HolonStationProbe 104

In development

Act as the controlling station on IEC 60870-5-104. Connect to RTUs and gateways, interrogate them, send commands and read every ASDU in a log that makes sense.

Planned features

What this tool is being built to do. Features may change before the first release.

  • Link control

    Open connections, start and stop data transfer, watch test frames and tune the k, w and timeout parameters.

  • Interrogation

    Run general and counter interrogation, globally or per group, and see the full image of the station.

  • Commands

    Send single, double and regulating step commands and set points, with select and execute or direct execution.

  • Clock synchronisation

    Send clock sync commands and check the time stamps the outstation returns.

  • Readable ASDU log

    Every frame decoded with type identification, cause of transmission, IOA, value, quality and CP56Time2a time tag.

  • Point list check

    Import the expected point list and flag missing, unexpected or wrongly typed points.

Where it helps

  • End-to-end signal tests

    Check every point between the station and the control centre side, one by one.

  • Control centre mapping

    Verify addresses and types before the link to the real control centre goes live.

  • Communication troubleshooting

    See exactly what the RTU or gateway sends, and when.
