Communications partners (DNP3 masters) of the RTU can be:
– SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl
– SIMATIC WinCC TeleControl
– A TIM module with DNP3 capability (TIM 3V IE DNP3 / TIM 4R IE DNP3)
– Third-party systems that support the DNP3 specification named above.
● IEC 60870-5
The RTU functions as a substation (slave).
Communication is based on the specification IEC 60870-5 Part 104 (2006).
Communications partners of the RTU can be all master systems that support the
specification named above.
Along with the IEC protocol, the RTU uses the security mechanisms of "OpenVPN", see
section Security functions for communication (Page 28).
You will find a detailed overview of the attributes and properties specified in the IEC
specification and supported by the RTU in the IEC device profile, see /3/ (Page 296).
You will find the supported IEC type identifiers as in the section Data points (Page 183).
When it ships, the RTU is loaded with the firmware variant for the "TeleControl Basic"
protocol.
Firmware for the protocols DNP3, IEC and ST7
To use these telecontrol protocols, you need to load the corresponding firmware variant on
the RTU.
You can obtain the suitable firmware file from Siemens Industry Online Support:
● Link: (http://www.automation.siemens.com/aspa_app/)
Here, you will find a contact.
● Link: (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/21766/dl)
With this page, you can download the firmware.
The firmware version for the "TeleControl Basic" protocol loaded when the device was
delivered is then overwritten.
For information on loading firmware files, see section Loading firmware (Page 257).
