IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module with Reduced Data Block

MVI56-103MR

The MVI56 IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module with Reduced Data Block allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix 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.

This module uses a small I/O data area for data transfer between the module and the ControlLogix processor, making it ideal for ControlNet applications.

Features and Benefits

The MVI56-103MR 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 ControlLogix processor over the backplane.

General Specifications

• Single Slot - 1756 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. Sample ladder file included.
• Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to module. Sample configuration file included
• Local or remote rack

Applications

The MVI56-103MR module is the ideal solution for many applications where IEC protocol connectivity must be added to a ControlLogix 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 MV56-103MR 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
• This module uses a small I/O data area for data transfer between the module and the ControlLogix processor.
• 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
