Feature abstract

In some cases of malfunctions, the iec104 slave will not respond to the connection establishment request or will not respond to the general interrogation request from the iec104 master. In this case, the iec104 gateway is expected to inform the centre about the data quality and/or close the connection with the centre if this mode has been activated.
