1.3. General
The Protocol Mapping Tool (PMT) is used to create and edit the protocol mapping
configuration, which is a cross-reference table between the application and the
communication protocol. This table defines what information can be accessed from
the device using the protocol interface. As REM 54_, REF 54_, RET 54_, REC 52_
and REX 52_ terminals are programmable devices which may run various
application setups (different sets of function blocks), the mapping is also
reconfigurable.
The mapping can contain a lot of information the device needs, but which is not
necessarily important for viewing and changing from the configuration engineering
point of view. Therefore, the mapping will be presented as a list of accessible
protocol points instead of a spreadsheet-like table with all the rows and all the
attributes.
The Protocol Mapping Tool uses the relay configuration project to create a mapping
for a given application. After a mapping has been created, the user can modify it by
removing or adding points, changing their order and creating protocol compositions,
such as user-defined registers (bit-field and analog) or control structures.

2.1. Protocol Mapping Tool Wizard

The Protocol Mapping Tool Wizard enables a quick start to create a mapping. The
Wizard starts automatically when the Protocol Mapping Tool is started from the
CAP 505's Project Structure Navigator window. The Protocol Mapping Tool Wizard
can be called any time, provided that the Create New Mapping option is selected in
the main menu or toolbar.
The Wizard guides the user through:
Creating a new mapping
Opening an existing mapping
Importing a mapping
Deleting a mapping
The Protocol Mapping Tool gets most of the necessary information directly from the
CAP 505 project, i.e. the relay application the user has been working on and the
selected add-on protocol.
The Protocol Mapping Tool Wizard is described in detail in Section 4.1. Protocol
Mapping Tool Wizard.
2.2. Protocol Mapping Tool

The editing features of the Protocol Mapping Tool are available when the user
proceeds through all the steps of the Wizard and the Protocol Mapping Tool is
shown.
The Protocol Mapping Tool is able to:
Add new points to a mapping
Remove points from a mapping
11
CAP 505 1MRS755277

Operation Manual
Change the addresses and the order of points within a whole data category
Change the conversion factors of analog points
Add predefined structures to a mapping
Manage event definitions mapped as points within mapping
Export mapping information into HTML or text documents
The Protocol Mapping Tool provides certain features available exclusively for a
selected protocol and/or terminal, e.g. an unsolicited reporting disabling and
enabling provided for DNP 3.0 dependent mappings.
The Protocol Mapping Tool is described in detail in Section 4.2. Protocol Mapping
Tool.
2.2.1. Working modes

The Protocol Mapping Tool provides working modes to force some limitations
during mapping editing. The Protocol Mapping Tool supports the following
working modes:
Basic (default mode)

In the basic mode the user is allowed to modify only existing points. It is not possible
to add or remove points within a mapping. The total number of points and their types
is fixed.
The following features are available when editing a mapping:
DNP 3.0
Conversion factor editing
Class assignment
Unsolicited reporting flags enabling/disabling
Modbus
The basic working mode is useful when the user needs to only slightly change
settings in a mapping.
IEC 60870-5-101
General interrogation assignment
Measurement value format change
Data class (priority) assignment
Advanced
In the advanced mode the user can execute all the available editing features (i.e.
adding points).
Entering the advanced mode is not restricted, since the purpose of the two different
modes only is to minimize unwanted changes.
All the editing features are described in detail in Section 4.2.3.3. Mapping editing

Operation Manual
3. Quick start reference

This chapter contains a step-by-step description on how to create a protocol mapping
and how to activate a protocol for a relay. For details on how to add and configure
relay objects in general in CAP 505, refer to the Users Guide, the Tools for Relays
and Terminals manual and the Relay Configuration Tool manuals of CAP 505
(information can be found in Section 1.8. Related documents).
3.1. Configuring a relay object for REF 54_, REM 54_ and RET 54_
The Protocol Mapping Tool is an object tool in CAP 505. However, it is not
available by default in the Project Structure Navigator for a newly created relay
object, and is generally available only for certain relay types and revisions.
To be able to use the Protocol Mapping Tool, the relay object has to be configured
so that the selected SW configuration (SW library and its revision) supports one or
more add-on protocols. During the configuration, the support availability of the add-
on protocol can be seen from the "Add-on protocol" list contents (see Fig. 3.1.-1).
As an example, a REF 543 relay and Modbus protocol is used here. The figures are
captured from the current versions of the related tools, so they are only to be
regarded as samples.
config_ref
Fig. 3.1.-1 Configuring the REF 54_ relay object

