1 – 255 or 1 – 65535 depending upon
Configured Link Addr Size
Factory default is 5
Common Addr Size Common Address Field Size
The number of octets in the application layer ASDU
common address field of all IEC870 messages on the
communication link.
If the Common Addr is greater than the maximum permitted
by a new Common Addr Size setting then the CAPM will
automatically reset the Common Addr to the maximum for
the new size.
Range: 1 or 2 octets
Factory default is 2 octets
Common Addr Common Address
The application layer’s ASDU common address.
This is the logical address of the CAPM IEC870-101
protocol handler’s data.
It is recommended that the Common Addr and Link Addr of
the CAPM be configured to the same value in order to
simplify communication link addressing.
Range: 1 – 255 or 1 – 65535 depending upon configured
Common Addr Size
Factory default is 5
Object Addr Size Information Object Address (IOA) Field Size
The number of octets in the application layer information
object address field of all IEC870 messages on the
communication link.
If any of the information object addresses are greater than the
maximum permitted by a new Object Addr Size setting then
the CAPM will automatically reset the information object
address to the maximum for the new size.
If this field is set to a smaller value then all information
object address fields must be checked and assigned to user
defined addresses taking care that there is no overlap
between object types. It is an IEC60870-5-101 protocol
requirement that all points have a discrete object address. No
two points are permitted to have the same information object
address on a communication link.
Parameter Description
Range: 1, 2 or 3 octets
Factory default is 2 octets
Time Size Time Stamp Size
If set to 24 bits then the time tag reported has minutes,
seconds and milliseconds (MM:SS.ms).
If set to 56 bits then the time tag reported has date, hour,
minutes, seconds and milliseconds (MM/DD/YY
HH:MM:SS.ms).
Range: 24 or 56 bits
Factory default is 24 bits
Select/Exec TO Select/Execute Timeout
Maximum time in seconds between the CAPM receiving a
select command and receiving an execute command for the
command to be valid. This time is used to determine validity
of both binary and setpoint commands.
Range: 1 to 900 seconds
Factory default is 3 seconds
Frame TO Frame Size Timeout
The maximum time, in milliseconds, after receiving the first
octet that the CAPM will wait for an entire frame from the
master station before determining a communication failure.
Range: 0 to 65535 milliseconds
Factory default is 5000 milliseconds
Cyclic Dly Delay Between Cyclic Data(Class2) Reporting
Minimum number of seconds between cyclic data
transmissions.
If enabled, Cyclic data are periodic updates of measured
values that are reported in Class 2 poll responses.
If set to 0, Cyclic reporting is disabled.
Refer to Sections 3.2.4, 3.2.5 for more information.
Range: 0 to 65535 seconds
Factory default is 300 seconds.
Tx Delay Transmission delay
Additional time in milliseconds between receiving a request
and sending the response. Usually 0, it is used when the
master station requires time to disable its transmitter. This
field is often used in RS485 networks.
Range: 0 to 65535 ms
Factory default is 0 ms.
One Octet Ack One Octet Acknowledge Usage
Enable/disable single octet Ack responses to Send/Confirm
Expected primary link functions.
If there is no buffered class 1 data (ie ACD = 0) then the
CAPM will respond to the following primary function codes
with a single character Ack (0xE5) instead of a fixed length
five character Ack.
• Reset remote link,
• Reset user process, and
• User data
Range: ON, OFF
Factory default is OFF
One Octet Resp One Octet Response Usage
Parameter Description
Enable/disable single octet Ack responses to class 1 and class
2 polls.
The CAPM will respond to any class 1 poll or any class 2
poll with a single character Ack (0xE5) instead of a fixed
length five character Nack.
Range: ON, OFF
Factory default is OFF
Link (mode) Link Transmission Procedure Mode
Note 2. Selects unbalanced or balanced transmission procedure
Note 3 mode.
Note 4 Range: UNBALANCED, BALANCED
Factory default is Link UNBALANCED
Link Reset EOI Link Reset EOI Mode
Range: OFF, ON
Note:
1. If a measured value has undergone multiple change events in between reporting to the master
station then only a single up-to-date value for the point will be reported.
