1.3 Setting Debug and Port 0 Configuration Jumpers

The Debug Port operates in RS232 mode only on Series C gateways. No
jumpers are provided for the Debug Port on them.
Before mounting the gateway on the DIN-rail, you must set a jumper for
application Port 0 to select RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 mode. The port is set at
the factory for RS-232 mode. Verify correct jumper setting before startup to
minimize problems.

Note: Series A gateways have active jumpers for both the Debug and application Port 0.

The following diagram details the jumper position for the ProLinx 5000/6000
series gateways.

1.6.3 Quick Start

Step 1: Configure the Number of Slaves (Sessions)

The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is a master-slave protocol where the slaves are
typically protection equipments for substations. The 5105-103M-PDPS module
supports a total 16 slaves (sessions) connected to the module's two application
ports.

Note: The actual number of available sessions (slaves) will depend on the total number of
sessions and sectors (configured. The recommended maximum number of sessions is sixteen.

In the example above, the module will only poll sessions 0 to 4. The module
would not poll sessions 5 to 31.
In Step 3, you will configure each session as an actual slave in the network.

IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway User Manual

Step 2: Configure the Port Communication Parameters

The user should configure the port communication parameters in order to enable
data transfer between the master and the slave(s). The port communication
parameters include baud rate, parity, RTS ON, RTS OFF, and Minimum Delay.
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol uses two baud rates: 19200 or 9600 kb/s and
even parity.
Refer to the [IEC-870-5-103 Master Port 0] section in the configuration file in
order to configure the communication parameters for the 103M port:

You must also configure the port jumpers to select the correct communication
mode: RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.

User Manual IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway

Step 3: Configure the Session (Slave) Poll Parameters

According to the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol, the master cyclically polls data from
the slaves. The data is classified as Class 1 or Class 2. Events belong to Class
1, and analog data to Class 2. The module can request data through Class 1 or
Class 2 requests. Responses to control command and general interrogation
commands are also sent as Class 1 data.
Refer to the [IEC-103 Master Session x] section in the configuration file in order
to configure how each slave will be polled.
These parameters include the Data Link Address, which is the slave address that
identifies each piece of protection equipment in the network. There should be a
unique number for each slave in the network. There are also certain parameters
that pertain to how the Class 1 and Class 2 polls will be used for data transfer.
You must enter the number of sectors for each session using the Sector Count
parameter. The module accepts up to five sectors per session.

Note: Actual number of available sectors per session will depend on the total number of sessions
and sectors configured. The recommended maximum number of sectors is three.

IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway User Manual

Repeat this step for each session. For example, if you configured 5 sessions
during Step 1, configure Sessions 0 to 4.

User Manual IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway

Step 4: Sector (Data Set) Configuration

For each session (slave), you must configure one or more sectors. A sector is a
data set defined by the vendor. Each sector is identified by the Common ASDU
Address parameter in the [IEC-103 Master Session x Sector 0] area in the
configuration. This area also contains some parameters that will affect the
module initialization procedure.

Note: The actual number of available sectors per session will depend on the total number of
sessions and sectors configured. The recommended maximum number of sectors is three.

Repeat this step for each sector used by the application. The module will only
use the sectors configured in the previous step.

IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway User Manual

Step 5: Monitor Point Configuration (Monitor Direction)

When a slave receives a Class 1 or Class 2 request from the master, it responds
with a message containing data. Each piece of equipment is normally configured
to respond with specific points when it is being polled with a Class 2 request.
During a Class 2 response, the slave may set a control bit (ACD) to inform the
master that there are new events to be transmitted. Then, the master will send a
Class 1 poll to read the events from the slave.
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol states that the data is transferred between the
master and slave using an ASDU (Application Service Data Unit) format. Each
format is given by:
Type Identification
Variable Structure Qualifier
Cause Of Transmission
Common Address of ASDU
Function Type
Information Number
Data…
Data…
…
Refer to the protection equipment specification for the following information about
each point:

Type: Type of the message

Function Type: Type of protection function

Information Number: Point Identification
This information identifies each point in the configuration. You must configure the
points that will be updated in the module database when a Class 2 or Class 1
response containing data is sent from the slave. Refer to [IEC-103 MASTER
SESSION X SECTOR 0] to configure each point.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 25 of 144

November 24, 2010
Start Here 5105-103M-PDPS ♦ ProLinx Gateway
User Manual IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway

For each point, configure the following values.

ASDU Type: ASDU type for the point

Function Type: Function type for the point
Point Index: Information number for the point
Database Index: The module database location where the value will be copied.
The type of addressing will depend on the ASDU type:
ASDU Type DB Addressing
1 Bit address with each point occupying 2 bits
2 Bit address with each point occupying 2 bits
3 Word address with each point occupying 4 words
4 Double-word address for the single float value
5 Byte address with each point occupying 12 bytes
9 Word address with each point occupying 9 words
For example, to configure the following points,

Time-tagged message point with information number 17 (teleprotection
active) and distance protection function (128). The value will be copied to bits
0 and 1 in word 1 (second word) in the module database.

Measurands I point with information number 144 (measurands I) and
overcurrent protection function (160). The value will be copied to word 50 in
the module Database.

IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway User Manual

Use the following configuration.

Every time the module responds with a Class 1 or Class 2 poll with these points,
the module will copy the value to the database.
All the points configured in this section are sent from the slave to the master. The
protocol specification refers to this data flow as the Monitor Direction.
Repeat this step for each sector.

User Manual IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway

Step 6: Command Configuration (Control Direction)

You can also configure the master to send commands to slaves. The IEC 60870-
5-103 protocol specification refers to this data flow as Control Direction. The
commands include general commands, interrogation requests, and time
synchronization requests. In order to configure a command, refer to the [IEC-103
Master Commands] section:

To send a General Command, you can associate the source data with a register
in the module database to be sent to the remote slave. The following example
will send 8 commands to the slave configured as Session 0/Sector 0. Use bit
addressing to send a General Command.

Refer to the device specification for the Point Index (Information Number) listing
available for control direction.
The module can also send a periodic General Interrogation command in order to
initialize and refresh the event-updated points in its database. The slave keeps a
list of all data subject to General Interrogation.

1.7 103M Protocol Configuration

The following is excerpted from a configuration file showing typical examples
used for configuration of the 103M driver. A default configuration file for each
module application that includes the 103M interface card is available for
download from the www.prosoft-technology.com web site. This default
configuration can easily form the basis for a working solution. This file can either
be downloaded from the ProSoft web site at www.prosoft-technology.com, or
transferred from the module.
The configuration file contains the following topics:
[Section] Description
[IEC-870-5-103 Master] General configuration for the driver.
[IEC-870-5-103 Master Port n] Configuration for one of the application ports.
[IEC-103 Master Session x] Definition of each control unit.
[IEC-103 Master Session x Sector y] Definition for each sector in the controlled unit.
[IEC-103 Master Commands] Command list to control slave units.

1.7.1 [IEC-103 Master Commands]

This section can contain up to 1000 user defined commands to be executed by
the module and sent to the controlled devices. There is no need to place Class 1
or Class 2 polls in this list for the controlled devices as the master driver for each
port will execute these automatically when the port is idle. In order for the port to
be idle, make sure that there is idle time available, and that the commands do not
constantly utilize the ports.

1.8 PDPS Protocol Configuration

The following illustration from ProSoft Configuration Builder shows the
PROFIBUS Slave configuration for a ProLinx PDPS module.

1.8.1 [PROFIBUS SLAVE]

The PROFIBUS Slave section contains the data that applies to the PROFIBUS
Slave parameters.

Slave Address
0 to 125
The parameter specifies the node address on the PROFIBUS network for the
slave emulated in the module. Each node on the network must have a unique
address.