Depending on the need, the appropriate add-on protocol has to be selected from the
list, as well as a proper "Apl configuration" (relay application).
13
CAP 505 1MRS755277

Operation Manual
After the selections have been accepted, the Protocol Mapping Tool will appear on
the Object Tools list (see Fig. 3.1.-2). However, if the Protocol Mapping Tool is still
not visible in the project tree, the selections in the configuration dialog must be
checked.
ref_object_tools
Fig. 3.1.-2 REF 54_ Object Tools list
3.1.1. Configuring a relay application

The protocol mapping is based on the relay application (relay configuration). If the
"Apl configuration" selection made in the configuration dialog (see Fig. 3.1.-1) is
not adequate, the Relay Configuration Tool must be used to create or modify the
relay application.
If the Relay Configuration Tool is used to modify the application, it is important to
remember to compile the application when it is ready. Only by doing this, the related
description files are updated.
If function blocks are added to or removed from the application

later, the protocol mapping must be changed accordingly or created
again.

Operation Manual
3.3.1. Configuring a relay application

The protocol mapping is based on the relay application (relay configuration). If the
"Apl configuration" selection made in the configuration dialog (see Fig. 3.3.-1) is
not adequate, the Relay Configuration Tool must be used to create or modify the
relay application.
If the Relay Configuration Tool is used to modify the application, it is important to
remember to compile the application when it is ready. Only by doing this, the related
description files are updated.
If function blocks are added to or removed from the application

later, the protocol mapping must be changed accordingly or created
again.
3.4. Creating protocol mapping

The mapping must be created and downloaded for REF 54_, REM 54_ and
RET 54_. The default mapping already exists in REX 52_ and in REC 52_.
It is not possible to add more points to the default mapping. The

available points are defined by the Protocol Mapping Tool.
3.4.1. Opening Protocol Mapping Tool

The Protocol Mapping Tool is opened by double-clicking its name from the object
tool list.
With REF 54_, REM 54_ and RET 54_ there are two cases, where
the opening might be prevented (see Fig. 3.4.1.-1 and Fig. 3.4.1.-2).
1. If no add-on protocol was selected during the relay object configuration, the tool
cannot be opened.
pmt_notification_1
Fig. 3.4.1.-1 Message shown during startup of the Protocol Mapping Tool, when
no add-on protocol has been selected.
2. If the selected add-on protocol is IEC 60870-5-103, the mapping is fixed in the
relay, and it needs not to be mapped by the Protocol Mapping Tool.

3.4.2. Creating new protocol mapping

When the Protocol Mapping Tool is opened, the wizard dialog will always be shown
first (see Fig. 3.4.2.-1).
pmt_wizard
Fig. 3.4.2.-1 Creating a new protocol mapping with the Protocol Mapping Tool
wizard.
The fastest way to create a protocol mapping is to select Create New Mapping from
the wizard dialog and accept the default values provided by the wizard until the
Protocol Mapping Tool dialog is opened. Then, if the default mapping is accepted,
the mapping is ready to be saved. Otherwise, the editing features of the tool can be
utilized.
19

Operation Manual
3.4.3. Exporting mapping data

When the protocol mapping is ready from the relay point of view, it is recommended
to export the mapping data to a file. This export file can then be used as a reference
when configuring the protocol master system (see Fig. 3.4.3.-1).
pmt_export
Fig. 3.4.3.-1 Functions to export protocol mapping data for master system
configuration.
3.4.4. Saving protocol mapping file

Before exiting the Protocol Mapping Tool, the created mapping must be saved. The
default mapping file name can be accepted or another name given (see Fig. 3.4.4.-1).

3.5. Downloading protocol mapping to REF 54_, REM 54_ and

RET 54_
Rdt_send_b
Fig. 3.5.-1 Downloading protocol mapping file to a REF 54_ relay
The following should be noticed when downloading a protocol

mapping file:
Downloading the relay configuration inactivates the add-on protocol and deletes
the protocol mapping. Therefore, also the protocol mapping must be sent again, if
the relay configuration is sent.
Due to the above, the protocol mapping must be received from the relay before
downloading the relay configuration, if the protocol mapping file is not available
elsewhere. The "RCT Project" does not include the protocol mapping file.
The protocol mapping file can also be downloaded separately, if the active add-on
protocol in the relay is the same as the one being downloaded.
The protocol mapping file for the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is never used; it
does not need to be downloaded and cannot be uploaded. Downloading this
protocol only activates the protocol in the relay.
After downloading the protocol mapping, the Store and Reset

functions must be performed to activate the add-on protocol.
22
1MRS755277 CAP 505
Operation Manual
3.5.1. Setting add-on protocol related parameters