2. If Link (mode) is set ‘UNBALANCED’ while ‘Link Addr Size’ is zero (0) then the ‘Link Addr
Size’ is forced to the default parameter setting of two (2) Octets.
3. If ‘Balanced’ mode transmission procedures are used, each station may initiate message
transfers, it is restricted to communications channels such as GSM, RS232/422 direct and
cannot be used on multi-drop communication systems such as radio and RS485. Refer: IEC
60870-5-2 Clause 6.
4. When configured with ‘Link (mode) Balanced’ and ‘Dial Out DISABLED’ any other protocol
handler setting changes will transmit (physical link permitting) ‘Link Status’ and ’Reset Link’,
messages to the master station.
3.1.3. Clock Synchronisation
If an hour change or a date change has occurred since last report, then the protocol handler stores a
spontaneous clock synchronisation event message in its event buffer. The clock change event is
transmitted to the master station in order for it to be able to distinguish between events of the
previous hour and those of the current hour. The clock synchronisation event will be stored
irrespective of the time format - 24 bits (MM:SS.ms) or 56 bits (MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS.ms).
Time stamp data is invalid if one of the following conditions is true:
• The controller has performed cold start and has not received a clock synchronisation command.
• The controller has not received any communications from the master station for 24 hours
• The controller has not received any clock synchronisation commands from the master station
for a 72 hours

4. Physical Layer
4.1. Communications Ports Supported
The protocol hander can communicate with the Master station via one of the following ports.
• RS-232 Port P8
• V23 FSK Port P10
4.2. RS-232 Communication Specifications
4.2.1. RS-232 Hardware Signals
P8 Pin Direction Description
2 From controller Tx Data (TxD)
3 To controller Rx Data (RxD)
4 From controller Request To Send (RTS)
Note: The controller uses RTS/CTS hardware handshaking. If not supported by the master then a
loop back is required at the controller end of the communication cable.
Parameter Description
Port Selection
This field selects the communications medium the IEC 60870-5-101
protocol uses for transmission.
OFF When OFF is selected, the protocol handler is disabled.
P8 RS-232 When P8 RS –232 is selected, the protocol uses the P8 serial port for all
data. Also, the IEC870-101 Communications 1 and 2 pages are
automatically updated to reflect relevant RS-232 data as detailed below.
P10 V23 FSK When P10 V23 FSK is selected, the protocol uses the built in V23
modem on P10. Also, the IEC870-101 Communications 1 and 2 pages
are automatically updated to reflect relevant FSK data. Refer to section
4.3 for the P10 configuration details.
Range: OFF, P8 RS-232, P10 FSK V23
Parameter Description
Factory default is P8 RS – 232
Protocol Status
Indication of the current status of the communications. (Display only)
RUNNING means that the port has been seized and the protocol handler
RUNNING is running.
INACTIVE means that the protocol handler has been disabled via the
INACTIVE OFF state above or has been unable to lock onto a communication port.
This is usually caused by another application already having exclusive
access to the port.
Range: INACTIVE, RUNNING
Pre-Tx Pre-Transmission Period
The time delay between keying RTS to when the message starts.
Range: 50 to 1000 ms.
Factory default is 250 ms
Post-Tx Post-Transmission Period
The time after the last character is sent before RTS is negated.
Range: 0 to 1000 ms.
Factory default is 35 ms
Parity Communication Parity
Determines the parity of the communication port.
The IEC 60870-5-101 specification requires that the parity be EVEN for
full compliance with its data integrity standard (Hamming distance = 4).
This parameter has been provided for compatibility with communication
systems that do not support parity.
Range: NONE, EVEN
Factory default is EVEN
DCD Usage
DCD Ignore If the modem does not support a Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal this
parameter should be set to DCD Ignore.
Even if the modem does support a DCD signal this parameter is usually
set to DCD Ignore. This is because most point-point systems using
conventional modems run as full duplex so that the DCD is always
asserted during normal operation.
