IEC 60870-5-104 · RTU and gateway simulator

HolonStationTwin 104

In development

Simulate an RTU or gateway as a controlled station. Load the point list, generate changes and answer commands, so the control centre side can be tested before the real outstation is there.

Planned features

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

  • Point list in, outstation out

    Import the point list from CSV or Excel and start a controlled station with the right IOAs and types.

  • Spontaneous and cyclic data

    Generate spontaneous changes, cyclic updates and bursts of events to load the link realistically.

  • Answers like a real RTU

    Respond to general interrogation and commands, with configurable delays and positive or negative confirmations.

  • Several outstations

    Run more than one station on different ports or addresses on the same machine.

  • Fault injection

    Set quality flags such as invalid or not topical, drop the connection and test how the master reacts.

  • Scripted scenarios

    Replay sequences of events to repeat the same test whenever you need it.

Where it helps

  • Control centre and SCADA testing

    Test the master side before the RTU is installed or reachable.

  • Point-to-point checks

    Drive each point on purpose and confirm it arrives right on the other end.

  • Training

    Show how IEC 104 behaves, link problems included, in a safe environment.
