1.1 Obtain the Sample Configuration Files

The ProSoft Solutions CD is organized in folders by module name. In the folder for the module you are using, you will find sample configuration files and other information.

1 Use Windows Explorer to locate the sample configuration files for your

ProLinx module on the ProLinx CD.

2 When you have located the correct configuration files, use the Copy and

Paste commands to move the files to a location on your PC's hard drive. We recommend C:\temp.

3 Files copied from a CD-ROM are read-only. The next step is to make the files

writable. Navigate to the directory where you copied the files, then select the files and click the right mouse button to open a shortcut menu. On the shortcut menu, select Properties, and clear (uncheck) the Read Only check box.

4 The next step is to open the configuration files in a text editor such as

Notepad, which comes with Windows. To start Notepad, click the Start button, and then choose Programs → Accessories → Notepad.

5 When Notepad starts, open the File menu, and then choose Open. Navigate

to the folder where you copied the configuration file on your PC and select the file. Click Open. The configuration file will open in Notepad, ready for editing.

Note: We do not recommend opening the configuration file in a word processor such as Microsoft Word, because the file may be saved in a format that cannot be read by the module.

1.1.1 PDPS Protocol Specific Configuration

The following is excerpted from a configuration file showing typical examples of the PROFIBUS Slave Port of a CFG file for a PDPS port. Shipped with each unit is a default configuration file that can easily form the basis for a working solution. This file can either be downloaded from the ProSoft web site at

http://www.prosoft-technology.com

# Example configuration file for the 4105-xxxx-PDPS communication module. # # COMPANY : ProLinx Communication Gateways, Inc. # DATE : #

# This information sets up the database. [Module] Module Name: 5105-xxxx-PDPS

, or transferred from the module.

1.1.2 [PROFIBUS SLAVE] Section

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

[PROFIBUS Slave] Slave Address : 6 #PROFIBUS node address for slave (0-125) Swap Input Bytes : No #Swap bytes in input image (Yes or No) Swap Output Bytes : No #Swap bytes in output image (Yes or No) Comm Failure Mode : 1 #0=x-fer on comm fail, 1=no x-fer on fail Comm Timeout Multiplier : 10 #(1 to 10) * 125 mSec communication timeout

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

Comm Failure Mode

0 or 1 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 0, the output image will continue to be transferred. If the parameter is set to 1, 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.

1.1.3 IEC 60870-5-104 Server section

The following is excerpted from a configuration file showing typical examples used for configuration of the 104S driver. A default configuration file for each module application that includes the 101S interface card is available for download from the ProSoft 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 http:/www.prosoft-technology.com, or transferred from the module.

1.1.4 [Window Parameters]

This section is used to define the control window to send events and time data from the MNET interface to and from the 104S interface. If either or both of these parameters are invalid or -1, then this feature is disabled.

If the database registers for the two areas (non-overlapping -- not checked by application) are valid, this feature is utilized. Each window requires 100 words of the database. The input window is read by the module and the output window is written by the module.

[Window Parameters] DB Input Window Start : 3000 #Start register for input window (-1=not used) DB Output Window Start : 3100 #Start register for output window (-1=not used)

DB Input Window Start

The DB Input Window Start parameter defines the Prolinx database starting register where the command block request should be transferred to (from the remote node to the Prolinx module). A value of –1 disables this functionality.

DB Output Window Start

The DB Output Window Start parameter defines the Prolinx database starting register where the command block response should be transferred to (from the Prolinx module to the remote node ). So some command blocks will require a response from the module (for example the command block to retrieve the current time from the module). A value of –1 disables this functionality.

1.1.5 [SNTP CLIENT]

The [SNTP CLIENT] section of the CFG file is used to specify the parameters for the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client provided with the protocol driver. This 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.

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.

Customizing the Sample Configuration File 4205/5205-TS-104S-PDPS ♦ ProLinx Standalone IEC-60870-5-104 to PDPS Communication Module with Time Stamp

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 NTP servers can be obtained at

http://www.ntp.org/

the appropriate IP address. Other server lists can be found on the Internet by searching on "NTP Servers" with your browser.

, http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html, along with

NTP Server IP Address

Enter in dotted notation This parameter sets the IP address of the NTP server to utilize for time

acquisition. Select an NTP 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 sets the time zone offset from UTC. If UTC time is to be utilized

in the module, set this value to zero. Positive values are for time zones west of UTC, and negative values are for time zones east of UTC.

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 3992 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.

1.1.6 [IEC-870-5-104]

This section provides information required to configure a server application with the module. Most entries contained within this section are self explanatory An item of concern is the maximum size of the total database, although it is possible to configure a database of considerable size, this would not work, as the maximum Class 0 request may not exceed 2048 bytes in size.

The following example shows a sample [IEC-870-5-104] section:

# Network configuration Use IP List : N #Use IP list to validate connection (Y/N) Override StartDT : Y #Used to ignore STARTDT/STOPDT state (Y/N) Clear queue on close : Y #Clear the queue when connection closed (Y/N) t1 timeout set value : 15 #timeout of send or test ASDU t2 timeout set value : 10 #timeout of ack when no data (t2<t1) t3 timeout set value : 30 #timeout for test frame on idle state k (maximum queue) : 12 #maximum number of message to hold in queue #(1-20) w (latest ack threshold) : 8 #threshold value when to send ack (1-20) Time DB Offset : 1020 #DB location of IEC time Command Delay Timer : 6000 #mSec to add to cmd w\ time-tag to check for #validity # General protocol settings Common Address of ASDU : 1 #Range 0 to 65535 Cyclic data transmission : 0 #Numb of milliseconds between cyclic updates Select/Operate Timeout : 2000 #Milliseconds before select timeout Use ACTTERM with setpoint : Y #ACTCON is last response to cmd (Yes or No) Use ACTTERM with step : Y #ACTCON is last response to cmd (Yes or No)

Maximum ASDU Resp Len : 248 #maximum ASDU response message length (25-255)

# These two parameters are utilized if the Mode A operation is to be used for the # counter freeze operation. If they are not used, the the module will operate in # Mode D. Freeze Start Type : N #D=Day, H=Hour, M=Minute, N=Not used Interval For Freeze : 30 #Number of seconds after start type #(0 to 65535)

# This section is used to define priority queues for the module. The data types # that can return events can be assigned priorities so that events of data types # will be returned before other data types. This may cause events to be lost as # the event buffers for low priority queues may overflow. If this feature is # utilized, each data type must be assigned a unique index from 0 to 6. The # lower the index the higher the priority (0=highest priority). Set Priority Queues : 1 #Set user defined priority queues 1=Yes, 0=No M_SP_NA Priority : 1 #Unique index for this data type in queue #(0-5) M_DP_NA Priority : 0 #Unique index for this data type in queue #(0-5) M_ST_NA Priority : 5 #Unique index for this data type in queue #(0-5) M_ME_NA Priority : 4 #Unique index for this data type in queue #(0-5) M_ME_NB Priority : 3 #Unique index for this data type in queue #(0-5)

Modify each parameter based on the needs of your application.

Use IP List

Use IP List : 0 #Use IP list to validate connection #(0=No, 1=Yes)

This parameter specifies if the IP address of the host connected to the system will be validated. If the parameter is set to 0, any host may connect to the unit. If the parameter is set to 1, only hosts in the IP list will be permitted to connect to the unit.

Override StartDT

Override StartDT : 1 #Used to ignore STARTDT/STOPDT state #(0=No, 1=Yes)

This parameter is used when testing the unit with a simulator or with a client unit that does not meet the IEC 60870-5-104 specification. After the host connects to the system, it will send a STARTDT.ACT U-format message to the unit to permit the unit to start sending data. If the client does not support this requirement, set the parameter to a value of 1. Set the parameter to 0 if the unit sends the STARTDT.ACT message.

Clear Queue on Close

Clear queue on close : 0 #Clear the queue when connection #closed (0=No, 1=Yes)

Use this command to define if the module will store the unacknowledged buffers in the unit after the connection is closed. If the specification is to be followed, set this parameter to 0 and the packets will be resent after a connection is made. If you want to flush the packets after the connection is closed, set this parameter to 1 (this is not according to the specification).

t1 Timeout Set Value

t1 timeout set value : 60 #timeout of send or test ASDU

This is the timeout of send or test ASDU's and is in units of seconds. After a packet is sent from the unit, the client must acknowledge the packet within this time interval or else the unit will close the connection.

t2 Timeout Set Value

t2 timeout set value : 10 #timeout of ack when no data (t2<t1)

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.

t3 Timeout Set Value

t3 timeout set value : 30 #timeout for test frame on idle state

This is the timeout to wait on an idle line before the unit will send a TestFr.Act message. This value is in units of seconds.

k (maximum queue)

k (maximum queue) : 12 #maximum number of message to hold in #queue (1-20)

This parameter specifies the number of unacknowledged messages the unit will buffer. This parameter must match that in the host. If the set number of buffers are filled in the unit, no other messages will be sent until the host unit acknowledges some or all the messages.

w (latest ack threshold)

w (latest ack threshold) : 8 #threshold value when to send ack (1-20)

This parameter must match that of the host unit and specifies the number of messages the module will receive before sending an S-format sequence acknowledge message when no I-format data is ready to send. It is recommended to set this value to 2/3 the value of k.

 Point #:  DB Address:  Monitor Point #:  Monitor DB Addr:  Require Select:

Each point is one word and the DB Address value corresponds to the word offset in the database.

1.1.21 [C_SE_NC_1 104] Section

This section defines the short-float setpoint database for the server emulated. This information is sourced from the remote client and is transferred to the database. Each point occupies a double-word position in the database. If the Require Select parameter is not set to zero, a select command must be received before an execute command will be processed.

This section takes the following parameters:

 Point #:  DB Address:  Monitor Point #:  Monitor DB Addr:  Require Select:

Each point is two words and the DB Address value corresponds to the doubleword offset in the database.

The database address should be located in a database area that is being constantly moved from the module to the processor. You should configure the DB Address parameter in an area that is on a Backplane Command Function 2.

1.1.22 Group Definition

One aspect of the point configuration database that leads to confusion is the group definition field. This assignment for each point assigns a point to one or more interrogation groups. Use of interrogation groups permits the controlling unit to interface with a specific set of data. Refer to the IEC 60870-5-104 standard for a full discussion of interrogation groups. A specific group, Periodic data group, reports data points on a set frequency. The frequency is set in the Cyclic Data Transmission parameter in the configuration file. Remember that a point can be assigned to more than one group:
