 An Overview of Telecontrol Technology
Centralizing distributed processes
Telecontrol is the answer where
geographically widespread processes
have to be controlled and monitored
centrally for economic reasons. The
up-to-date process data and fault
messages are passed from the
outstation to the central control
(master) station, and the latter
simultaneously passes setpoint values
and control commands to the
outstations.Typical fields of application
for telecontrol are water management,
Control and monitoring of
power distribution, natural resources
distributed stations.
management and traffic control.
Spanning great distances
Telecontrol technology is based on
the use of modems. Various types are
used, matched to the transmission
medium, e.g. telephone or radio links.
Moeller offers the ideal modem for
every transmission method.

Telecontrol to Companion
Standard IEC 870-5-101
The Companion Standard enables
communication between equipment
from different manufacturers.
Using telecontrol components from
Moeller, which comply with the
Companion Standard, outstations can
be established in optimum fashion.
Leased line is used as the transmission
medium.
Telecontrol via the SMS short
message service
Messages such as system states or
faults can be transmitted directly from
the PLC to a mobile phone, a fax
machine or as an e-mail to a PC.
Moreover, it is possible to receive a
message via the short message service
(SMS) on a mobile telephone and
to allocate parameters or change
setpoint values in the system by the
same medium.

Three options -
one common benefit
Whichever telecontrol solution you
decide on, you benefit from the
capability of the PS4 controller system
from Moeller.
System compatibility
Moeller has integrated the telecontrol
components into the PS4 controller
system and they are optimally matched
to the system. The modules can be
connected directly to the PLCs.
The telecontrol components are
integrated into the PS4 controller
system from Moeller.
Flexibility
All PLCs from the PS4 range can be
used as master stations and/or as
outstations.
Programming to the Standard
Programming of the telecontrol
modules is carried out using Sucosoft
S40, the same tool as is used for
programming the PLCs. Sucosoft S40
complies with the international
Standard IEC 1131-3 thus enabling
programming in the languages IS,
LD and FBL.
Straightforward engineering with
application modules
To facilitate engineering, Moeller offers
two application modules - dial-up and
leased line. The integrated function
blocks allow rapid, straightforward
setting up of telecontrol stations.

Flexible Communication
via Different Paths

A modular PLC

to 8 telecontrol
cards. Up to 32
stations can be
connected to
each card.

Process control station

Correct connection Combination is no problem

The data from all the outstations flow
together into the master station. For
technical reasons transmission method
and transmission medium are in many
cases predefined for this purpose.
The most appropriate modem for
each transmission method
In each case, the modem used is
selected to suit the transmission
medium. Moeller has chosen the
appropriate modem for every type
of link.
With a dial-up connection, it is often
necessary to use different transmission Leased line radio
methods between two stations. The (partyline)
master station, for example, may
have an analog terminal, and the
out-stations require connection via
GSM. With Moeller this is not a
problem. The transmission media
can be combined depending on the
modems used.

The number of telecontrol
modules that can be
connected to a compact

Function blocks for communication
and connection
Telecontrol function blocks carry out
data communication. The connection
of a dial-up line is set up via call
function blocks. The function blocks for
the application are selected from the
application modules. Function blocks
are available for:
• Master stations (primary stations)
• Outstations (secondary stations)
• Compact and modular PLCs
• Establishing links and
telecontrol communication
Direct data access
The telecontrol function modules/
cards enable direct data access via
transmit- and receive data frames
for each station connected. The data
from all secondary stations are
simultaneously available to the primary
station. The application receives the
data from the secondary stations
via simple read commands, and can
prepare data for the secondary stations
via write commands.
User-friendly telecontrol services
Very simple outstations, but also
complex master stations, can be set
up conveniently using the available
telecontrol services. Services, from
simple continuous cyclical data ex-
change to “Synchronize clocks” or
“Read data from memory card”, are
offered for this purpose.
The telecontrol services (see Overview
of Technical Data) are divided into
three groups:
• Variable access services
• Support services
• Remote control services
Clear structuring of application data
The data field of a station can be
divided into blocks. Application data
can thus be structured clearly. The
operational data of an outstation, for
example, can be stored in the blocks
according to time period, or the station
data (all temperatures, all fill states
etc.) can be combined in logical
sequence.
Master station
Transmit
Application
Receive
Various operating modes
The function blocks for the leased line
offer various operating modes.
They automate data communication.
Depending on the operating mode
used, they minimize the portion of the
application involved in data transfer.
Thus, for example, the exchange of
data between master station and all
connected outstations is carried out
entirely automatically in continuous
cyclical operating mode.
Configurable dial-up repetition and
link monitoring
The quantity of dial-up repeats and the
time-out interval between two dial-up
repeats can be configured. Monitoring
the link means that the origin of a
broken connection is immediately
indicated.
Data protection via password
Data protection is important, especially
when data, as with a dial-up line, are
transmitted via a public communication
network.
Moeller makes available various options
for protecting your data.

Master station The structure of a master station

The efficient PS416 modular PLC
controls the master station, while at
Profibus the same time communicating with
the outstations via telecontrol. The
outstations are linked to the master
station via private cable connection
or via the public telephone network.
In view of the differing transmission
media, two PS416-TCS-200 telecontrol
cards are installed in the PLC.
PC with SCADA Modular PLC
Connected to those are a leased line
modem and a dial-up modem for ISDN.
The telecontrol function blocks for
leased and dial-up lines, enable
communication with the outstations
to be carried out in both directions,
i.e. control and monitoring. Operation

Modules for the versatile
compact PLC
ZB4-501-TC1 and ZB4-501-TC2 are
telecontrol modules for Moeller
compact PLCs. They are connected to
the PLCs via the Suconet K fieldbus.
The card is coupled to a modem via the
RS232 serial interface. Depending on
the function block used, the modules
support the five different transmission
methods and up to 16 slaves.
• Direct connection
The ZB4-501-TC1 telecontrol module
includes the connecting cable for
fieldbus connection to the compact
PLC. Data cable and power supply
are therefore already provided. The
card is especially suited for setting up
stations in which one transmission
method is sufficient.
The card for the flexible,
modular PLC
PS416-TCS-200 is the telecontrol card
for the PS416 modular PLC from
Moeller. Up to 8 telecontrol cards can
be installed in the PS416 rack. The card
is connected to a modem via the RS232
serial interface. Master stations and
outstations can be set up using this
card. The card supports 3 different
transmission methods and up to 32
slaves, depending on the function
block used.
Excellent connections via modem
In telecontrol, data exchange between
stations takes place via modem. Various
modems are available for the different
transmission methods. Moeller has
selected modems that are designed
for industrial application and can be
optimally combined with Moeller
automation components.

• Freely configurable for several

cards
Where various transmission methods
are required in one station, or where
in excess of 16 slaves are present, the
ZB4-501-TC2 module is used.
Because the slave address of this
module is freely configurable at
the fieldbus, several cards can be
connected, such as for the various
transmission media. The module is
particularly suited for setting up
master stations with compact PLCs
that use several transmission methods
and have many slaves.

The telecontrol Standard IEC 870-5-101
is a user-oriented Standard (Companion
Standard). It is based on IEC 870-5 and
enables compatibility between devices
from different manufacturers. The
Standard makes a wide range of
alternatives available, for telecontrol
stations to exchange data with one
another. Different telecontrol systems
can communicate with one another
following consultation, provided they
have the same technical options.
The technical capabilities of a
telecontrol station are described
in the Standard in the Section
“Compatibility”, under 5 points.
Various alternatives are offered for
each of the points. By consultation
on these characteristics, compatibility
(see Technical Data) is ensured.
They are as follows:
