System or device:
□ System definition.
□ Controlling station definition (master).
⊠ Controlled station definition (slave).
Application layer:Transmission mode for application data:Mode 1 (least significant octet
first), as defined in Clause 4.10 of IEC 60870-5-4, is used exclusively in this companion
standard.Common address of ASDU:
⊠ Two octets.Information object address:
⊠ Three octets.
⊠ Structured
⊠ Unstructured
Cause of transmission:
⊠ Two octets (with originator address). Originator address is set to zero if not
used.Maximum length of APDU.253 in both directions (the maximum length is a fixed
system parameter).Selection of standard ASDUs.For the following lists, the boxes indicate
the following:⊠ – used in standard direction;
□ – not used.
Process information in monitor direction:
