Introduction

To facilitate communications with the BMENOR2200H module, create data points for the IEC60870-5-101/104 communication protocols in the DATA MAPPINGS tab in the DTM.

Access the Configuration Tab

Access the configuration parameters on the DATA MAPPINGS tab in Control Expert:

Step

Check box

Indicates the background scan is enabled. (The check box is selected.)
Cyclic Data Transmission

Check box

Event Generation

Check box

Indicates that events for points can be configured.

Clearing Events in the Server

Clear_Events supports a new point type which clears the event buffer in DNP3 and IEC60870-5-101/104 servers. It enables the user to clear the events buffer in a local or remote SCADA through mapping memory.

To create Clear_Events for these servers, select Data Mapping.

When the value of the Clear_Events register changes, the BMENOR2200H module clears the events of the object group in the configuration.

Indicates the name of the located register.

Event Queue Setting Page

Configure the parameters on the Events tab to map the event queue status to the Device DDT registers in the controller. Each event queue status consumes one three-byte register.

NOTE: When the events number exceeds the configured buffer size, events are lost or overwritten.

Access the event queue configuration in Control Expert:

Step

Action

1

Expand: IEC10• Server<ServerName><DeviceName>

2

Make a selection in the Select Type Id pull-down menu on the EVENTS tab

3

Select the Add button to view the parameters for the selected type:

  • Event Store Mode

  • Max Event Count

  • Buffer Setting

  • Max Event Count-1
