State the main differences between balanced and unbalanced communications of IEC 60870-5-101. [4 Marks]
IEC-101, balanced mode
Dial-up networks are point-to-point. If there is a single modem on SCADA side it can be
connected to a single RTU simultaneously
The balanced mode on IEC-101 means that either the RTU or SCADA can initiate the connection.
Dial-up networks are typically pay-per-time making it unpractical to keep the line constantly
connected. In this kind of system the balanced mode can be used to achieve higher
efficiency. The RTU will dial-up to SCADA when it has information to send.
The SCADA can also dial-up to RTU in order to make control or monitoring actions etc.
The Balanced mode is not practical on shared-media networks
where the centralized polling is required in order to manage the usage of the shared
resource.
Typically it is used on circuit-switched/dial based networks where the
connection cannot be always “on” for following reason:
IEC-101, unbalanced mode
Typically the RTU can be configured to the unbalanced mode but many RTUs additionally support also the balanced mode.
When the IEC-101 is used on unbalanced mode only the SCADA can initiate the connection to
RTU, not other way around. This also means that the SCADA needs to poll the RTU for events
quite frequently to get the required information.
