IEC60870-5-103 Master Communications Module

MVI71-103M

The MVI71 IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module allows Rockwell Automation PLC backplane I/O compatible processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-103 compatible devices. Devices commonly supporting the protocol include relays, breakers, sub-station Communication Modules and other serial communication devices used in power monitoring.

Features and Benefits

The MVI71-103M supports up to 32 total field devices between the module's two IEC 60870-5-103 Master ports. The module's communication ports can each be independently configured, allowing two separate field networks to be implemented. The field device data is exchanged between the MVI module and the PLC processor over the backplane.

The MVI71-103M module is a powerful communication interface for Rockwell Automation PLC platform processors. Developed under license from Rockwell Automation, the module incorporates proprietary backplane technology that enables powerful data access to the PLC processor.

General Specifications

• Single Slot - 1771 backplane compatible
• The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor and module
• Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor.
• Configuration data obtained through user-defined ladder. Sample ladder file included

The MVI71-103M module is the ideal solution for many applications where IEC protocol connectivity must be added to a PLC system. The IEC solution is designed to address the expanding interest in the IEC protocol and the use of IEC compatible devices in industrial applications such as those in the water/wastewater power and oil & gas industries.

Compatible devices include relays, breakers, sub-station Communication Modules and other serial communication devices.

Functional Specifications

The MVI71-103M module supports the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol to the following specifications:

• The IEC 60870-5-103 communication driver is built in accordance to the approved IEC specification
• Module memory usage that is completely user definable
• The module has two independent master ports, each configurable via a simple configuration file
• Supports up to 32 sessions (controlled devices) between the two ports
• Supports up to five sectors (separate databases) for each session, with individual database definition for each sector
• Total of 1000 user configurable commands to control data transfer to/from devices (controlled devices)
• Supports clock synchronization from/to the processor
• Event data received from the Control Devices updates the module database (Date and Time stamping is not stored or used by module)
• Class 1 and Class 2 delay parameter are configurable for each session
• An IEC Interoperability Document for the module is available from the web site, which fully documents data types supported by the module