Note: Although valid PROFIBUS Node addresses range from 0 to 125, Node 0 is not a valid node
number for a Slave module and that Nodes 0, 1, and 2 are usually reserved for PROFIBUS
Masters. Users are advised to use Node numbers 3-125

Swap Input Bytes

Yes or No
This parameter specifies if the data in the input data area of the module is to be
byte swapped. If the order of the bytes in the words stored in the database is not
correct, use this option. A value of Yes causes the module’s program to swap the
bytes in each word. A value of No indicates no byte swapping will occur.

Swap Output Bytes

Yes or No
This parameter specifies if the data in the output data area of the module is to be
byte swapped. If the order of the bytes in the words stored in the database is not
correct, use this option. A value of Yes causes the module’s program to swap the
bytes in each word. A value of No indicates no byte swapping will occur.

Comm Failure Mode

No xfer on fail
Xfer on comm fail
This parameter sets the data transfer mode of the module's PROFIBUS output
image to the internal database when a communication failure on the PROFIBUS
interface is detected. If the parameter is set to "No xfer on fail", the output image
will continue to be transferred. If the parameter is set to "xfer on comm fail", the
output image will not be transferred and the last values will be retained.

Comm Timeout Multiplier

1 to 10
This parameter sets the communication timeout value for the module. The value
entered is multiplied by 125 milliseconds to determine the actual timeout value.
For example, a value of 1 specifies a communication timeout of 125 milliseconds.

Use Database Paging

Yes or No
This Parameter Enables or disables user access to the PDPS’s Database area
outside the section reserved for the PROFIBUS Protocol in the range of Word
400 to Word 3999.

1.9 Using the CommonNet Data Map

The Data Map section allows you to copy data between areas in the gateway's
internal database.
You can copy a maximum of 100 registers per Data Map command, and you can
configure a maximum of 200 separate copy commands.
You can copy data from the error or status tables in upper memory to internal
database registers in the User Data memory area.
You can rearrange the byte and/or word order during the copy process. For
example, by rearranging byte or word order, you can convert floating-point values
to the correct format for a different protocol.
You can also use the Data Map to condense widely dispersed data into one
contiguous data block, making it easier to access.

1.9.1 From Address

0 to highest Status Data address
This field specifies the beginning internal database register address for the copy
operation. This address can be any valid address in the User Data Area or the
Status Data Area of the gateway.

1.9.2 To Address
0 to 3999
This parameter specifies the beginning destination register address for the copy
operation. This address must always be within the User Data registers area.
Take care to specify a destination address that will not overwrite data that has
been stored in memory by one of the communication protocols running on the
gateway.

1.9.3 Register Count

1 to 100
This parameter specifies the number of registers to copy.

1.9.4 Swap Code

NO CHANGE, WORD SWAP, WORD AND BYTE SWAP, BYTE SWAP
You may need to swap the order of the bytes in the registers during the copy
process in order to change the alignment of bytes between dissimilar protocols.
This parameter is helpful when dealing with floating-point or other multi-register
values, as there is no standard method of storage of these data types in slave
devices.
The following table defines the values and their associated operations:

Swap Code Description

No Swap No change is made in the byte ordering (1234 = 1234)
Word Swap The words are swapped (1234=3412)
Word and The words are swapped, then the bytes in each word are swapped (1234=4321)
Byte Swap

1.9.5 Delay Preset

This parameter sets an interval for each Data Map copy operation. The value you
put for the Delay Preset is not a fixed amount of time. It is the number of firmware
scans that must transpire between copy operations.
The firmware scan cycle can take a variable amount of time, depending on the
level of activity of the protocol drivers running on the ProLinx gateway and the
level of activity on the gateway's communication ports. Each firmware scan can
take from 1 to several milliseconds to complete. Therefore, Data Map copy
operations cannot be expected to happen at regular intervals.
If multiple copy operations (several rows in the Data map section) happen too
frequently or all happen in the same update interval, they could delay the process
scan of the gateway protocols, which could result in slow data updates or missed
data on communication ports. To avoid these potential problems, you should set
the Delay Preset to different values for each row in the Data Map section and set
them to higher, rather than lower, numbers.
For example, Delay Preset values below 1000 could begin to cause a noticeable
delay in data updates through the communication ports. And you should not set
all Delay Presets to the same value. Instead, use different values for each row in
the Data Map such as 1000, 1001, and 1002 or any other different Delay Preset
values you like. This will prevent the copies from happening concurrently and
prevent possible process scan delays.

