Dear Customer,

Yes, it is possible to operate the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol via the AXC F XT ETH 1TX extension module without any issues.
Please follow these steps:

  1. Configure the expansion module

    In PLCnext Engineer, add and configure the AXC F XT ETH 1TX PLC extension module and assign a valid IP address to the module.

  2. Bind the communication to the XT-ETH interface (optional)

    If you want the IEC 60870-5-104 communication to use only the XT-ETH module, enter the module’s IP address in the input parameter IN_LS15_BindIp of the function ReSy10x_ConnectMgTcpV06.

    If this parameter is left empty, the controller can be accessed through all available network interfaces.

  3. Configure the IEC 60870-5-104 connection

    Set up the communication interface and configure the required IEC 60870-5-104 objects according to your application requirements.

  4. Check the license

    Please make sure that the required IEC 60870-5-104 license is installed and activated on the controller.

  5. Download the project

    Once the project has been downloaded to the controller, the communication should start operating as configured.
