IEC 104 Server Simulator

If you need to simulate server behavior with multiple nodes using the IEC 60870-5-104 stack, IEC 104 Server Simulator can help you with that.

The interface is formed of small selection scree, a preview window, and two main buttons, for adding or deleting servers. By clicking the "Add Server" button, you can notice that a server node is created along with its editable fields. As this is a professional tool, a rich user manual can be found under "Help > User Manual" for more technical info.

A small downside about the interface would be the impossibility to adjust its size; it can only run in full screen.

IEC 104 Server Simulator can support 50 server nodes. Every server node will work independently. The simulator window shows the status & connection IP address, port number, redundancy status, the redundant source IP address, port.

Also, you can update the monitoring Point information. The following parameters can change Value and quality bits.

The app presents sets of parameters and alternatives from which subsets must be selected to implement particular tele-control systems. This means that only one value of the defined parameters is admitted per system. Other parameters, such as the listed set of different process information in command and monitor direction allow the specification of the complete set or subsets, as appropriate for given applications.

To sum it up, IEC 104 Server Simulator is a good solution for testing the 60870-5-104 stack. Being able to add up to 50 server nodes and closely monitoring them make this tool decent choice. Note that this program targets a certain segment of users, so it cannot be used by anyone out there as it requires IT and programming knowledge.
