In the part of the main window called 'Device' you can define the settings of the device.

Entry

Protocol

Function

Name

101
104

Name of the device for easy identification

Ip address IP

104

IP address of the Master. This allows to identify the device that the Master communicates with. All IP addresses except 255.255.255.255 are allowed.

Link address 

101

Link address Via the link address contained in the TF 1.2 frame, the master specifies the device that the command is intended for. With link addresses, a Master can communicate with multiple devices. The allowed range of the address depends on the setting 'links address size' in the main settings.
Link address size = 1 allows a range of 0 to 254
Link address size = 2 allows a range of 0 to 65534

COA size 

101

Defines the size of the COA (common object address).
Valid: 1 or 2 octet.
You can only change the COA size for 101. For 104, the value is automatically set to 2, according to the standard.

COT size 

101

Defines the size of the COT (cause of transmission).
Valid: 1 or 2 octet.
You can only change the COT size for 101. For 104, the value is automatically set to 2, according to the standard.

IOA size 

101

Defines the size of the IOA (information object address).
Valid: 1, 2 or 3 octet
You can only change the IOA size for 101. For 104, the value is automatically set to 2, according to the standard.

Commands active 

101
104

This options allows you to activate write access. Process information in control direction are executed. If this options is deactivated, an entry in the error protocol is created.

Max APDU size

Maximum length of APDU data as defined in the standard 870-5-104 5.
Valid: between 25 and 253.

Max. user data 

101

Maximum length of user data as defined in TF1.2 870-5-2 3.2 .
Valid: between (19 + LAF size + COA size + COT size + IOA size) and (255).

Short pulse length 

101
104

Defines the size of the pulse for the 'Qualifier of Command' with the value 'short pulse duration' (QOC = 1) in milliseconds.
Possible values: 0 to 4294967295
In the debug mode, there will also be a pulse for values greater than/equal to 10000, even with QOC = 0. This allows you to test the pulse generation with our IEC870 drivers.

Long pulse length 

101
104

Defines the size of the pulse for the 'Qualifier of Command' with the value 'long pulse duration' (QOC = 2) in milliseconds.
Possible values: 0 to 4294967295.
