IEC 60870 Client

Since Camel 2.20

Both producer and consumer are supported

The IEC 60870-5-104 Client component provides access to IEC 60870 servers using the Eclipse NeoSCADA implementation.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-iec60870</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The IEC 60870 Client component supports 4 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

defaultConnectionOptions (common)

Default connection options

ClientOptions

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

boolean

URI format

The URI syntax of the endpoint is:

iec60870-client:host:port/00-01-02-03-04

The information object address is encoded in the path in the syntax shows above. Please note that always the full, 5 octet address format is being used. Unused octets have to be filled with zero.

URI options

The IEC 60870 Client endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

iec60870-client:uriPath

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

uriPath

Required The object information address

ObjectAddress

Query Parameters (21 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

dataModuleOptions (common)

Data module options

DataModuleOptions

protocolOptions (common)

Protocol options

ProtocolOptions

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

exceptionHandler (consumer)

To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

ExceptionHandler

exchangePattern (consumer)

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. There are 3 enums and the value can be one of: InOnly, InOut, InOptionalOut

ExchangePattern

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

false

boolean

acknowledgeWindow (connection)

Parameter W - Acknowledgment window.

10

short

adsuAddressType (connection)

The common ASDU address size. May be either SIZE_1 or SIZE_2. There are 2 enums and the value can be one of: SIZE_1, SIZE_2

ASDUAddressType

causeOfTransmissionType (connection)

The cause of transmission type. May be either SIZE_1 or SIZE_2. There are 2 enums and the value can be one of: SIZE_1, SIZE_2

CauseOfTransmissionType

informationObjectAddressType (connection)

The information address size. May be either SIZE_1, SIZE_2 or SIZE_3. There are 3 enums and the value can be one of: SIZE_1, SIZE_2, SIZE_3

InformationObjectAddressType

maxUnacknowledged (connection)

Parameter K - Maximum number of un-acknowledged messages.

15

short

timeout1 (connection)

Timeout T1 in milliseconds.

15000

int

timeout2 (connection)

Timeout T2 in milliseconds.

10000

int

timeout3 (connection)

Timeout T3 in milliseconds.

20000

int

causeSourceAddress (data)

Whether to include the source address

byte

connectionTimeout (data)

Timeout in millis to wait for client to establish a connected connection.

10000

int

ignoreBackgroundScan (data)

Whether background scan transmissions should be ignored.

true

boolean

ignoreDaylightSavingTime (data)

Whether to ignore or respect DST

false

boolean

timeZone (data)

The timezone to use. May be any Java time zone string

UTC

TimeZone

connectionId (id)

An identifier grouping connection instances

String

A connection instance if identified by the host and port part of the URI, plus all parameters in the "id" group. If a new connection id is encountered the connection options will be evaluated and the connection instance is created with those options.

If two URIs specify the same connection (host, port, …) but different connection options, then it is undefined which of those connection options will be used.

The final connection options will be evaluated in the following order:

  • If present, the connectionOptions parameter will be used

  • Otherwise the defaultConnectionOptions instance is copied and customized in the following steps

  • Apply protocolOptions if present

  • Apply dataModuleOptions if present

  • Apply all explicit connection parameters (e.g. timeZone)

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using iec60870 with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-iec60870-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