When set to this mode, the protocol uses any received data to build an
incoming packet irrespective of DCD input signal. Also the protocol will
DCD Don’t transmit irrespective of the DCD input signal.
Ignore If the modem supports a Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal this parameter
can be set to DCD Don’t Ignore. When set to this mode, the protocol will
only read data and build an incoming protocol packet when DCD is
asserted. In addition, the protocol will not transmit when DCD is
asserted. This is necessary for multi-dropped systems or ones shared with
voice users or some radio-modems.
Range: DCD Ignore, DCD Don’t Ignore
Factory default is DCD Ignore
Baud Communications Baud Rate
Range: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 baud.
Factory default is 9600 Baud
Pre-amble Preamble Usage
Determines whether the protocol transmits some preamble characters
prior to the start of a protocol message. The message itself is not
otherwise modified. Some modems require these characters to assist with
message reception and synchronisation at the master station. Start of
Parameter Description
frame filtering at the master station ensures identification of the protocol
ENABLED message.
DISABLED ENABLED means that the preamble characters are transmitted prior to a
protocol message.
DISABLED means that protocol message are transmitted without any
preamble characters.
Range: ENABLED, DISABLED
Factory default is DISABLED
First Char Preamble First Character
This is the first character to be transmitted as a preamble. The character
is specified by entering its ASCII code in hexadecimal format.
Range: is 0 to FF hexadecimal.
Factory default is 0x55
Repeat First Number of Preamble First Characters
This is the number of times the first character will be repeated as part of
the preamble.
Eg if all preamble settings are at default values then the preamble sent is
0x55, 0x55, 0x55, 0xFF
Range: 0 to 20.
Factory default is 3
Last Char Last Preamble Character
This is the last char that will be sent as part of the preamble. The
character is specified by entering its ASCII code in hexadecimal format.
Range: is 0 to FF hexadecimal.
Factory default is 0xFF
4.2.4. Carrier Detect
When “DCD Ignore” is configured, the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) input is not used. All data is
received and transmitted irrespective of the state of the DCD signal.
When “DCD Don’t Ignore” is configured, the protocol handler will not begin to transmit a packet
until DCD is negated, and will only receive data when DCD is asserted.
Refer to the DCD Usage parameter description for more information.
4.2.5. Transmitting a IEC870 Packet
Transmission of a IEC870 packet follows the steps below
1. RTS line is asserted
2. Protocol handler waits until the pre-transmission delay expires (Delay set from the panel)
3. Checks CTS is asserted.
4. The pre-amble is transmitted (Optional. Set from the panel).
5. Checks CTS is asserted.
6. The IEC870 packet is transmitted
7. Waits until the post-transmission delay expires (Delay set from the panel)
8. RTS is negated
4.2.6. DTR
DTR is asserted by the protocol at power-up or P8 Selection.

Port Selection
This field selects the communications medium the IEC870 protocol
handler uses for transmission.
OFF When OFF is selected, the protocol handler is disabled.
P8 RS-232 When P8 RS –232 is selected, the protocol uses the P8 serial port for all
data. Also, the IEC870 Communications 1 and 2 pages are automatically
updated to reflect relevant RS-232 data. Refer to section 4.2 for the P8
P10 V23 FSK configuration details.
When P10 V23 FSK is selected, the protocol uses the built in V23
modem on P10. Also, the IEC870 Communications 1 and 2 pages are
automatically updated to reflect relevant FSK data as detailed below.
Parameter Description
Range: OFF, P8 RS-232, P10 V23 FSK
Factory default is P8 RS-232
Protocol Status
Indication of the current status of the communications. (Display only)
RUNNING means that the port has been seized and the protocol handler
RUNNING is running.
INACTIVE means that the protocol handler has been disabled via the
INACTIVE OFF state above or has been unable to lock onto a communication port.
This is usually caused by another application already having exclusive
access to the port.
Range: INACTIVE, RUNNING
Pre-Tx Pre-Transmission Period
The time delay between keying PTT to when the message starts.
During this time a logic 1 is sent.
Range: 50 to 1000 ms.
