Each IEC 60870-5 Slave Logical Outstation on a Geo SCADA Expert system represents a separate physical device or logical sector associated with an IEC 60870-5 Slave Direct Outstation (see Configuring an IEC 60870-5 Slave Outstation).
Use the Parent Outstation field on the Remote tab of the IEC 60870-5 Slave Logical Outstation Form to specify the IEC 60870-5 Slave Direct Outstation that is the Logical outstation’s ‘parent’ outstation. Use the field’s browse button to display a Reference browse window and select the required IEC 60870-5 Slave Direct Outstation from the window. (An IEC 60870-5 Slave Direct Outstation can be the ‘parent’ for multiple IEC 60870-5 Slave Logical Outstations.)
ATTENTION: Be aware that should the SCADA master lose communications with the parent slave outstation, it will also lose communications with any Logical outstations on that outstation.
