5.4 IEC60870-5-101 Introduction
This section describes the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol implementation in the relays. The control system or local
PC acts as the master in the system with the relay operating as a slave responding to the master’s commands.
This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, Fibre Optic, RS232 and RS485).