Factory default is 250 ms
Post-Tx Post-Transmission Period
The time after the last character is sent before PTT is negated.
During this time a logic 1 is sent.
Range: 0 to 1000 ms.
Factory default is 35 ms
Transmission Mode
This field can be used to test the radio transmitter.
Tx NORMAL Tx NORMAL means that the protocol handler controls the radio for
normal IEC870 transmissions.
Tx TEST Tx TEST means that the protocol handler will send continuous text
strings of “TX TEST”. This string is transmitted as an asynchronous
message with 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, 1 start bit format.
Range: Tx NORMAL, Tx TEST
Factory default is Tx NORMAL.
BUSY Signal Status
The status of the BUSY signal into the controller (Display only)
Busy Idle “BUSY Idle” indicates that the signal is in the ‘not BUSY’ state.
“BUSY Asserted” indicates that the signal is in the ‘BUSY’ state. This
Busy Asserted usually means that the radio squelch has opened.
Range: Busy Idle, Busy Asserted
Busy Signal Usage
Busy Disabled The “Busy Disabled” mode is used when there is no busy signal
available. Eg A twisted pair link. When set to this mode, the protocol
uses any received data to build a IEC870 packet. The protocol is able to
transmit at any time.
The “Busy Enabled” mode is the normal operating mode for radio
Busy Enabled systems that have a busy signal available. When set to this mode, the
protocol will only read data and build IEC870 messages when busy is
asserted. In addition, the protocol will not transmit when busy is asserted.
This reduces clashes with voice users.
Range: Busy Disabled, Busy Enabled
Factory default is Busy Disabled
Polarity of Busy Signal
This field determines the polarity of the input signal from the radio (P10
Busy when input pin 6) that the controller uses as BUSY.
low “Busy when input low” means that a low input signal will assert BUSY.
Parameter Description
Busy when input “Busy when input high” means that a high input signal will assert
high BUSY.
Range: Busy when input low, Busy when input high.
Factory default is Busy when input low
Parity Communication parity
Determines the parity of the communication port.
The IEC 60870-5-101 specification requires that the parity be EVEN for
full compliance with its data integrity standard (Hamming distance = 4).
This parameter has been provided for compatibility with communication
systems that do not support parity.
Range: NONE, EVEN
Factory default is EVEN
Pre-amble Preamble Usage
ENABLED When ENABLED the protocol handler inserts a string of characters in
front of a message packet. The message frame is otherwise not affected.
Start of frame filtering at the master station will ensure identification of
the message. This parameter is sometimes required for modems to aid
DISABLED with their keying.
When DISABLED the protocol handler does not insert any preamble
characters.
Range: ENABLED, DISABLED
Factory default is DISABLED
First Char Preamble First Character
This is the first character to be transmitted as a preamble. The character
is specified by entering its ASCII code in hexadecimal format.
Range: is 0 to FF hexadecimal.
Factory default is 0x55
Repeat First Number of Preamble First Characters
This is the number of times the first character will be repeated as part of
the preamble.
Eg if all preamble settings are at default values then the preamble sent is
0x55, 0x55, 0x55, 0xFF
Range: 0 to 20.
Factory default is 3
Last Char Last Character of Preamble
This is the last char that will be sent as part of the preamble. The
character is specified by entering its ASCII code in hexadecimal format.
Range: is 0 to FF hexadecimal.
Factory default is 0xFF
If a busy signal is available then the “Busy Enabled” should be set. In this mode the polarity of the
busy signal must be correctly set to match the operation of the radio. This is done with the “Busy
when input high/low” parameter.
When “Busy Enabled” is selected and Busy is asserted the protocol handler will…
• Process all characters coming in on the receive line and attempt to decode these as Conitel packets.
This prevents attempting to process channel noise in the absence of radio carrier.
• Delay all transmissions until Busy is negated. This avoids clashes with other channel users.
4.4. Communication Statistics
The communication statistics give communication information, such as octets being sent and
received. The communication statistics page appears as below:
Statistic Description
Tx Count Transmission Message Count
The number of FT1.2 frames1 transmitted from this recloser into
the communication link.
