 7 File transfer

The file transfer is used for exchanging files between a control center and a subordinated
device connected to a RTU560.

Before starting file transfer to a subordinated RTU, the control center must deactivate the
RTU (stop data acquisition and processing). This increases performance for file transfer,
as the periodic measurand telegrams of this station will disappear from the line until the
RTU restarts.

The file name in the protocol is fixed for all supported file types to 1 (transparent file).

File transfer RTU560 Host Communication Interface with IEC 60870-5-104

7.1 Download

The download of configuration files does not trigger any restarting mechanism in the
subordinated device. For activating the new configuration file, the control center has to
issue a Reset Process Command (C_RP_NA_1, TI 105) after writing the files to the
device.

The file transfer will only be routed to the subordinated device it belongs to. The
distribution is done between the message F_LS_NA_1 and the message F_AF_NA_1
and may last a couple of seconds. The message F_AF_NA_1 is only acknowledged
positively when file distribution were successful.

7.2 Upload

All supported file types can also be uploaded from a RTU560 or subordinated devices.

 8 Transparent Data

In automation systems may be required information that is not mapped to the

IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. This information includes several device specific parameter
etc.

Several type identifications of the private range have been selected to enable
transparent data transfer through the RTU560 to subordinate devices.

8.1 Transparent Data Channel

8.2 Command Direction

With the “Transparent Data Message C_TD_NA_1” the Controlling Station is able to
request data from subordinate devices through the RTU560.

The Type Ident is 145, the link address, ASDU address and the Information object
address must be configured by RTUtil NT.

The “Transparent Data Message C_TD_NA_1” will be answered from RTU560 by

sending the message back to Controlling Station with Cause of Transmission 7
(Activation confirmation).

When the message is accepted by the RTU (message can be processed by the RTU and
device answers to the request message), the RTU sends a “positive confirmation”
ACTCON, otherwise (message cannot be processed by the RTU) the RTU sends a
“negative confirmation” ACTCON.

Every transparent data command is checked on link address, ASDU address,

informationation object address and “No of Data Bytes in Current Segment“.

If the link address, ASDU address or information object address doesn’t match to the
configuration in RTUtil NT or the “No of Data Bytes in Current Segment” is higher than
200, the command is confirmed negative.

8.2.1 Monitoring Direction

With the “Transparent Data Response M_TD_NA_1”, the RTU is able to receive any data
as transparent data from subordinate devices.

The Type Ident is 146, the link address, ASDU address and the Information object
address must be configured by RTUtil NT. They are equal to the one used in command
direction.

The maximum amount of segments is 255, each of them contains up to 200 data bytes.

If all data can be sent in one message (data segmentation not necessary), the contents
of both segmentation control fields are set to 1.

8.3 Encapsulated SPABUS messages

8.3.1 General

With the “Transparent Data Message C_SB_NA_1” the Controlling Station is able to
request data and execute commands of a SPAbus device connected to a subordinate
device through the RTU560.

The Type Ident is 133, the link address, ASDU address and the Information object
address must be configured by RTUtil NT.

The “Transparent Data Message C_SB_NA_1” will be answered from RTU by sending
the message back to Central System with Cause of Transmission 7 (Activation
confirmation).

When the message is accepted by the subordinate device (Device answers to the
request message), the RTU sends a “positive confirmation” ACTCON with the reply data
included, otherwise (message cannot be processed) the RTU sends a “negative
confirmation” ACTCON.

Every transparent data command is checked on link address, ASDU address, information
object address and “No of Data Bytes in Current Segment“.

If the link address, ASDU address, information object address or “No of Data Bytes”
doesn’t match to the configuration in RTUtil NT, the command is confirmed negative.

 11 System Events

The subdevice interface manages internal status messages for every device connected
to these line. These status messages are created from the subdevice interface itself for
every connected device.

The subdevice interface supports 2 system events only

Description of system event Address offset
RTU is active 24
RTU inoperable 48

While initialization the system events RTU_IS_ACTIVE (24) as SPI with value 1 is send
to the internal communication. On a running system this system event doesn´t change.

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) is send as SPI to the internal communication
in dependency of the state of the subordinated device:
State of the subordinated device Value of system event 48
OFFLINE 1
ONLINE 0

ABB Utilities GmbH 1KGT 150 519 V001 1 11-1

 12 Status Change

12.1 Offline to Online

If the status of a subordinated device or line changes from OFFLINE to ONLINE a

general interrogation command is send to the concerning device(s)

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) with value 0 is send as SPI to the internal
communication for every device that changed the state.

12.2 Online to Offline

If the status of a subordinated device or line changes from ONLINE to OFFLINE all
configured data points connected to this devices are send to the internal communication
with the actual state, marked as INVALID and with the timestamp of the own RTU.

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) with value 1 is send as SPI to the internal
communication for every device that changed the state.