If the object configuration has been made correctly, the Relay Setting Tool includes
the parameter page for the selected add-on protocol. If the parameters are not visible,
the relay object configuration must be checked and the relay applications compiled
again in the Relay Configuration Tool (see Fig. 3.5.1).
REM 54_ units do not yet support the setting of add-on protocol
parameters using the Relay Setting Tool. The parameters have to be
set locally.
rst_parameters

After setting and downloading the parameters, the Store function

must be performed to store the parameters to the non-volatile
memory of the relay.

3.5.2. Uploading protocol mapping from REF 54_, REM 54_ and
RET 54_
It is possible to upload the protocol mapping file from REF 54_, REM 54_ and
RET 54_. This is useful if the mapping in the relay has been modified or is unknown.
For more information, see Section 4.2.3.1. Opening of an existing mapping.
It is not possible to upload a mapping from an empty relay.

Fig. 3.6.-1 Downloading protocol mapping file to a REX 52_ relay
24
1MRS755277 CAP 505
Operation Manual
When downloading a new protocol mapping file to the relay, the

relay is switched from the protection mode to the configuration
mode. During this sending process all the protection functions are
disabled until the relay is set back to the protection mode.
Sending the protocol mapping file to REX 52_ is possible only with
the SPA protocol via the optical front panel connector. Rear
connectors (SPA or LON) are not supported for downloading.
However, receiving the protocol mapping from REX 52_ is possible
also via the rear connections.
The downloaded protocol mapping is taken into use immediately after a successful
mapping transfer and when the relay has been switched back to the protection mode.
3.6.1. Setting protocol related parameters

The protocol specific communication parameters are configured in the Relay Setting
Tool. When the settings are done, they are sent to the relay.

Operation Manual
The protocol mapping file for IEC 60870-5-101 can be downloaded either separately
or together with the configuration. Downloading of the relay configuration does not
affect the existing protocol mapping in REC 52_.
After downloading the protocol mapping, the Store and Reset

functions must be performed to activate the changes.
3.7.1. Setting protocol related parameters

The protocol specific communication parameters are configured in the Relay Setting

Paste operation is executed when the user:
Selects paste points in the Edit menu or
Selects paste points in the pop-up menu or
Clicks the following toolbar button or
paste
Uses keyboard shortcut: <Ctrl>+<V>

Cut points are always pasted just behind points being currently selected as a
destination location. If the user wants to paste cut points at the beginning of the data
category, a data category branch must be selected as a destination location.
The Protocol Mapping Tool does not allow moving points between different data
categories.
It is also possible to use drag&drop in order to move selected points within the
mapping tree.
Point dragging is started when the user clicks and holds the left mouse button over
the area occupied by selected points. During dragging all the dragged points are
marked as cut (their background color is red) and the cursor is changed (see
Fig. 4.2.3.3.-4):

Constant 0 points
A Constant 0 point is a special point that has a conversion factor equal to
DUMMY_0. All Constant 0 points always return 0 and have no special meaning.
Therefore, they can be used to fill gaps between two separated sub-ranges of points
within the same data category (see Fig. 4.2.3.3.-6).

Description Output state 3
If a mapping is read from a device, some points may have warning flags set. There
are four warning flags:
1. Invalid (entry for a given point contains invalid information - point removed
from the data map)
2. Corrected (the entry for a given point contained incorrect information and was
corrected by the device during mapping parsing)
3. No block (the device application does not have a function that contains this data
- point removed from the data map)
4. No object (the device application does have a function, but there is no such data
item - point removed from the data map)
Tree nodes, which represent registers with warning flags set, have different
background colors (see Fig. 5.2.-2):
Purple background color indicates object flag set
Light green background color indicates no block flag set
Yellow background color indicates corrected flag set
Red background color indicates incorrect flag set

tooltip_datac
Fig. 5.2.-4 Tooltip window for an addressed data category

The structure of the mapping tree during the editing of Modbus mapping depends on
the selected device.
Each Modbus mapping tree is composed of three kinds of data objects:
1. Data types
2. Data (sub)categories
3. Data points
The former two data objects are tree branches, whereas the latter one is always a leaf.
A Modbus-dependent mapping tree is composed of up to four Modbus data types
(main categories) and each Modbus data type is composed of up to five data
categories. All Modbus points are mapped into one of the available Modbus data
categories.
5.3. Mapping conventions
5.3.1. Mapping convention of REM 54_

Simple (1 to 1) mapping of application data into Modbus types
All read-only binary data (function block inputs and outputs) are mapped into
digital inputs
Switching device position (2-bit) is mapped into three digital inputs (open/close
state on two digital inputs and faulty state indication on the third digital input)
and additionally to an input register, containing a switch state encoded on 2 bits
(0 - middle, 1 - close, 2 - open, 3 - faulty)
Control operations are made via coils
All measurements are mapped into input registers
Parameters and settings are mapped into holding registers
Change detect flags are associated with binary inputs and outputs
User-defined holding registers are used for grouping selected data mapped into
digital inputs and coils or input registers
Fig. 5.3.1.-1 shows data categories for REM 54_.

5.4. Complex structures

Modbus mappings support complex structures. In some cases such structures are
composed of many registers presented as a compact undividable set of nodes within
a mapping tree.
Low Word/High Word Analog Registers

Low Word Analog Register and High Word Analog Register forms a structure of
two compact registers and are used to map 32-bit values (2 x 16-bit registers).
Fig. 5.4.-1 presents an example of a Low/High Word structure:
lowhigh_word_reg
Fig. 5.4.-1 Low and High Word Analog Registers

Appropriate Low and High Word Analog Registers cannot be split. These are always
next to each other and is treated as a single structure.
Analog points having an editable conversion factor

Some analog points have a conversion factor, which can be changed by using the
appropriate menu option. The editable conversion factors are:
Multiply by 1 (no operation)
Multiply by 10 unsigned
Divide by 10 unsigned
65
CAP 505 1MRS755277

Operation Manual

Multiply by 10 signed
Divide by 10 signed
Divide by 100 signed
Divide by 1000 signed
Analog registers having editable conversion factors are presented as single registers
with an additional description of the current conversion factor inside square brackets
(see Fig. 5.4.-2).
analog_reg_conv_factor
Fig. 5.4.-2 Example of an analog register having an editable conversion factor
User Registers (User-Defined Registers)

User-defined registers are used to map the different already existing data points into
a shared data category (user registers are mapped as Holding Registers within
Process data basic range/User-Defined data category).
A single user-defined register is able to load:
One analog register (Holding Register or Input Register)
Up to 16 binary points (Coils or/and Digital Inputs)
A User Register containing an analog register is called a user analog register,
whereas a user register containing up to 16 binary points is called a user bit-field
register.
Fig. 5.4.-3 below depicts the user registers within a mapping tree:
user_registers
Fig. 5.4.-3 Analog user register and bit-field user register

User registers are created as Holding Registers within the Process Data Basic Range
(alias User Defined Registers) data category. The user register's identification
number and its address are assigned automatically.
The user register's identification number is seen as a part of the name in the mapping
tree, i.e. the following description 'User defined register 3 [Bit field: 10 bits
assigned]' refers to the user register no. 3.
The description of a user register presented in the mapping tree contains an
additional section (bounded by square brackets), which describes the type and
content of the user register.
66
1MRS755277 CAP 505
Operation Manual
The information presented in a tooltip window contains an even more detailed

description of the user register: an identification number (i.e. User register 2),
register's type (i.e. Register type: bitfield) and a list of mapped registers (see
Fig. 5.4.-4 and Fig. 5.4.-5):
tooltip_modbus_ura
Fig. 5.4.-4 Tooltips for an analog user register
tooltip_modbus_urb
Fig. 5.4.-5 Tooltips for a bit-field user register

The Protocol Mapping Tool is able to manage up to 256 user defined registers in a
single mapping.
Pack Registers
Pack registers are supported only in Modbus-dependent mappings

created for REF 54_ and RET 54_devices.
Pack registers are provided for packing a sequence of digital signals in the order
determined by the order of coils on the Modbus map. Each pack register contains up
to 16 binary points mapped from basic and extended process data ranges of coils.
Pack registers are read-only registers, which are created automatically when a
mapping is created and updated any time a mapping is changed.
Pack registers are stored as holding registers in a separate data category (see
Fig. 5.4.-6).

