Introduction 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
This manual describes the RX3i IEC 60870-5-104 Option Parameters Ethernet Server
Module, IC695EIS001 (or EIS001 for short). By installing this module in the backplane of an
RX3i controller, the controller may be set up as an IEC 104 Server on an IEC 104 Network.
This permits RX3i data to be exchanged with the IEC 104 Clients on that network.
Introductory material may be found in this chapter. Chapter 2: provides installation and set-
up information. Chapter 3: provides configuration instructions. Chapter 4:describes system
operation. Chapter 5: provides diagnostic information. 0 covers the use and format of
ladder logic COMMREQ instructions used to set up and configure the EIS001 module and its
interaction with the IEC 104 Clients to which it is connected over Ethernet.
The appendices provide reference material for this application. Appendix D: Device Profile,
provides a profile of the IEC 104 Server.

Introduction 2
1.2 IEC 104 Overview
IEC 104 is a client/server communications protocol originally developed for use in the
electric utility sector for power transmission and distribution systems. It has migrated to
other vertical markets and is now a general market protocol based on a 3-layer protocol
scheme. IEC 104 is a generational protocol coming from a foundation of the IEC 60870-5-
101 protocol.

Introduction 3
1.3 Description
The RX3i IEC 104 Server Module, catalog number IC695EIS001 (or EIS001), hosts the IEC
104 Server protocol on a common RX3i ETM001 module hardware platform. Thus, many of
the specifications and behaviors are shared with the ETM001 module. IC695EIS001 is an
Ethernet-connected module which fits in the RX3i backplane and permits the RX3i to
behave as a Server on the IEC 104 network.
The data exchanges between the EIS001 module and one IEC 104 Client are configurable,
using a single COMMREQ instruction in the ladder logic or Structured Text program, as
detailed in 0, and are limited to exchanging only linear (%) memory. Symbolic references,
which represent non-linear use of memory, cannot therefore be specified in this interface.
However, the corresponding data may be exchanged as part of a block of memory (%R, for
instance).
1.4 Product Overview
The PACSystems RX3i Ethernet IEC 60870-5-104 Server Module, catalog number
IC695EIS001 implements the IEC communications protocol. It permits a PACSystems RX3i
controller to be connected to an Ethernet network using a standard TCP/IP connection
scheme, allowing an IEC 104 Client to poll data from the Server, as well generate unsolicited
communications from the Server back to the Client.
Two auto-sensing 10BaseT/100BaseTX RJ-45 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet ports permit
direct connection to either a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX IEEE 802.3 network without an external
transceiver. Line, Star and Daisy Chain topologies are supported.
The RX3i Ethernet IEC 104 Server Module hosts the IEC104 Server-side protocol on a
common RX3i ETM001 module hardware platform. Thus, many of the specifications and
behaviors are shared with the ETM001 module including protocol support. IC695EIS001 is
an Ethernet-connected module that fits in the RX3i backplane and permits the RX3i to
behave as a Server on the IEC104 network. The data exchanges between the EIS001 module
and IEC104 Client(s) are configurable, using a single COMMREQ instruction in the ladder
logic or Structured Text program.
Module Features
The Ethernet 104 Server Module:
•Supports up to eight connections to the RX3i Controller data set specified in the
configuration.
•Supports Interrogation and RBE for Single Point and Double Point data.
•Supports Interrogation and RBE for Regulated Step.

1.7 RX3i IEC 104 Server Specifications and
Restrictions
The following tables document the IEC 104 Server capabilities of the EIS001 module. Refer
to the IEC 104 standard for details.
Interrogation Types
Description
General
General Interrogation is a full request of all point data on the Server
from the client.
RBE
Whenever a point changes state, an exception report is sent to the
Client of this event. Refer to Report by Exception Shutter Time
mComreq_Setup [12] in
Parameters for Filter Times for details.
The IEC 104 Server does not buffer events, so a constant connection
is required in order to receive a report.

1.9 Glossary
ADSU
A generic term used for referring to a collection of data points, or a single data
point, on an IEC 104 device. An object can have a specific action on a Server and all
objects are defined in the IEC 104 Specification.
ASDU
Application Service Data Unit.
AUP
Advanced User Parameters for Ethernet configuration, a file which contains specific
parameter overrides and options for the Ethernet Module.
COMMREQ
A Communications Request Instruction supported by RX3i CPUs. Conveys data
from the RX3i CPU to a designated target device. In this application, a single
COMMREQ conveys all the IEC 104 Server parameters to the EIS001.
CPO
Control Point Offset, a point index scheme by which the Server can protect data
from being over-written. It does so by only allowing points above a given index
value to be written to. Points at or below the index are read-only.
CRS
COMMREQ Status word.
CRU
A Controller (CPU) configured for Redundancy application.
IEC 104
The document term for the IEC60870-5-104 protocol specification.
IOA
Item of Activation, a term for a point which is the target object of a command.
IPv4
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version in the development of the
Internet Protocol (IP), and routes most traffic on the Internet. IPv4 is described in
IETF publication RFC 791.
LAN
Local Area Network.
LED
Light Emitting Diode.
LIS
LAN Interface Status Bits are data provided by the module concerning the health
and status of its Ethernet interface. The status includes that of the physical module
as well as of the attached network.
PAC Machine
Edition
PAC Machine Edition –used to configure, program and monitor RX3i Systems.
RBE
Report by Exception.
Segment
This term refers to the instance of data, the IEC 104 plug-in only supports one data
segment, as the Controller has only one memory space.
Sessions
This term refers to the number of clients that can connect to the IEC 104 server. The
IEC 104 plug-in supports up to one.
ST
Structured Text: a programing language supported by RX3i CPUs.
SOE
Sequence of Events: a generic term used to describe a mechanism that can detect
data change, then time-stamping each change for the purpose of establishing the
sequence in which the changes were detected.

Introduction 12
TCP/IP
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet
Protocol suite (IP), and is so common that the entire suite is often called TCP/IP. TCP
provides reliable, ordered and error-checked delivery of a stream of octets between
programs running on computers connected to a local area network, intranet or the
public Internet. It resides at the transport layer.
ST Block
A program block within ST. In this application one uses a single ST Block to convey
a COMMREQ from the RX3i CPU to the EIS001 in order to set up all its IEC 104
parameters.

2.1 Pre-Installation Check
Upon receiving your RX3i equipment, carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage.
If any part of the system is damaged, notify the carrier immediately. The damaged shipping
container should be saved as evidence for inspection by the carrier.
As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage
incurred during shipment. Emerson will cooperate fully with you, however, should such
action be necessary.
After unpacking the RX3i equipment, record all serial numbers. Serial numbers are required
if you should need to contact Customer Care during the warranty period. All shipping
containers and all packing material should be saved should it be necessary to transport or
ship any part of the system.
Verify that all components of the system have been received and that they agree with your
order. If the system received does not agree with your order, contact Customer Care.
