Communication with the control center is based on the established communication standard in accordance with IEC 60870-5-104. This ensures that telecontrol and instrumentation and control devices and systems from Siemens or other vendors can communicate with each other without any fundamental adaptation developments. The degrees of freedom of the standard allow different vendor-specific profiles (e.g. the frame types and functions used). The profiles can be coordinated with each other with the help of an interoperability list. This standard has become widely used, especially in European and Asian areas. The IEC 60870-5-104 telecontrol protocol is also suitable as a field or station bus. Use as a station bus also enables direct communication between the individual devices.