Operation Manual
Creation of Constant 0 points
The user can insert a Constant 0 point by selecting the "Insert Constant 0" option:
In the Edit menu or
From the Edit window's pop-up menu
A Constant 0 point is always put just behind points selected as a destination location.
If the user wants to put a Constant 0 point at the beginning of the data category, the
data category branch must be selected as a destination location.
Constant 0 points are also used to replace not supported points during the mapping
file import.
Add 15 constant 0 points to the end of the data category. That makes
it possible to define the polling topic easier. The topic needs to be a
number of full 16 bits words. If the topic contains more bits than
exists in the relays data category, the relay answers nothing to the
poll.
Base address editing
The "Change base address" pop-up menu item allows the user to change the base
address of the selected data category.
As a result, all the registers within such a data category are readdressed.
A dialog box is used to enter a new base address (see Fig. 5.4.-8).
base_address_edition
Fig. 5.4.-8 Base address editor

The format of an edited address (either decimal or hexadecimal value) presented in
the base address editor depends on the format of the addresses presented in the
mapping tree.
69
CAP 505 1MRS755277

Operation Manual
The order of data categories within Modbus mapping
For Modbus mappings, readdressing is often connected with the

changing of the location of Modbus data categories to preserve their
correct order in the mapping tree, i.e. the given five data categories
within the "Holding registers/Input registers" data type (see
Fig. 5.4.-9).
modbus_addr_ed1
Fig. 5.4.-9 The order of Modbus data categories before the base address change
Changing the base address of the "Pack registers" data category (from address 1024
to address 510) will change the sequence of data categories as well - "Pack registers"
category is ahead of "Process data extended range" category (see Fig. 5.4.-10).
modbus_addr_ed2
Fig. 5.4.-10 The order of Modbus data categories after the base address of "Pack
registers" category was changed to address 510.
Apart from that, the overlapping check operation proceeded (it is active by default)
and moved the overtaken category (from address 512 to address 524) to avoid the
address conflicts.
Overlapping check
The Overlapping check can be started by selecting Check Overlapping in the

Overlapping submenu within the Edit menu.
This menu feature starts the procedure of the data category address range checking
within Modbus data types to determine whether any data category begins at a
memory address, which is reserved by registers belonging to other data category.
When that kind of memory arrangement occurs the overlapping check procedure
will change the base address of the latter data category (and move its registers into
a new location).
70
1MRS755277 CAP 505
Operation Manual
The Auto Check menu toggle in the Overlapping submenu within the Edit menu is
also available. It is used to enable/disable the automatic start of the Overlapping
check procedure each time the mapping has been changed during the editing.
By default, auto check is enabled.
User registers editing
The creation of a new user-defined register is started by:

Selecting the User Register menu item in the Create submenu in the Edit menu or
Selecting the following toolbar button or
create_ur
Using <Ctrl>+<U> keyboard shortcut

Since the Protocol Mapping Tool supports two kinds of user registers, the user has
to select the type for a new user register (see Fig. 5.4.-11).

Analog User Register

Selected analog data and data with integer values (measurements, counters,
diagnostic data, settings) mapped to holding registers can be replicated to the user-
defined holding registers by using the User Analog Register Editor (see Fig. 5.4.-
12).

1MRS755277 CAP 505
Operation Manual
Bit Field User Register

Selected binary signals, with or without their momentary change detect flags
represented by coils or digital inputs, can be mapped to bit positions in user-defined
holding registers. In this way holding registers can contain groups of binary signal
data. This grouping of binary signals enables more efficient data scanning in the
Modbus protocol.
Bit field user registers are created by using the User Bit Field Editor (see Fig. 5.4.-
14).
bf_ur
Fig. 5.4.-14 User Bit Field Editor

To add a new binary register to the edited bit field, select the required register in the
left tree and press the >> button. The added binary register is put into the first empty
slot presented in the right tree.
When the >> button is selected, the Protocol Mapping Tool checks the already
existing bit-field user defined registers to ensure that the selected binary registers are
not yet mapped. If a duplicate is found, a warning message as in Fig. 5.4.-15 will be
shown:
duplicates_binary

Operation Manual
If the Check duplicates before user register added option in the Settings menu is
unchecked, the PMT does not show any warning. The user can also quickly uncheck
this option when the warning is shown (see Fig. 5.4.-15 above).
To remove already added binary register, the user has to select such an item in the
right tree and press the << button.
The order of added binary registers can always be changed by using the drag&drop
operation.
The user is able to change any of the existing user registers:
By selecting User Register in the Change submenu in the Edit menu or

6. DNP 3.0
This chapter provides a detailed description of all the Protocol Mapping Tool
features supporting the DNP 3.0 protocol.

