Channel Configuration

| Protocol Mode |
Choose Protocol Mode |
| Master |
IOServer will initiate all requests. |
| Slave |
IOServer will wait for and response to
requests. |
| Database Directory |
The directory in which the database extracted from each
devices is stored. The database is automatically saved by IOServer
when the device is closed and is read into memory when the device
starts up. This allows the objects to be browsed even if the device
is offline. |
When using the Serial port, even parity must be selected.
Device Configuration

| Slave Station Address |
Address (decimal) of slave. (0 to 254, 255 is the broadcast address) |
| Poll Interval |
Issue a class 2 poll at this polling interval to poll
for events. |
| General Interrogation Interval |
Initiate General Interrogation at this interval. When
connecting to multiple relays, the GI Poll interval will need to be
spread out by using
"900,0" for Device 1 (GI Poll at 0:00, 0:15, 0:30, 0:45,
1:00 ...)
"900,60" for Device 2 (GI Poll at 0:01, 0:16, 0:31, 0:46,
1:01 ...)
"900,120" for Device 3 (GI Poll at 0:02, 0:17, 0:32, 0:47,
1:02 ...)
and etc.,
Writing any value to .GI will force General Interrogation to be
performed immediately.
|
| Time Synchronization Interval |
Synchronise the clock in the relay at regular
interval. You can also create a broadcast device (Slave Station
Address set to 255) to set the clock of all relays instead. A value of
0 will disable this feature. |
| Definition File |
Device Tag Name definition File. 7sj531.txt
is the definition file for Siemens Protection Relay 7SJ531. The Definition file
is not needed if you
are using the numeric tag name to access objects in the relay.
In the .txt file, each line have four tab separated entries.

| Numeric Tag Name |
Use numeric tag name. Numeric tags are of the form:

Measurands
Measurands from the relays are 13 bit values between -4096 to +4096. The
+/-4096 is +/- 240% of the rated value. These
raw values have to be scaled to engineering values as follows.
If the Relay software shows a value of 109, but IOServer show a value of 635 at
the same time, then the scaling factor is
4096 * 109/635 => 703.09
You then use the modifier
,,-4096,4096,-703,703,Real
See http://www.ioserver.com/addtags.html
for more information of tag scaling.

Siemens Siprotec Relays
Make sure that you have configured the Siemens relay correctly to send the data the you need, especially that data that are marked "Priv" in the Siemens Manual.
"Priv" are private siemens data type. Set parameter 7221 SYS INTERF to "VDEW EXTENEDED"
Excerpt from SIPROTEC Additional Information for users of the IEC 60870-5-103 Communication Interface in SIPROTEC Protection Relays EV S V 13
SIPROTEC 4 relays and V3 relays offer a large amount of information on the IEC interface. This amount of information can however be controlled by the user:
. For V3 relays the user can select via parameter 7221 SYS INTERF whether compatible information only shall be available (setting "VDEW COMPATIBLE") or
whether all information (compatible and private range) shall be transmitted. Please check, that this parameter is set to "VDEW EXTENDED" if you want to use
manufacturer specific information additionally