Range: 0 to 99999
Rx Count Receive Message Count
The number of FT1.2 frames received by this recloser from the
communication link.
Range: 0 to 99999
Rx CRC Error Receive Message CRC Error Count
The number of FT1.2 frames received with a Checksum error
Range: 0 to 999
Rx Sync Error Receive Message Sync Error Count
The number of messages received that with unrecognised frame
type or second octet that is not correct for FT1.2 format.
Range: 0 to 999
Rx Frame TO Err Receive Message Frame Timeout Error Count
The number of times that the total receive time, Frame TO, for the
frame is exceeded
Range: 0 to 999
All of the above counters are zeroed when the protocol handler is reset or the reset all button is
selected in Windows SOS. Any field can be cleared individually via the control operator panel by
selecting it and pressing either the left or right keys.
All communication statistic parameters are not password protected.

All IEC 60870-5-101 data link messages are transmitted with FT1.2 format frames.
5. Dial Out
5.1. Overview
When the protocol hander determines that it has change of state events to be reported to the master
station then it dials the master using a Hayes compatible phone modem. The controller uses a list of
up to ten (10) telephone numbers. If it fails to establish communication via one number then it tries
the next number on its list. The list is configured via WSOS only.
5.2. Details
5.2.1. Event Buffering
The protocol handler monitors its change of state (Class 1) events buffer. If it detects that one or
more change of state event(s) are buffered, and one of the follow conditions are true, then a dial out
sequence is initiated:-
• The ‘Class 1’ notification count is greater than or equal to the count threshold, OR
• The ‘Class 1’ notification delay timer has expired
If the master station establishes communications with the controller whilst there are events buffered
and one of the above conditions are not true, or while the controller attempting to establish
communications, then the dial out sequence is aborted.
5.2.2. Dial Out Modem Support
A compatible modem with dialing / auto answer capability is connected to port P8 for remote dial
out access using 101. The protocol uses dialing modem support mode if the dial out field on page
‘IEC870-101 Dial Out’ can be seen on the controllers’ panel status pages.
The protocol handler uses the state of the DCD input from the modem to determine the modem’s
status. If DCD is asserted then the modem is online. If DCD is negated the modem is considered
offline.
The modem must be setup to auto answer any call. It should not return results codes nor echo
commands.
When the protocol determines a connection to the master is required it will first check if the modem
is currently offline. If the modem is offline the controller will dial the master station. If the modem
is already online then the dial out sequence is not triggered.
To connect to the master station the controller issues a Hayes “ATDT” command followed by the
currently active phone number (refer:5.3.2 WSOS), to the modem. The controller will then wait up
to 90 seconds for the modem to assert the DCD line. If the modem fails to assert the DCD line
within 90 seconds then the dial out attempt is aborted, the next configured phone number is selected
and another attempt to dial out using a Hayes “ATDT” command is made.
If the DCD line is asserted or all numbers in the phone list have been dialed then this is counted as
a valid dial out attempt. However if the Class 1 buffers are not cleared (e.g. due to RTU “Out of
Service”), then the next dial out attempt will begin after “Retry Delay” seconds. This will happen
no more than “Max Retries” times.
When the modem is online the protocol handler will examine the data being received and decode it
as 101 packets.
After successful communications (i.e. a phone link has been established) the protocol handler will
hang up the modem after a delay of 30 seconds with no valid 101 packet(s) received or transmitted.
The active phone number is reset to head of the list.
If the Class 1 buffers are not emptied before the modem hang up then whole connection process
will begin again (i.e. Class1 delay, then step through the dial list).
The controller will then check to ensure the modem has negated the DCD line.
If this sequence fails to disconnect the line, or an unsuccessful attempt is made to establish a
connection on all configured phone numbers, the protocol handler will turn the radio power supply
(AUX+) off for 1 minute to disconnect power from the modem and reset it.
If after radio power reset, the dial out sequence trigger conditions exist, then a new sequence is
initiated.