2.1 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) for Diagnostics

The Configuration and Debug menu for this gateway is arranged as a tree
structure, with the Main menu at the top of the tree, and one or more submenus
for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the
gateway is the Main menu.
Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the
[command letter] from your computer keyboard in the Diagnostic window in
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). The gateway does not respond to mouse
movements or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the
[COMMAND LETTER] — you do not need to press [ENTER]. When you type a
[COMMAND LETTER], a new screen will be displayed in your terminal application.

2.1.1 Required Hardware

You can connect directly from your computer’s serial port to the serial port on the
gateway to view configuration information, perform maintenance, and send or
receive configuration files.
ProSoft Technology recommends the following minimum hardware to connect
your computer to the gateway:

80486 based processor (Pentium preferred)

1 megabyte of memory

At least one UART hardware-based serial communications port available.
USB-based virtual UART systems (USB to serial port adapters) often do not
function reliably, especially during binary file transfers, such as when
uploading/downloading configuration files or gateway firmware upgrades.

The SPC3 is able to identify the baud rate automatically. The "baud search" state
is located after each RESET and also after the watchdog (WD) timer has run out
in the "Baud_Control_state." As a rule, SPC3 begins the search for the set rate
with the highest baud rate. If no SD1 telegram, SD2 telegram, or SD3 telegram
was received completely and without errors during the monitoring time, the
search continues with the next lowest baud rate.
After identifying the correct baud rate, SPC3 switches to the "Baud_Control"
state and monitors the baud rate. The monitoring time can be parameterized
(WD_Baud_Control_Val). The watchdog works with a clock of 100 Hz (10
milliseconds). The watchdog resets each telegram received with no errors to its
own station address. If the timer runs out, SPC3 again switches to the baud
search state.

Baud Rate Monitoring

The located baud rate is constantly monitored in "Baud_Control." The watchdog
is reset for each error-free telegram to its own station address. The monitoring
time results from multiplying both "WD_Baud_Control_Val" (user sets the
parameters) by the time base (10 ms). If the timer expires, WD_SM again goes
to "Baud_Search". If the user carries out the DP protocol (DP_Mode = 1, see
Mode register 0) with SPC3, the watchdog is used for the "DP_Control" state,
after a "Set_Param telegram" was received with an enabled response time
monitoring "WD_On = 1." The watchdog timer remains in the baud rate
monitoring state when there is a switched off "WD_On = 0" master monitoring.
The PROFIBUS DP state machine is also not reset when the timer runs out. That
is, the slave remains in the DATA_Exchange state, for example.

Response Time Monitoring

The 'DP_Control' state serves response time monitoring of the DP master
(Master_Add). The set monitoring times results from multiplying both watchdog
factors and multiplying the result with the momentarily valid time base (1 ms or
10 ms):

TWD = (1 ms or 10 ms) * WD_Fact_1 * WD_Fact_2 (See byte 7 of the
parameter setting telegram)
The user can load the two watchdog factors (WD_Fact_1, and WD_Fact_2) and
the time base that represents a measurement for the monitoring time via the
’Set_Param telegram' with any value between 1 and 255.
EXCEPTION: The WD_Fact_1=WD_Fact_2=1 setting is not permissible. The
circuit does not check this setting.
Monitoring times between 2 ms and 650 s - independent of the baud rate - can
be implemented with the permissible watchdog factors. If the monitoring time
runs out, the SPC3 goes again to 'Baud_Control,' and the SPC3 generates the
'WD_DP_Control_Timeout-Interrupt'. In addition, the DP_State machine is reset,
that is, generates the reset states of the buffer management.
If another master accepts SPC3, then there is either a switch to 'Baud_Control"
(WD_On = 0), or there is a delay in 'DP_Control' (WD_On = 1), depending on the
enabled response time monitoring (WD_On = 0).

