Communication protocol map resources

In case you are using one of the following communication protocols (DNP, IEC103, IEC101, IEC104, Modbus or SPA) you can find the units signal mapping in the relays aqs-configuration file. The aqs file can be loaded and opened with AQtivate-setting tool. The signal maps for all of the communication protocols can be found in Tools > Communication.


Each of the communication protocols have the option to save the signal maps into a txt files which can be then opened in table format in Excel or similar software.

Alternatively comm protocol maps can be downloaded from www.arcteq.fi/downloads.
