This software implements an IEC 60870-5-104 protocol tester. IEC 60870-5-104 is a commonly used protocol for data acquisition and control of power substations.
Directories: src - multiplatform qt sources, compile with QT 6.4.0 or later on any supported platform. bin - win32 x64 binaries built with QT 6.6.2. conf - configuration file
Can be used to poll substation data and issuing commands. The base protocol classes are pure C++ without any platform or non-standard library dependencies, can be used to develop software with other compiler/library/sdk. The software is part of a full substation HMI project (OSHMI - Open Substation HMI), it functions as a protocol module for the HMI, but can be used as a standalone protocol tester.
It's possible to send a General Interrogation ([GI] button) and log messages on the screen. At the right panel is shown a table with the following data columns: Protocol [Address] | Last acquired [Value] | ASDU [Type] | [Cause] of transmission | Quality [Flags] | [Count] of transmissions.
The protocol quality flags are: on / off / tra (double point transition) / ind (double point indefinite) / bl (blocked) / iv (invalid) / nt (not topical) / sb (substituted) / ov (overflow) / t (reg.step transition).
An optional configuration file can be used to store basic parameters, in the form of a INI file (qtester104.ini):
[BDTR] ; 0 (default): Normal operation mode ; 1: Force to be primary when in redundant mode ; FORCE_PRIMARY=0
[IEC104] PRIMARY_ADDRESS=1 ; link address of the primary station (computer)
[RTU1] ; communicates with only one RTU in this version SECONDARY_ADDRESS=2 ; protocol link address of the RTU IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.1 ; IP address of the RTU ; IP_ADDRESS_BACKUP=192.168.1.2 ; IP address of the BACKUP RTU ALLOW_COMMANDS=1 ; 1=allow sending commands, 0=don't permit commands ; PORT=2404 ; Protocol port (default=2404) ; GI_PERIOD = 330 ; time period in seconds for general interrogations (default=330s)