From this menu, you can select the "Port", the "format", and the "ticks" that you
can display the data in.
For most applications, HEX is the best format to view the data, and this does
include ASCII based messages (because some characters will not display on
HyperTerminal and by capturing the data in HEX, we can figure out what the
corresponding ASCII characters are supposed to be).
The Tick value is a timing mark. The module will print a _TT for every xx
milliseconds of no data on the line. Usually 10milliseconds is the best value to
start with.

Troubleshooting the operation of the IEC Master port can be performed using
several methods.
The first and quickest is to scan the LEDs on the module to determine the
existence and possibly the cause of a problem. This section provides insight into
the operation of the Serial Port status LEDs. Information on the module’s other
LEDs can be found in the ProLinx Reference Guide.

2.15 Frequently Asked Questions

This section provides answers frequently asked questions about the ProLinx
103M module.

2.15.1 Why is the module not communicating with the slave?

First, ensure that the slave Data Link Address is configured as a slave (session)
in the configuration file. The module will only try to initialize slaves identified by
Data Link Addresses that are currently configured as sessions. Refer to technical
specification for your protection equipment for its Data Link Address. You should
also check to see if the common ASDU address is configured as a sector in the
module. Make sure all port communication parameters match the slave
parameters (baud rate, parity, and so on). Finally, look at the cables and ensure
that the correct communication mode is set (RS-232 or RS-495).

2.15.2 The slave is responding but I cannot see the monitor data in
the Module database.
Ensure that the monitor points are correctly configured. Refer to your protection
equipment’s documentation for the correct ASDU type, Function Code, and
Information Number. These values must match the parameters that are entered
for every monitor point in the [IEC-103 Master Session 0] section of the
configuration file.
The addressing type in the module database depends on the point ASDU type.
The Database Index parameter can be interpreted as bit, byte, word, or double-
word address. For more details, refer to Data Types and Mapping.

2.15.3 How can I confirm if the configuration was received by the

module?
You can verify this using the Debug menu. Refer to Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting in this manual for information on using the Debug menu.

3.1 Product Specifications

ProLinx Communication gateways are the ideal solution for bridging
communication between networks that use differing protocols. ProLinx gateways
provide several protocol combinations, allowing for a wide range of flexibility in
establishing a network, or fitting into and expanding your current infrastructure.
Coupled with ProSoft’s radio technology, you can easily integrate devices into
your system wirelessly, and without the need to purchase additional radios to do
so.

3.1.1 General Specifications - ProLinx

ProLinx® Communication gateways provide connectivity for two or more
dissimilar network types. The gateway, enclosed in sturdy extruded aluminum,
are stand-alone, DIN-rail-mounted solutions that provide data transfer between
many of today’s most widely used industrial automation protocols.

3.1.2 Internal Database

The ProLinx gateway contains an internal database that consists of areas for
application data, status information, and configuration information.
The internal database is shared between all ports on the gateway and is used as
a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more
devices on another network.

Application Data Area

The protocol drivers exchange data by storing and retrieving data from a shared
application memory data area. The database is used as a source for data to be
sent to remote devices and holds data received from the remote devices. For
protocol drivers that act as Masters or Clients, commands defined in the
configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to
be handled in the database. For protocol drivers that act as slaves or servers,
the remote Master or Client must be properly programmed to send data to or
request data from the correct memory addresses in the gateway application data
area.

Status Data Area

This area stores error codes, counters, and other status information.

Configuration File
This file contains gateway configuration information such as port configuration,
network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is
transferred to or from the gateway.

3.1.3 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a quick and easy way to manage
gateway configuration files customized to meet your application needs. PCB is
not only a powerful solution for new configuration files, but also allows you to
import information from previously installed (known working) configurations to
new projects.

