Introduction to IEC 60870-5-103
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60870-5 is a protocol
standard developed by the IEC Technical Committee of teleprotection, tele-
control, and telecommunications for electrical engineering and power system
automation. It defines systems used for supervisory control and data acquisi-
tion (SCADA), including details related to communications between devices.
IEC 60870-5-103 is a companion standard that allows interoperability
between devices in a control system and protection equipment. The IEC
60870-5 standard consists of the documents listed in Table G.1.
The IEC 60870-5-103 document contains the information necessary for
successful implementation of this protocol. SEL strongly recommends that
anyone involved with the design, installation, configuration, or maintenance of
IEC 60870-5-103 systems be familiar with the appropriate sections of this
document.
