IEC60870-5 User Group Maillist Information

This maillist was established as a result of discussions at the IEC Technical Committee 57 Working Group 03 meeting in Lucerne (April 1998) concerning the likely interoperability of products claiming to conform to IEC 60870-5-101, the desire of users to obtain "plug and play" products, and how best to help users and suppliers interpret the standard in a consistent way. The objective of this maillist is to create a place implementers and users of IEC 60870-5 can discuss different interpretations of the specifications in an effort to establish a consensus opinion on each topic.

This maillist is open to anyone with an interest in IEC 60870-5 and there are no membership fees. Topics regarding any of the profiles (-101, -102, -103, and/or -104) may be submitted to the maillist. The maillist is administered by Jim Coats. We have adapted guidelines similar to the SCADA mailing list http://www.iinet.net.au/~ianw/mailst.html and would like to thank Ian Wiese for the use of these time tested procedures.

This maillist is NOT administered by or for the IEC. While many members of IEC Technical Committee 57 Working Group 03 may participate in this maillist, the opinions expressed are not representative of Working Group 03. Anyone subscribing to the IEC 60870-5 User Group Maillist is welcome to respond to a message. The information provided is simply helpful advice and no liability for the correctness of the information is given by the author of each message or by the administrator of this maillist.

If your company has implemented or uses the IEC 60870-5 protocol, please make sure it is listed on the Implementers of IEC 60870-5 page. If you know of additional information you would like to see posted on this website, please notify Jim Coats.