5.3. Configuration
5.3.1. OCPM
The protocol handler configuration screens will have a single addition screen as described below:
Setting Description
PSTN Dial Out Usage
Dial Out If this field is set to ‘Dial Out DISABLED’ then the protocol handler will
DISABLED not attempt to dial out. The top right hand field is blank.
If this field is set to ‘Dial Out Number’ then the PSTN number that the
Dial Out Number protocol handler will call when it next needs to be polled by the master is
Note 1 displayed in the top right hand field. If a calling sequence is in progress
then the number currently being attempted will be displayed. The number
field automatically updates to the next configured number if a dial out
attempt fails.
Changing this parameter will cause the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol
handler task to perform a warm restart. This will mean a re-initialisation
of all communication parameters such as FCB. A temporary loss of
communications with the master station may occur. Also, any queued
events will be deleted.
Note: phone numbers are only configurable via WSOS.
Factory default is Dial Out DISABLED with default number field blank
C1 Count Class 1 Notification Count Threshold
The number of change of state events that must occur in Class 1 before
an ‘instantaneous’ dial out sequence is triggered. (Also refer to “C1
Delay” below).
Range: 1 to 255
Factory default is 3 event.
C1 Delay Class 1 Notification Delay
The time to wait after a single “Class 1” change of state event before
triggering a dial out sequence. (Also refer to “C1 Count” above).
Range: 1 to 86400 seconds
Factory default is 5s.
C1 Buffered Class 1 Buffered Events
Setting Description
The number of queued change of state events in the class 1 buffer.

setting is ignored.
Parameter Description
Retry Delay Retry Delay
Delay before next connection attempt.
An attempt ends after either the DCD line is asserted, or all numbers in
the phone list have been dialled.
The time between dialling PSTN numbers in the list is fixed at 90sec
(wait time for DCD). There is an additional 60sec delay if the end of the
phone list is reached.
This retry delay is in addition to the above times.
Range: 0 to 86400 sec.
Factory default is 30 sec.
Max Retries Maximum Retries
The maximum number of ‘retry connection’ attempts.
There will be no more connection attempts from the controller once this
limit is reached.
The dial out capability is re-enabled when the class 1 event buffers are
cleared.
Note: The first number in the list will be the first number dialled the next
time class 1 events are buffered.
Range: 0 to 255
Factory default is 3.
Attempt Count Attempt Count
The amount of attempts to connect to the master station.
An attempt will call each of the PSTN numbers in the list until a
connection is established.
An attempt ends after either the DCD line is asserted, or all numbers in
the phone list have been dialled.
This is reset to zero when the class 1 event buffers are cleared.
Note: The first attempt is not a retry, but the second attempt is the first
retry.
This does not indicate the number of phone calls made.
(Display Only)
Range: 0 to 256

To support the controllers Dial Out feature the master station needs a custom modem driver and
polling method. This is because the IEC 60870-5-101 (unbalanced mode) does not permit the slave
(controller) to initiate message transmissions. It is the master station’s responsibility to determine
which slave created the PSTN link. Below are four suggested methods:
• Each slave has a unique phone number and so the master can identify the controller using Caller
ID + a phone number/controller address look up table. This method is useful if extra verification
and authorisation considerations are required. However, it is limited only to those phone
systems that reliably support Caller ID.
• The communication system is set up in such a way that only a predetermined set of controllers
will call on a single modem. When the master station detects a PSTN connection it can poll all
known slaves in the set applicable to that modem until it gets a response.
• The master sends a general interrogation request with broadcast common/station address 65535
after a controller establishes a PSTN connection. Note: this method requires IEC 60870-5-101
Addendum 2 compliance.
• All ACR devices on a particular dial-up link have the same IEC Link address and that each
ACR device would have a unique common/station address. The communication messaging is as
follows:
Slave: Entries to class 1 event buffer trigger a dial out sequence
Master: Sends a poll for Class 2 data with the link address for this dial-up port
Slave: Responds with a fixed length NACK or with class 2 data. In either case
the ACD bit will be set because their is data in the Class 1 buffer
Master: Sends a poll for Class 1 data (as ACD bit was set)
Slave: Responds with Class 1 data (including Common/Station
Address). This
allows master to identify individual slave device.