Note: On all ProLinx gateways, data from the application port on the main board, serial Port 0, is
not buffered. Packets go directly to and from the serial chipset to the processor. This has the
potential to cause the serial communications to become erratic at baud rates above 38,400 baud.
ProLinx gateways with 4 serial ports have a separate serial interface board for serial Ports 1, 2,
and 3. These serial ports are buffered and can handle communications up to 115,200 baud.

3.2 Functional Overview

3.2.1 IEC 60870-5-103 Master Protocol Implementation

The following section describes the flow of data between the 103M module and
the IEC 60870-5-103 Master unit.

General Specifications
The 103M module acts as an input/output module between the IEC 60870-5-103
network and many of the other serial and network protocols, as well as several
proprietary interfaces. A 4000-word register space in the module exchanges data
between the two protocols.
General specifications include:

Built in accordance to the approved international specification

Support for the storage and transfer of up to 4000 registers between
protocols

User-definable module memory usage

Configuration via a user-generated text file (downloadable to the module)

Protocol implementation conforms to the IEC 60870-5-103 specification with
fully configurable parameters

Status Data Status data is returned in a block of counter values
allowing communications to be effectively debugged.
Conformance Specifications See Reference chapter for full Object Definition
document

Master Driver
The master driver supported on the application port of the module emulates an
IEC 60870-5-103 Master device.
The module communicates with one or more controlled stations on what are
referred to as sessions. A session represents a controlled device with a unique
data link layer address. Each session (controlled device) contains one data set
(sector) that is defined by the vendor of the device.

Note: The IEC 60870-5-103 specification only supports the unbalanced mode. No support is given
in the protocol for the balanced mode and the module does not support this mode.

Reference 5105-103M-PDPS ♦ ProLinx Gateway
User Manual IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway

Initialization
According to the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol, the Master should send a Reset FCB
(or Reset CU) request to all slaves on the network. The ProLinx 103M module
will only send the initialization requests to the Data Link Addresses that are
configured as sessions. Once the slave responds to the FCB request with an
ACK response, the master starts polling the slave. The master will continuously
send the Reset FCB request until it receives the ACK response.
The user may also configure the module to send time synchronization and
general interrogation requests once the slave has responded to the reset FGD
request. Refer to the configuration file for the initialization parameters.
If the slave is not responding to the initialization request, the user should verify
the following items in order to troubleshoot the configuration:
Verify that the slave address (Data Link Address) is configured as a session
(slave) in the module. For example, if the module has two sessions correctly
configured (Data Link Addresses 1 and 2), and the slave is configured with a
Data Link address of 3, the slave will not respond to the initialization request.

Verify that the communication port parameter matches the network
parameters.

Check cables

Verify that the communication mode jumpers (RS-232 or RS-485) are set
correctly.

Data Transfer in Monitor Direction

The master driver cyclically polls data from the slaves. The data is classified into
two classes; Class 1 and Class 2. Events belong to Class 1 and analog data to
Class 2. The user may configure the module to set how frequently the master will
poll with both classes.
The slave will respond to a Class 2 poll with specific data points. The user can
configure these points in the ProLinx module in order to periodically update the
database with the point values. The other protocol can access these points using
the same database.

Data Transfer in Control Direction

The ProLinx 103M module can be configured to issue commands to the
configured slaves (sessions). The General Command can be used to transfer
data from the module to each slave. The user may associate a control data point
with a register in the internal database using the configuration file. The module
may also send a time synchronization request to the device.
The module supports up to 500 commands. Each command is associated with a
configured session and server. It is essential that the slave is correctly configured
in order to have successful command communication.

103M Data Types

This section describes the databases used by the module to support the IEC
60870-5-103 protocol of the IEC 60870-5-103 data types. Refer to the
configuration section for a complete discussion of the configuration file.
The following table summarizes the data types:

103M Driver Error and Status Data

The second and most thorough troubleshooting method for debugging the
operation of the 103M driver (and the module in general) is the powerful Debug
port on the module which provides much more complete access to the internal
operation and status of the module. Accessing the Debug capabilities of the
module can be accomplished by connecting a PC to the Debug port using
HyperTerminal or some other terminal emulation program.

