  • Page 31: Iec-104 Application Settings

    The IEC-104 is intended for packet-switched TCP/IP communication whereas the IEC-101 is intended for serial communication. By using the Arctic IEC-104 gateway the IEC-101 slaves (e.g. RTUs) can be connected to a IEC-104 master (e.g. SCADA). The Arctic requests events from the IEC-101 slave locally and sends them to the IEC-104 master.