Fig. 6.1.-1 shows the Protocol Mapping Tool Wizard. First the user decides whether
to create a new mapping, open an existing one or import a mapping from a different
CAP project. It is also possible to delete mappings no longer needed.
wizard2_new

The user needs to choose the way of processing events and the point base addresses
of data categories.
Choosing the way of processing events

Some protocol points contain events and the user can decide how to process these
points (see Fig. 6.1.1.-1). Events can be removed later during editing, which is
described in Section 6.5. Mapping editing features.

Fig. 6.1.1.-1 Choosing the way of processing events
Add all available events

Unsolicited reporting flag is set the same way as in patterns (by default, set to
enabled = 1)
Add all available events but reset UR flags

Unsolicited reporting flag is reset for every event. Selecting this option causes the
device NOT to send any events spontaneously. This option should be used in
installation where communication is half duplex and there is no common system-
wide collision avoidance/detection procedure.
Create only static points without events

Events will be removed totally from the mapping. Instead, all the points will be
updated via background scan. This option should be used ONLY if the master
station does not understand events and does not perform class 1,2,3 scans at all.
Using this option will prevent event buffer overflows.

Supported categories and their default addresses are presented in Fig. 6.1.1.-2
below. Selected addresses can be changed later during the editing, which is
described in Section 6.5. Mapping editing features

6.3. Mapping conventions

The DNP 3.0 protocol supports the following mapping convention:
Binary input objects are used to represent the state of the digital input points
(hardware or software).
Binary output objects are used to represent the state of controllable binary points
(hardware or software).
Control relay output block information objects are used to make control
commands on binary output points.
Binary counters represent accumulated values. They can be accumulated pulses
or transitions from hardware or software points.
Analog inputs are information objects used to represent hardware or software
analog points. Their values can represent digitized signals or calculated values.
Analog output status information objects represent the actual values of analog
output points and associated statuses.
Analog output block information objects are used to set a new value for analog
output points.
Time and date objects are the objects that represent the time of day and date used
to perform time synchronization.
Internal indications are information elements used to convey internal states and
diagnostic results of a responding station.
Points from Timers and Internal Indications must always be present in mapping and
cannot be altered by the user. The user can change the content of Applications
category, but its base address cannot be changed.
6.4. Complex structures

DNP 3.0 mappings support:
Internal indications
85
CAP 505 1MRS755277

Operation Manual

Some analog points have a conversion factor, which can be changed by using the
appropriate menu option. The editable conversion factors are:
Multiply by 1 (no operation)
Multiply by 10 (signed)
Divide by 10 (signed)
Internal indications
Internal indication are information elements used to convey internal states and
diagnostic results of a responding station. This information can be used by a
receiving station to perform error recovery or other functions.
The definitions of internal indications are stored in a separate data category called
Internal Indications within DNP 3.0 mapping. The Internal Indication data category
is not editable and is composed of 16 binary points.
The meaning of 16 internal indications is specified in Table 6.4.-1 below:
Table 6.4.-1 The meaning of 16 internal indications:

Internal indication Meaning

6.5. Mapping editing features
The "Change base address" pop-up menu item allows to change the base address of
the selected data category. As a result, all registers within such a data category will
be readdressed. A dialog box is used to enter a new base address (see Fig. 6.5.-1
below).
base_address_dnp

The format of an edited address (either decimal or hexadecimal value) presented in
the base address editor depends on the format of the addresses presented in mapping
tree.
Removing events
This operation removes the event definitions from points defined within the
mapping.
The Protocol Mapping Tool provides two ways of removing events:
1. Removing all events within all the defined points either by selecting Remove
All Events in the Edit menu or by selecting the following toolbar button:
remove_events
2. Removing events within the currently selected points by selecting Remove
Events in a pop-up menu.
Such an action must be confirmed (see Fig. 6.5.-2).

7. IEC 60870-5-101
This chapter provides detailed description of the Protocol Mapping Tool features
supporting the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol.