Slave Error and Status

The 103M Driver Error and Status Data areas are discussed in this section. This
data represents a collection of status, diagnostic and troubleshooting registers
which may prove helpful in troubleshooting the 103M network and port operation.
The data map functionality of the module must be utilized in order to map this
data into the normal module database region (0 to 3999). All or any portion of the
data can be moved using this facility.
The data area is initialized with zeros whenever the module is initialized. This
occurs during a cold-start (power-on), reset (reset push-button pressed) or a
warm-boot operation (commanded or loading of new configuration).
In order to read the sector area into the module database, refer to the Remap
section in the configuration file in order to remap the sector area from address
14000 to any address in the database.

Note: All commands should be mapped separately and not grouped together

3.2.2 PDPS Protocol Implementation

Module Internal Database

The internal database is central to the functionality of the module. This database
is shared between all the ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass
information from one device on one network to one or more devices on another
network. This permits data from devices on one communication port/network to
be viewed and controlled by devices on another port/network. In addition to data
from the slave port, status and error information generated by the module can
also be mapped into the internal database.

User Manual IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway

PROFIBUS Slave Port Access to Database

The Slave driver uses the database in two ways:
1 A read command issued to a slave device by the slave driver will return the
slave data into the internal database.
2 A write command issued to a slave device by the slave driver uses the data in
the internal database to write to the slave device
Besides the standard PROFIBUS interface reserved Database range from word
0 to word 399, the PDPS driver recognizes a special command code in the
PROFIBUS protocol that causes the PDPS driver to write to, or read from the
Database range word 400 to word 3999. This feature opens up to the user the
whole capacity of the PDPS module’s Database.
To use the Database Paging functionality in the PDPS driver the following three
items must be implemented.
1 Enable the paging feature in the PDPS module’s configuration file under the
[Profibus Slave] section, set Use Database Paging : Y.
2 In PROFIBUS Master module’s configuration the PROFIBUS Slave must be
set to 100 Input Words and 100 Output Words.
3 In the PLC Program create an array of 200 bytes. The contents of the array
are described in the Mailbox Command and Mailbox Structure tables.

PROFIBUS DP Architecture
The PDPS network supports multiple Master systems with several slaves.
The following table shows the most important features of PDPS:
Standard EIN 501 70
DIN 19245
Transmission Equipment EIA RS-485
(Physical) IEC 1158-2 (through link or coupler)
Fiber Optic Cable (not available)
Transfer Procedure Half-duplex
Bus Topology Linear bus with active bus termination
Bus Cable Type Shielded twisted pair conductors
Connector 9-pin D-Sub
Number of nodes on the bus Max: 32 with no repeaters
Max: 125 with 3 repeaters in 4 segments

IEC 60870-5-103 Master to PROFIBUS Slave Gateway User Manual

Bus Access
Two different bus access procedures handle the various communication
requirements for the PDPS topology:

Token Passing

Polling
Token Passing
Token passing ring is the basis for communication between the more complex,
active stations. All stations have the same rights in that a token is passed from
station to station in a logical ring. The token is passed to each station with a
maximum, definable token cycle time. A station is given transmission rights for
the duration of time that it has the token.

Master/Slave Polling
Master/Slave polling guarantees a cyclic, real-time based data exchange
between the station with transmission rights, the active station, and its
subordinates, the passive stations. In this case, the Master is able to pass data to
the slave and/or receive data. The services in layer 2 (field-bus data link in ISO-
OSI reference model) organize this communication.

Communication Types
In addition to point-to-point data transfer, the PROFIBUS protocol can also
handle the following types of communication:

Broadcast communication: An active node sends an unacknowledged
message to all other nodes (Master and slaves)

Multicast communication (control instructions): An active node sends an
unacknowledged message to a group of nodes (Master and Slaves).
Master/Slave Communication Phases
The communication between the Master and the Slaves takes place in the
following phases:

Parameterization and configuration phase

Usable data transfer phase
Before a DP Slave can be integrated into the usable data transfer phase, the
parameterization and configuration phase runs a device identification test that
verifies that the planned configuration matches the actual device configuration for
each slave in the PROFIBUS network. The test verifies that:

the device is actually there

it is the right type of device

the station address set on the device matches the station address in the bus
configuration

the formats, telegram length information, and bus parameters are correct
and

the number of configured inputs and outputs is correct.