Master: Continues normal polling sequence until all change data is
retrieved and
configurable number of additional polls are sent. Then master hangs up.
When the ‘Dial Out’ feature is enabled under ‘Balanced’ mode, the protocol handler
implementation remains fully compatible with the IEC standard. Section (5 Dial Out) is applicable
with the exception of the section (5.4 Master Station Considerations Unbalanced Mode), i.e. when
the ‘Class 1’ (Refer: 5.2.1 Event Buffering) notification thresholds are exceeded the controller
initiates a PTSN modem connection and the slave protocol handler transmits the message(s) as
prescribed by the IEC standard.
Initialisation Time
The protocol handler will not respond to master station requests for several seconds after power up
while it waits for the controller to be initialised and for high priority boot up tasks to be completed.
Turnaround Time
The turnaround time for the protocol, from the end of receiving a message until the start of the pre-
transmission time, is typically < 30 milliseconds with a range of 5 to 100 milliseconds.
Latency of Data
The protocol task examines the real-time database every 500 milliseconds to see if anything has
changed and to construct the underlying protocol database which is sent to the master station. This
introduces a delay between the actual event and updating the protocol database of up to 500
milliseconds. This is the data latency.

Protection Trip Operation Flags
This group of points indicates what happened in the last protection sequence. For example the recloser may have
tripped, closed, tripped again and locked out. Or it may have tripped, closed and stayed closed because the fault was
cleared.
In both cases the flags below are set to show the causes of the trips and whether the lockout state has been reached
or not.
A set of flags is available for each trip in a protection sequence.
In addition analogue data is available which shows the fault currents which occurred during the sequence and the
number of trips which took place (refer Appendix H)
Note that a sequence starts when there is a protection trip or a sequence advance.
Most of these flags are cleared either by protocol command or when the switchgear is tripped/closed by the operator
or when a new protection sequence starts.
This data is volatile i.e. it is zeroed on controller software reset.

• “Reset Fault Flags and Currents” protocol control command
• Any Operator Close action
• Controller reset (data is volatile)

Protection Sequence Data
These analogue points record data about the protection sequence including maximum fault currents. These
are derived from the max current events that are seen in the Operator Control Panel event record and
record the current for each phase and for earth/ground.
For any one protection trip or sequence advance more than one fault current can be set. For example a
Phase/Phase fault might set an A-Phase current and a B-Phase current.
Other data recorded includes the number of trips in the protection sequence and the Protection Group that
was active at the time of the protection operation.
Data is cleared to zero by the following actions:-
• “Reset Fault Current” remote control command defined below
• Any Operator Close or Trip action
• Start of a new sequence.
• Controller software reset (data is volatile)

1. This accumulates the total kWH flowing through the ACR.
If the controller is set for Power Flow Unidirectional then the cumulative total increases irrespective of the
direction of power flow to show the total power that has passed through the device.
If the controller is set to Bi-Directional power flow then the cumulative total can increase or decrease reflecting the
net power flow.
2. The power flow direction (source/load designation) is determined by the user. Refer to Power Flow Direction
Binary Input for status and Binary Output for control.

Note:
The protocol handler response message to a binary output command will indicate successful passing of commands to
the controller. It does not necessarily follow that the action has been taken. Control logic within the controller may
override the request. All binary outputs have corresponding binary input feedback indications. The SCADA system
should use the relevant binary input as a confirmation of the success or failure of a command.

Note:
1. This accumulates the total kWH flowing through the ACR.
If the controller is set for Power Flow Unidirectional then the cumulative total increases irrespective of the
direction of power flow to show the total power that has passed through the device.
If the controller is set to Bi-Directional power flow then the cumulative total can increase or decrease reflecting the
nett power flow.
2. The power flow direction (source/load designation) is determined by the user. Refer to Power Flow Direction
Binary Input for status and Binary Output for control.
