The MVI46-103M ("IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module") allows
Rockwell Automation SLC I/O compatible processors to interface easily with IEC
60870-5-103 slave (controlled unit) protection devices. Compatible devices
include relays, breakers, sub-station communication modules and other serial
communication devices.
1.1 General Specifications
The MVI46-103M module interfaces up to 32 serial communication devices with
the Rockwell Automation SLC processor. Two communication ports on the
module act as controlling devices (masters) to interface with controlled devices
on their own networks. Each port is individually configurable. Data is exchanged
between the serial network and the Rockwell Automation processor using the
internal database contained in the module and direct control by the controller's
ladder logic.
Some of the general specifications include:
Built in accordance to the approved international specification
Two independent master ports completely user configurable
Up to 32 sessions (controlled devices)
Up to five sectors (separate databases) for each session
Individual database definition for each sector
1000 commands to control stations
SLC processor can issue control commands directly to the module or a
controlled device
Pass-through of event messages from controlled device to processor for
logging of time-tagged events
1.1.1 Physical
This module is designed by ProSoft Technology and incorporates licensed
technology from Rockwell Automation (SLC backplane technology).