Fig. 7.1.-1 shows the Protocol Mapping Tool Wizard. First the user decides whether
to create a new mapping, open an existing one or import a mapping from a different
CAP project. It is also possible to delete mappings no longer needed.
A050092

The user needs to choose the desired format of measured values, control command
type, addressing mode and, if continuous addressing mode was chosen, the base
addresses for data categories.
Choosing the format of measured values

In the IEC 60870-5101 protocol, measured values can be transferred as normalized
values (fraction of nominal value) or scaled integer values (original value multiplied
by some scaling factor known to the slave and master station). The user can decide
which format should be used (see Fig. 7.1.1.-1). The measurement format can later
be changed individually.

Preserve Default Value Format
Measurements will be sent by using the format designed in patterns.
Set Normalized Value

Measurements will be sent by using the normalized format.
Set Scaled Integer Value

Measurements will be sent by using the scaled integer format.
Choosing the control command type

Two types of control commands are defined in the IEC 60870-5101 protocol. In
Single Command the information about the desired position is encoded in the data
frame by using only one bit. In Double Command, two bit representation is used for
encoding the desired position.
The user can decide what type should be used (see Fig. 7.1.1.-2).

Fig. 7.1.1.-2 Choosing the control command type
The master station profile should be checked to choose the right

option. If you are not sure what convention is used, it is
recommended to select both types of commands.
Single and Double Commands

Both command types will be supported in the device.
Single Commands Only
Only single command type will be supported in the device.
Double Commands Only
Only double command type will be supported in the device.
Choosing the addressing mode

In fixed addressing convention all the data points will have default addresses. In this
convention, the address map will be compatible with REC 523 releases prior to
revision F.
If the master station does not accept some default addresses, continuous addressing
convention can be used. In this convention all the data points in each data category
(e.g. measurements) will be placed in continuous address order and each data point
will be assigned a unique address to avoid overlapping. Changing the order of points
in continuous addressing convention will always be possible.

Switching from fixed to continuous addressing convention is

possible at any time (see Section 7.5.1. under "Set continuous
address space"). However, the reverse operation is not allowed.

Starting offsets can be adjusted for each ASDU type. For convenience, addresses
can be given as decimal or hexadecimal values (depending on convention used by
the master station). See Fig. 7.1.1.-4 and Fig. 7.1.1.-5.

CAP 505 1MRS755277

Operation Manual
Double point information (M_DP) nodes are used to represent state of two bit
encodes binary points (hardware or software) such as breaker position.
Measured values (M_ME) nodes are information objects used to represent
hardware or software analog points. Their values can represent digitized signals
or calculated values.
Integrated totals (M_IT) represent the accumulated values. They can be
accumulated pulses or transitions from hardware or software points.
Bit strings in monitoring direction (M_BO) nodes represent values for reading
that can be treated as bit masks.
Strings in monitoring direction (M_SR) nodes represent strings of characters that
can be read from the device.
Single command (C_SC) nodes are used to make control commands on relays by
using one bit convention for encoding desired position.
Double command (C_DC) nodes are used to make control commands on relays
by using two bit convention for encoding desired position.
Set point commands (C_SE) nodes are used to set new value of analog output
points.
Bit strings in control direction (C_BO) nodes represent values for writing that can
be treated as bit masks.
Strings in control direction (C_SR) nodes represent strings of characters that can
be written.
Clock read command (C_CS) nodes represent devices current time of day and
date.
7.4. Mapping editing features

8. Troubleshooting
This chapter provides answers to some frequently asked questions.
Some menu and pop-up items are disabled all the time. How to
activate them?
Some menu and pop-up items are enabled only if the appropriate nodes are selected
in the mapping tree (the pop-up menu's "Change base address" operation is enabled
when a data category node is selected).
The second reason why a menu/pop-up item is not available all the time is incorrect
working mode. The Protocol Mapping Tool provides two working modes: basic and
advanced. Some editing features can be used only in the advanced working mode. If
you need more information about working modes, see Section 2.2.1. Working
modes The switching between working modes is described in Section 4.2.1.3.
Settings menu under Working Mode submenu.
Why does the Protocol Mapping Tool allow saving an edited

mapping in two types of files: mapping file and/or binary
mapping file?
The mapping file is a text file containing complete information about a certain
mapping, whereas the binary mapping file is a binary file having only a binary
representation of mapping without additional information (i.e. information on the
protocol mode required in Modbus dependent mappings for REM 54_ terminal is
lost).
The binary mapping files are still in use because only such files can be downloaded
into and uploaded from a terminal by the Relay Download Tool.
How to create a binary mapping file for the Relay Download

