2.1.1 [SNTP CLIENT]
The [SNTP CLIENT] section of the configuration (.CFG) file or of the PCB
configuration is used to specify the parameters for the Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) Client provided with the protocol driver. The Client is required in
order to keep the driver's internal clock set correctly. This version of the driver
supports SNTP Revision 3 and stratum between 1 and 14.
The updated time and date information is used when sending clock
synchronization commands to remote IEC-60870-5-104 servers.
SNTP is used for time synchronization of produced and consumed commands.
When an exchange occurs, the driver compares time stamps from the previous
exchange. When the new exchange time is less than the previous exchange, the
exchange is ignored. This can occur when the Ethernet packets are routed and
delayed. Time synchronization provides for data integrity.

Protocol Manual IEC 60870-5-104 Client (Firmware v3.xx)
As Seen in PCB
The SNTP driver will compute a new clock value every 5 minutes using the
average value of 10 samples each collected over an approximate 6-second
period. This new value will be used to adjust the clock maintained by the SNTP
driver and used by the application. If a valid database register is specified, the
driver will place the time value into the module's database. The first two registers
will contain the number of seconds and the next two registers will contain the
number of microseconds since January 1, 1970.
A list of some of the common SNTP servers can be obtained at
http://www.ntp.org/
or, http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome
Other server lists can be found by searching the World Wide Web for SNTP
Servers.
SNTP Server IP Address
Enter in dotted notation
This parameter sets the IP address of the SNTP server to utilize for time
acquisition. Select an SNTP server with the greatest accuracy that can be
accessed all the time from your network. Setting this IP address to 0.0.0.0
disables SNTP server requests.

Time Zone
-11 to 11
This parameter specifies the time zone offset to be used from the UTC time
zone. A value of zero uses UTC time. If the value entered is positive, the time
zone is west of the UTC time zone (for example, Eastern Standard Time is 5). If
the value entered is negative, the time zone is east of the UTC time zone (for
example, Continental Europe is -1).
Use Daylight Savings Time
YES or NO
This parameter specifies if daylight savings time will be used in the time
computation.
Database Register
-1 or 0 to 3996 as an even value
This parameter specifies if the NTP time computed by the driver is to be placed
into the module’s database. If a value of -1 is specified, the time will not be
placed into the database. If the value is between 0 and 3992, the time will be
placed in the database. The first 4 bytes will represent the seconds since
1/1/1970, and the second 4 bytes will represent the number of microseconds. An
even value should be used for the register value in order for the data to be stored
correctly.

1 to 30, default value = 30
This is a timeout value, in seconds, to determine if a connection has been lost
with the remote server. If no traffic from the remote server is received for the
period of time specified by this parameter, the currently open IP socket
connection will be closed. The connection can be re-established by the Client by
opening a new connection.
t1 Timeout Set Value
1 to 255 DEFAULT VALUE = 15
This is the timeout of send or test ASDUs and is in units of seconds. After a
packet is sent from the unit, the server must acknowledge the packet within this
time interval or else the unit will close the connection.
t2 Timeout Set Value
1 to 255 DEFAULT VALUE = 10
This is a timeout of when to send an S-format message to the host to
acknowledge outstanding messages received. This parameter is in units of
seconds and must be less than the value set for t1.

2.1.4 [IEC-60870-5-104 Client x Sector x] Parameters
Common ASDU Address
At the application level, the gateway is identified by the Common ASDU
(Application Service Data Unit) Address. This address must match the CASDU
sent at the server unit. An ASDU is a data unit that transfers information objects
between the Client and the server.
If the gateway sends a message to a different Common ASDU, the server should
ignore the command.
Online Time Sync
Yes or No
This parameter specifies if the sector in the server device will be sent a time
synchronization command when the server device is first recognized as being
online. This should only be used for devices that do not send an EOI message
after initializing.
Online General Int
Yes or No
This parameter specifies if the sector in the server will be sent a general
interrogation command when the unit is first recognized as being online.

