The IEC 60870-5 driver supports 1-, and 2-bit Digital Input points and Digital Output points.
Configure the properties of each digital point using the fields on the IEC 60870-5 Digital Input Point Form, or the IEC 60870-5 Digital Output Point Form, as appropriate. Each Form has several tabs.
For both IEC 60870-5 Digital Input Points and IEC 60870-5 Digital Output Points, use the Digital Point tab to:
- Configure the General Point Properties
- Configure the Point States (see Define the Point States for a Digital Point in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration)
- Configure the Override Properties (see Define whether a Digital Point can be Overridden in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration)
- Configure the Trend Properties (see Define a Digital Point’s Trend Settings in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration)
- Configure the Logged Data Properties (see Processing Alarm Data for Point States in the ClearSCADA Guide to Advanced Drivers).
For IEC 60870-5 Digital Input Points, also use the Digital Point tab to:
- Specify how ClearSCADA Interprets an Input Point’s Cause of Transmission
- Specify the Type of Point Data that ClearSCADA is to Store Historically.
For IEC 60870-5 Digital Output Points, use the Control tab to:
- Configure the control actions (see Define the Output Actions in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration)
- Specify whether any Outstations are given Scanning Priority whenever a Control Action is Issued (see Promoting Scanning of Outstations Associated with Controls in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration)
- Specify the Format in which to Transfer Control Data
- Specify the Default Control Action
- Configure the Common IEC 60870-5 Point Control Properties.
For information on the properties on other tabs, see Tabs on Point Forms in the ClearSCADA Guide to Advanced Drivers.