Tool?
The only way to create a binary file is to save the mapping file. The "Save binary
file" attribute must be checked in the Save dialog (see Fig. 8.-1):
105
CAP 505 1MRS755277

Operation Manual
save
Fig. 8.-1 Save mapping dialog

Saving a mapping file is described in detail Section 4.2.2.5. Selecting address format
(Hex/Decimal Points) under Saving an edited mapping.
What does it mean if "Cannot open file XXX.dat" messages are

shown when loading or creating a mapping?
Such messages are shown when the Protocol Mapping Tool's resources are
incomplete and the names of certain signals (maintained within loaded/created
mapping) are unrecognized. In this case all unrecognized signals are described by
the "Unknown signal" label.
The problem has no influence on how a mapping is processed by the Protocol
Mapping Tool.
What is the overlapping check operation and how does it work?

The overlapping check operation is provided only for Modbus mappings. It checks
the data category address range within Modbus data types, to determine whether any
data category begins at a memory address reserved by registers belonging to another
data category.
106
1MRS755277 CAP 505
Operation Manual
The overlapping check is also capable of moving all points belonging to one of the
data categories into the nearest unallocated location. Such an operation allows to
avoid possible conflicts between points having the same Modbus address. The
overlapping check is described in Section 5.4. Complex structures under
Overlapping check.
More information concerning the data category moving is available in Section 5.4.
Complex structures under Base address editing. If you need more information about
Modbus data types and categories, see Section 5.2. Mapping tree

Operation Manual
DB name
DB name is the signal identifier in the terminal. When so-called shadow points are
reported, the exported DB name will be composed of several identifiers separated by
a backslash "/".
e.g.
BI 0183 F200E20/F200E21 MECU3A-D: IL2 low alarm reset - - F200E20/
F200E21 - 0/1
Explanation
Description of the signal.
SPA event names

This field provides information concerning SPA events, which are associated with
an appropriate static point and are composed of event identifiers separated by a
backslash "/".
Scaling factor
This field describes the conversion factor applied for the appropriate static point.
For MODBUS protocol:
MUL_1000_SIGNED, MUL_100_SIGNED, MUL_10_SIGNED,
MUL_1_SIGNED, MUL_1000, MUL_100, MUL_10,NO_OPERATION, DIV_10,
DIV_100, DIV_1000, DIV_10_SIGNED, DIV_100_SIGNED,
DIV_1000_SIGNED
For DNP protocol:
MUL_1000, MUL_100, MUL_10, NO_OPERATION, DIV_10, DIV_100,
DIV_1000
For IEC 60870-5-101 protocol:
FLOAT_UINT, FLOAT_SINT10, FLOAT_SINT100, FLOAT_SINT1000,
FLOAT_SINT01, FLOAT_SINT001, FLOAT_SINT0001,
Read only
Marks whether a static signal is writable. Field may be equal to:
Y - readable only
N - writable/readable
112
1MRS755277 CAP 505
Appendix A
Event class
The event class column describes the class set for events associated with an exported
static signal.
The following single characters are used:
Table 4: Event class field values:

Value in event class field Explanation
1 Class 1
2 Class 2
3 Class 3
N Not assigned
Unsolicited reporting
Marks whether unsolicited reporting is activated. Field may be equal to:
Y - unsolicited reporting activated
N - unsolicited reporting turned off
Value range
This column provides a value range of the exported static point.
The field provides the real range of values possible for the static point (the value
carried by a protocol may be different because the appropriate scaling factor is taken
into account).
In case of binary signals the value range is always equal to 0/1.
Unit
This field provides the unit of measure of the exported point.
The field matters for analog static points only.
Data class
This column describes the data class priority set for the exported signals.
The following values are allowed:
1 - High Priority
2 - Low Priority
General interrogation group

Shows the general interrogation group assignment of the exported static points.
The field may be equal to:
0 - Not assigned to general interrogation
1 - Assigned to general interrogation
- - Undetermined (i.e. no static signal defined for this protocol point)
113
CAP 505 1MRS755277

Operation Manual
Measurement value format

Shows the scaling format of M_ME and C_SE analog values.
The field may be equal to:
N - Normalized (M_ME_NA, C_SE_NA)
S - Scaled integer (M_ME_NB, C_SE_NB)
For other data types, the field is always equal to "-".
Containers (such as pack registers and user-defined registers used in

MODBUS) are not specified, but their content is listed instead.
Contained points are described as common signals having
appropriate bit position within the container and its address.
