Example of IEC 60870-5-103 communication structure for a
substation automation system
IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol is mainly used when a protection IED
communicates with a third party control or monitoring system. This system must
have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103 communication messages.
When communicating locally in the station using a Personal Computer (PC) or a
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) connected to the Communication and processing
module, the only hardware needed is optical fibres and an opto/electrical converter
for the PC/RTU, or a RS-485 connection depending on the used IED
communication interface.

Functionality
M17109-38 v3
IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit serial
communication exchanging information with a control system. In IEC terminology
a primary station is a master and a secondary station is a slave. The communication
is based on a point-to-point principle. The master must have software that can
interpret the IEC 60870-5-103 communication messages. For detailed information
about IEC 60870-5-103, refer to IEC 60870 standard part 5: Transmission