Pass-Through
The pass-through features allows you to page through the ProLinx data 4000
registers over the Profibus network, using mailbox commands. You can also use
mailbox commands to set and get time, and pass events. The following topics
describe the mailbox commands.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For these blocks to function properly over the Profibus network, the slave
must be configured for 100 words of input and 100 words of output, and the Pass-Through Events
parameter must be enabled in the configuration file, as shown in the following example.
Pass-Through Events : Y # Pass event messages through Profibus Interface
# (Y/N (N=Default))

3.3 Setting the Module's Date and Time

This section describes how to set the module’s date and time. The module does
not support a dynamic date and time configuration, therefore, date and time
information must be entered manually.
The protocol uses time and date information to exchange events. The Master
may also send periodic time synchronization requests to the slave. It is important
to ensure that the Master is using the correct date and time information.
Assuming that the Debug port is connected to an ASCII terminal, perform the
following steps to set the module’s date and time:
1 Press the RESET button located on the front of the ProLinx module.
2 While the module is loading, press and hold down the [L] key.

3.4 IEC 60870-5-103 Master Protocol Interoperability Documentation

This companion standard presents sets of parameters and alternatives from
which subsets have to be selected to implement particular telecontrol systems.
Certain parameter values, such as the number of octets in the COMMON
ADDRESS of ASDUs represent mutually exclusive alternatives. This means that
only one value of the defined parameters is admitted per system. Other
parameters, such as the listed set of different process information in command
and in monitor direction allow the specification of the complete set or subsets, as
appropriate for given applications. This clause summarizes the parameters of the
previous clauses to facilitate a suitable selection for a specific application. If a
system is composed of equipment stemming from different manufacturers it is
necessary that all partners agree on the selected parameters.

Note: In addition, the full specification of a system may require individual selection of certain
parameters for certain parts of the system, such as the individual selection of scaling factors for
individually addressable measured values.

The selected parameters should be marked in the white boxes as follows:

 Function or ASDU is not used
⌧ Function or ASDU is used as standardized (default)
R Function or ASDU is used in reverse mode
B Function or ASDU is used in standard and reverse mode
The possible selection (blank, X, R, B) is specified for each specific clause or
parameter.
A black check box indicates that the option cannot be selected in this companion
standard.

between the RMA Policies and the Warranty, the Warranty shall govern.

4.1.1 Returning Any Product

a) In order to return a Product for repair, exchange, or otherwise, the
Customer must obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number
from ProSoft Technology and comply with ProSoft Technology shipping
instructions.
b) In the event that the Customer experiences a problem with the Product for
any reason, Customer should contact ProSoft Technical Support at one of
the telephone numbers listed above (page 133). A Technical Support
Engineer will request that you perform several tests in an attempt to
isolate the problem. If after completing these tests, the Product is found to
be the source of the problem, we will issue an RMA.
c) All returned Products must be shipped freight prepaid, in the original
shipping container or equivalent, to the location specified by ProSoft
Technology, and be accompanied by proof of purchase and receipt date.
The RMA number is to be prominently marked on the outside of the
shipping box. Customer agrees to insure the Product or assume the risk
of loss or damage in transit. Products shipped to ProSoft Technology
using a shipment method other than that specified by ProSoft Technology,
or shipped without an RMA number will be returned to the Customer,
freight collect. Contact ProSoft Technical Support for further information.
d) A 10% restocking fee applies to all warranty credit returns, whereby a
Customer has an application change, ordered too many, does not need,
etc. Returns for credit require that all accessory parts included in the
original box (i.e.; antennas, cables) be returned. Failure to return these
items will result in a deduction from the total credit due for each missing
item.
