Performance

Covers asynchronous data transmission with half duplex and duplex link protocols operating with window size one for message transfers. Specifies the basic requirements for services to be provided by the link plus physical layers, for telecontrol applications. In particular it specifies standards on coding, formatting and synchronizing data frames of variable and filed lengths which meet specified data integrity requirements.

IEC 60870-5-6:2006 Specifies methods for conformance testing of telecontrol equipment, amongst substation automation systems and telecontrol systems, including front-end functions of SCADA. Facilitates interoperability by providing a standard method of testing protocol implementations. Is expected to minimize the risk of non-interoperability.

IEC/TS 60870-5-7:2013(E) describes messages and data formats for implementing IEC/TS 62351-5 for secure authentication as an extension to IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104. The purpose of this base standard is to permit the receiver of any IEC 60870-5-101/104 Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) to verify that the APDU was transmitted by an authorized user and that the APDU was not modified in transit. It provides methods to authenticate not only the device which originated the APDU but also the individual human user if that capability is supported by the rest of the telecontrol system.

IEC 60870-5-101:2003+A1:2015 Applies to telecontrol equipment and systems with coded bit serial data transmission for monitoring and controlling geographically widespread processes. Defines a telecontrol companion standard that enables interoperability among compatible telecontrol equipment. The defined telecontrol companion standard utilizes standards of the IEC 60870-5 series of documents.

Standardizes the transmission of integrated totals representing the amount of electrical energy transferred between power utilities, or between a power utility and independent producers on a high voltage or medium voltage network.

IEC 60870-5-104:2006+A1:2016 Defines a telecontrol companion standard that enables interoperability among compatible telecontrol equipment. Applies to telecontrol equipment and systems with coded bit serial data transmission for monitoring and controlling geographically widespread processes.
This publication is of high relevance for Smart Grid. This consolidated version consists of the second edition (2006) and its amendment 1 (2012). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.

IEC TS 60870-5-601:2015(E) describes test cases for conformance testing of telecontrol equipment, Substation Automation Systems (SAS) and telecontrol systems, including front-end functions of SCADA. The use of this part of IEC 60870 facilitates interoperability by providing a standard method of testing protocol implementations, but it does not guarantee interoperability of devices. It is expected that using this part of IEC 60870 during testing will minimize the risk of non-interoperability.
