Chapter 1 Introduction

This manual describes the RX3i IEC 60870-5-104
IC695EIS001 (or EIS001 for short). By installing this module in the backplane of an RX3i controller, the
controller may be set up as an IEC 104 Server on an IEC 104 Network. This permits RX3i data to be
exchanged with the IEC 104 Clients on that network.
Introductory material may be found in this chapter. Chapter 2 provides installation and set-up
information. Chapter 3 provides configuration instructions. Chapter 4 describes system operation.
Chapter 5 provides diagnostic information. Chapter 6 covers the use and format of ladder logic
COMMREQ instructions used to set up and configure the EIS001 module and its interaction with the
IEC 104 Clients to which it is connected over Ethernet.
The appendices provide reference material for this application. Appendix D, Device Profile provides a
profile of the IEC 104 Server.
