Conventions
In this document function codes of data messages according to RP570/71 are put in
pointed brackets.

<Function code>

References to configuration parameters in RTUtil 560 are written in italic under the
heading parameter. The parameter is followed by definitions put in parentheses, which
indicate where this parameter can be found in RTUtil 560. Example:

Parameter: Router RTU (RTU560 – line parameter)

In this document references to elements of the protocol specification are printed in bold
type and put in brackets: [1, 2.3]

The tables in the next chapters include lists of the functions, options and message types
supported by the protocol structure of RP570/71 for

• the physical layer

• the application layer

This layered model is valid for the protocol [RP570/71].

 2 Link Layer

2.1 Line Parameter

A link address model is used for all RTU560 subdevice communication interfaces. The
basic procedures for data transfer, protection against loss and duplication and flow
control are described in [2].

These parameters can be configured in the line folder of RTUtil 560 separately for every
line.

Communication primitives like the framing of messages, parity checks or retransmissions

are handled by the telecontrol protocol. These tasks are executed in the link layer.

The selectable parameters have to be calculated regarding the communication

technology actually used. All parameters are preset to default values.

Option / Parameters Range of Values / Explanations Default

Protocol type RP571 Enabled (RP571) / disabled (RP570) enabled
Time interval of TSI Enabled / disabled enabled
If enabled: 300 sec
1 … 65.535 sec
SCI supervision time Enabled / disabled enabled
If enabled: 60 sec
10 ... 240 seconds
Response supervision time 10 … 10.000 msec (after polling) 100 msec
Communication retries 1 ... 255 3

 8 Time Synchronization

If the RTU560 shall synchronize subordinated devices it must be configured. The

configuration parameters are described in chapter [2.1].

Important note:

The time synchronization command is only sent to subordinated devices which are
ONLINE and only if the time tag of the own RTU is valid (synchronized).

General interrogation is handled independently by subdevice communication interface.

General interrogations to subordinated devices are sent directly after the initialization of
the RTU560 and on every change of the state of a subordinated device from OFFLINE to
ONLINE.

 10 System Events

10.1 General handling

The subdevice interface manages internal status messages for every device connected
to this line. These status messages are created by the subdevice interface itself for every
connected device.

The subdevice communication interface supports only 2 system events

Description of System Events Address Offset

RTU is active 24
RTU inoperable 48

During initialization the system event RTU_IS_ACTIVE (24) is sent as SPI with value 1 to
the internal communication. In a running system this system event does not change
anymore.

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) is sent as SPI to the internal communication
as a function of the state of the subordinate device:

State of the Subordinate Device Value of System Event 48

OFFLINE 1
ONLINE 0

10.2 Mapping the Complete SEV Information

Terminal status messages (TSTA) can be mapped into the system event block of the
RTU560 system by configuration. In this case it is necessary to configure the
subordinated device as RTU560.

This can be configured once per connected subordinate device.

Parameter:

 11 Status Change

11.1 Offline to Online

If the status of a subordinate device changes from OFFLINE to ONLINE, a general

interrogation command is sent to the concerning device(s)

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) with value 0 is sent as SPI to the internal
communication for every device that has changed its state to ‘online’, and is transmitted
by a Host Communication Interface with RP570/71 Protocol as TSTA 3 Bit 0 with the
address of the subdevice.

11.2 Online to Offline

If the status of a subordinate device or line changes from ONLINE to OFFLINE all
configured data points connected to this device are sent to the internal communication
with the actual state, marked as INVALID and with the time stamp of the own RTU.

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) with value 1 is sent as SPI to the internal
communication for every device that has changed its state to ‘offline’, and is transmitted
by a Host Communication Interface with RP570/71 Protocol as TSTA 3 Bit 0 with the
address of the subdevice.
