Product Overview
The IEC 60870-5-101 Client driver connects to IEC 60870-5-101 client devices in an electrical substation, including RTUs, IEDs, controllers, and gateways.
The IEC 60870-5-101 Client driver works in conjunction with KEPServerEX to provide connectivity and communications with HMI, SCADA, and Historian client applications.
