2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
IEC 870-5-103 is a companion standard to IEC 870-5 suit of standards for transmission protocols. It defines messages and
procedures for interoperability between protection equipment and devices of a control system in a substation for communi-
cating on a serial line.
The IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit serial communication, exchanging information
with a control system. In the context of this protocol, the protection equipment is the slave and the control system is the
master. The communication is based on a point to point principle. The master must be able to interpret the IEC 60870-5-
103 communication messages.
The UR implementation of IEC 60870-5-103 consists of the following functions:
•
Report binary inputs
•
Report analog values (measurands)
•
Commands
•
Time synchronization
The RS485 port supports IEC 60870-5-103.
