This software implements an IEC 60870-5-104 protocol tester.

IEC 60870-5-104 is a commonly used protocol for data acquisition and control of
power substations.

Directories:
src - multiplatform qt sources, compile with QT 5.9.2 or later on any supported
platform.
bin - win32 binaries built with QT 5.9.2.
conf - configuration file

Can be used to poll substation data and issuing commands.

The base protocol classes are pure C++ without any platform or non-standard library
dependencies, can be used to develop software with other compiler/library/sdk.
The software is part of a full substation HMI project (OSHMI - Open Substation
HMI), it functions as a protocol module for the HMI, but can be used as a
standalone protocol tester.

It's possible to send a General Interrogation ([GI] button) and log messages on the
screen.
At the right panel is shown a table with the following data columns:
Protocol [Address] | Last acquired [Value] | ASDU [Type] | [Cause] of transmission
| Quality [Flags] | [Count] of transmissions.

The protocol quality flags are:

on / off / tra (double point transition) / ind (double point indefinite) / bl
(blocked) / iv (invalid) / nt (not topical) / sb (substituted) / ov (overflow) / t
(reg.step transition).

An optional configuration file can be used to store basic parameters, in the form
of a INI file (qtester104.ini):

[BDTR]
; 0 (default): Normal operation mode
; 1: Force to be primary when in redundant mode
; FORCE_PRIMARY=0

[IEC104]
PRIMARY_ADDRESS=1 ; link address of the primary station (computer)

[RTU1] ; communicates with only one RTU in this version

SECONDARY_ADDRESS=1 ; protocol link address of the RTU
IP_ADDRESS=10.63.1.201 ; IP address of the RTU
; IP_ADDRESS_BACKUP=10.63.1.202 ; IP address of the BACKUP RTU
ALLOW_COMMANDS=1 ; 1=allow sending commands, 0=don't permit commands
; PORT=2404 ; Protocol port (default=2404)
; GI_PERIOD = 330 ; time period in seconds for general interrogations
(default=330s)