EOI Time Sync
Yes or No
This parameter specifies if the sector in the server device will be sent a time
synchronization command after this module received an EOI (End of
Initialization) message from the server device.
EOI General Int
Yes or No
This parameter specifies if the sector in the server will be sent a general
interrogation command after this module receives an EOI message from the
controlled unit.

2.1.5 [IEC-60870-5-104 Client x Sector y]
This section allows the user to associate the monitored data points to module
database. These points are sent from the remote server to the module. There
are 3 parameters for each point association that you create: Data Type, Point
Index, Database Address.
The data type must be selected among one of the following supported types. The
Point Index is the Information Object Address which identifies the point in the
network. The Database Address defines the gateway database location on
where the point value will be stored. The database address could be defined as
bit-addressing, byte addressing, word addressing or double-word addressing
depending on the data type.
For additional information on how to set these parameters, see the Reference
chapter of this manual. The following ASDU data types are supported:

Monitor Single Point [M_SP_NA]
This section defines the Monitor Single-Point information object database.
Each information object (point) indicates one of two states, 1 = Bit On, 0 = Bit Off.
Each information object is one bit and the DB Address value corresponds to the
bit offset in the gateway memory database.
For additional information on how to set these parameters, see the Reference
chapter of this manual.
Monitor Double Point [M_DP_NA]
Each information object in the database can have one of four possible states, 00
= Intermediate, 01 = Off, 10 = On, and 11 = Intermediate.
Each information object is two bits and the DB Address value corresponds to the
bit offset in the gateway memory database.
Monitor Step Position [M_ST_NA]
Each information object is one 8-bit byte and the DB Address value corresponds
to the byte offset in the gateway memory database.
[M_BO_NA_1 104]
Each information object is four 8-bit bytes (two 16-bit words) and the DB Address
value corresponds to the double-word offset in the gateway memory database.
Monitor Normalized Measured [M_ME_NA]
Each information object is one 16-bit word and the DB Address value
corresponds to the word offset in the gateway memory database.
Monitor Scaled Measured [M_ME_NB]
Each information object is one 16-bit word and the DB Address value
corresponds to the word offset in the gateway memory database.
Monitor Short Floating-Point [M_ME_NC]
Each information object is two 16-bit words and the DB Address value
corresponds to the double-word offset in the gateway memory database.
Monitor Integrated Totals (Counter) [M_IT_NA]
Each information object is two 16-bit words and the DB Address value
corresponds to the double-word offset in the gateway memory database.

2.1.6 [IEC-60870-5-104 Client Commands]
Each row of this section allows the configuration of one command to be sent to
the remote server. The command can be either a control point (single point,
double-point, etc..) or a general command such as clock synchronization to a
specific client.
The following parameters must be configured for each command:
Enable Code
This field determines when the command will be executed according to the
following codes:
Value Description
Command is disabled and will only execute if enabled from mailbox interface (see mailbox
Disabled
Enabled with
Poll Interval Command will execute no more frequently than the time set in the Poll interval parameter
Conditional
interface for further details)
Command will execute when the last value read in the database differs from the current
value

Database Address
The interpretation for the database address parameter will depend on the
selected data type. The database address value is only significant to the control
data types (single point, double-point, etc…).
Examples:
If you select single point command type the database address is interpreted as a
bit-address. For example, a value of 32 means bit 0 of database word 2.
If you select regulating step point command type the database address is
interpreted as a byte-address. For example, a value of 32 means byte 0 of
database word 16.
If you select measured scaled integer command type the database address is
interpreted as a word-address. For example, a value of 32 means database word
32
If you select measured scaled integer command type the database address is
interpreted as a double-word-address. For example, a value of 32 means
database word 16, For the other command types (clock synchronization, read
command, reset process command and test command) you can use the
database address to trigger the command upon data change. However the value
itself is not used within the command.
