FAQs

What is the N3uron IEC 104 Server module?

The N3uron IEC 104 Server module is a software gateway that enables seamless data integration between industrial assets and upstream systems. It acts as a protocol converter, exposing data from any source within N3uron (such as Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, or DNP3) to SCADA systems, utility control centers, and Dispatching platforms using the standard IEC 60870-5-104 protocol.

What are the key benefits of using N3uron's IEC 104 Server?

The module offers unlimited scalability with no licensing restrictions on tags or connections, ensuring it can grow with your operations. It simplifies architecture by combining data acquisition and server capabilities in a single node and provides reliable data delivery via N3uron’s built-in Store&Forward mechanism—when used in an architecture with N3uron Links—to prevent data loss during connectivity interruptions.

Which IEC 60870-5-104 data types and ASDUs does N3uron support?

N3uron supports a comprehensive range of Application Service Data Units (ASDUs) for both monitoring and control. This includes Single-point (M_SP_NA_1) and Double-point (M_DP_NA_1) information, Normalized (M_ME_NA_1) and Scaled (M_ME_NB_1) values, Bit strings (M_BO_NA_1), and Floating-point values (M_ME_NC_1). It allows easy mapping of N3uron tags to standard Information Object Addresses (IOA).

Can the IEC 104 Server module handle remote control commands?

Yes, the module supports Direct Execute for remote infrastructure control. It includes full support for Single (C_SC_NA_1) and Double (C_DC_NA_1) commands, as well as set-point command capabilities, allowing external systems to perform precise operations on connected industrial assets.

How does the module handle data interrogation from SCADA systems?

The IEC 104 Server is designed to respond flexibly to both General Interrogations (GI) and specific Group Interrogations. This ensures that external applications and SCADA masters can retrieve precise, synchronized data states whenever required, in addition to receiving spontaneous changes of state (unsolicited reporting).

Is the N3uron IEC 104 Server compatible with third-party SCADA systems?

Yes, it is fully compatible with all major utility-grade platforms and SCADA systems that support the IEC 60870-5-104 standard. It facilitates interoperability by acting as a bridge between disparate field protocols and centralized control systems.
