BSI BS IEC 60870-5-6:2008 pdf free download Telecontrol equipment and systems — Part 5-6: Guidelines for conformance testing for the IEC 60870-5 companion standards
1Scope
This part of the IEC 60870-5 series specifies methods for conformance testing of telecontrolequipment, amongst Substation Automation Systems (SAS) and telecontrol systems,including front-end functions of SCADA.
The use of this part of lEC 60870-5 facilitates interoperability by providing a standard methodof testing protocol implementations, but it does not guarantee interoperability of devices. lt isexpected that using this part of lEC 60870-5 during testing will minimize the risk of non-interoperability.
The goal of this part of lEC 60870-5 is to enable unambiguous and standardised evaluation ofIEC 60870-5 companion standard protocol implementations.The guidelines and conditions forthe testing environment are described in this part of lEC 60870-5.The detailed test cases percompanion standard,containing among others mandatory and optional mandatory test casesper Basic Application Function，ASDU and transmission procedure，will become available astechnical specifications (IEC 60870-5-60x).Other functionalities may need test cases, but thisis beyond the scope of this part of lEC 60870-5.
This part of lEC 60870-5 deals mainly with communication conformance testing;thereforeother ‘requirements,such as safety or EMC are not covered.These requirements are coveredby other standards (if applicable) and the proof of compliance for these topics should be doneaccording to those standards.
