1.1 About this document

This document describes implementation of the interface protocol IEC60870-

5-101 for the TAPGUARD® 260.

Read this description along with the technical file for the TAPGUARD® 260.

1.2 Information about the standard

The Monitoring system provides a selection of commands and messages from

the <Communication protocol> interface protocol for communication.

Commands are transmitted directly and there is no scope for selecting and
executing commands.

3 Settings on the voltage regulator

The following chapters describe how to set the parameters for communication
at the relevant interface on the TAPGUARD® 260.

> Configuration > Next* > Comm. interface

Depending on the product version and software, you will need to press "Next"
a varying number of times to reach the "Comm. interface" menu.

You will find more information on how to set the parameters in the technical
file for TAPGUARD® 260.

5 = tap position message
13 = measured value, shortened floating-point number
14 = measured value, shortened floating-point number with time stamp
46 =double command
47 = step-by-step adjustment command
50 = desired value adjustment command, shortened floating-point number
100 = general query command
103 = time synchronization command
112 = parameter for measured values, shortened floating-point number

4.1.2 Function types

3 = spontaneous
7 = confirmation of activation
10 = end of activation
20 = queried by general query

4.2 Monitoring direction

All spontaneous messages (in the event of changes) are transmitted with a
time stamp. The time stamp always relates to when the message is sent. A
message caused by a general query is sent without a time stamp.

Parametrizable messages
The TAPGUARD® 260 has 4 messages which can be pa-
rametrized. These can be put on an input or relay. The mes-
sages are ON when there is a signal at the parameterized
input or the parameterized relay is activated.

Each of these SI commands sets a corresponding flag in the

TAPGUARD® 260. The status of the flags can be used like an
input of the I/O or UC module to activate or deactivate a TAP-
GUARD® 260 function.

Table 9 Sample command for general query (GQ)

The first message sent by the voltage regulator in response to the general
query is the "GQ start" message with <Type code> type code and reason for
transmission 7 (confirmation of activation).

After the last data message from the general query cycle, the "GQ complete"
message is issued with type code 8 and reason for transmission 10.

The message is sent as a response to the next query for class 1 data.

Table 10 Double command (direct) example

Once it has received a valid command, the Monitoring system returns the
command message as positive confirmation. The reason for transmission is
set to 8.

If the command cannot be performed, the P/N bit in the reason for transmis-
sion byte is transmitted.

The message is sent as a response to the next query for class 1 data.
