Introduction to the 102 Protocol
102 Protocol and ION Technology
Introduction to the 102 Protocol
The102protocolwasfirstdefinedinJune1996,andisprimarilyconcernedwith
thetransferofpowerusageinformation(IntegratedTotals)betweenamaster
stationandaslavedevice(i.e.anIONmeter).Eventorsinglepointinformation,
suchastimechangeormeterreset,canalsobereadfromthemeter.
SincetheDistributedNetworkProtocol(DNP)wasderivedfromthisprotocol,it
sharessomedefinitionswiththe102protocol.
AsinDNP,eachmeteringvalue(suchasReactiveQ1)orpoint,isassigneda
uniqueInformationObjectAddress(IOA).Thisnumberisusedbythemasterto
specifywhichmeteringpointistobereturnedbythemeter.
Additionally,eachphysicaldevicecancontainmorethanonelogicaldevice,as
specifiedbytheCommonAddress.Thuseachmeteringpointonameteris
uniquelydefinedbythecombinationofthecommonaddressandtheIOA.
NOTE
As currently implemented, each meter running the 102 protocol will contain a single logical device.
AnotherparameteristheDataLinkAddress,whichisusedtospecifyaconnection
inamultidropsystem.
The102protocolusesathreelayerstack:
Application Layer
Theapplicationlayerisprimarilyresponsiblefortheencodinganddecodingof
ApplicationServiceDataUnit(ASDU)packets,whichcontaineitherdatarequests
orresponses.Currentlytheprotocolissettounbalancedmode,meaningthat
requestscanonlyoriginatefromthemasterstation.
Link Layer
ThelinklayerisconcernedwiththesuccessfultransmissionofLinkProtocolData
Unit(LPDU)packetsbetweenthemasterandaslave.Onlythosepacketswiththe
correctdatalinkaddresswillbepassedupthestacktotheapplicationlayer.

NOTE
There is no associated 102 protocol ION module, and therefore all protocol parameters are hard-coded
into the protocol code.

NOTE
Before upgrading your meter firmware to a non-102 supported version, first deselect IEC 102 from any
COM protocols. This will prevent any possible firmware issues when you attempt to make changes to
COM protocol settings.

NOTE
Once you have saved the framework to the workstation, you can copy it to other meters. Using a lockpaste will ensure that Data Recorder modules 11 and 12 are maintained.
