28. IEC 60870-5 – Protocol Specific
Most test set operations are independent of the specific protocol being used and are described
in the non-protocol specific topics. The most common protocol specific activity is defining the
message structure for a particular RTU. This involves defining the number and types of points
(analog, digital, and accumulator) configured in the device (RTU, IED) under test. This information
enables the test set to issue the proper data scan request and to parse and correctly display
information in data response messages. The following sections will describe the protocol specific
considerations, if any, for Task and Exchange operational modes and, within those modes, any
communication mode (Line Monitor, Master Simulation, and RTU Simulation) protocol specific
considerations.
28.1. IEC 60870-5 – Exchange Properties Menu
This Exchange Properties Menu is only available when in Exchange Mode and provides the
ability to change message processing options. This menu is requested by selecting first an
Exchange, then the Edit pull-down list, and Edit Exchange Properties option. It is also possible
to request this menu by double-clicking on the rectangle at the left edge of the exchange.
Following is a sample Edit Properties Menu generated from either of these actions.
