Overview
EN 60870-6-502:1996 (TASE.1) is a European adoption of IEC 870-6-502:1995 that specifies the protocol for the services provided by the Telecontrol Application Service Element No. 1 (TASE.1). The standard defines how telecontrol systems exchange process data between systems, ensuring interoperability of telecontrol equipment and systems. It is part of the EN 60870-6 family of telecontrol protocols and is designed to be compatible with relevant ISO standards and ITU‑T recommendations.
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose: Defines the protocol scope for the TASE.1 application service element to support process data exchange between telecontrol systems.
- Service definitions: Specifies the services the application-service-element provides for data interchange and system coordination.
- Protocol behavior: Describes required protocol behavior and message exchange procedures to support reliable telecontrol communication.
- Interoperability: Emphasizes compatibility with ISO and ITU‑T recommendations, enabling multi-vendor integration and standardized system interconnection.
- Conformance and implementation guidance: Outlines the normative definitions needed for implementers to achieve compliance and consistent operation across telecontrol equipment.
(Notes: This summary focuses on the high-level technical areas described in the standard extract. For implementation details and normative text consult the official EN/IEC document.)
Applications
EN 60870-6-502 (TASE.1) is used where standardized, interoperable exchange of process and control data is required between supervisory systems and remote stations. Typical applications include:
- Electric power utility automation - inter-control-center communications and wide-area telecontrol.
- SCADA integration - linking SCADA systems from different vendors for coordinated monitoring and control.
- Water and wastewater networks, transport infrastructure, and industrial control systems that require standardized telecontrol protocols.
- System integrators and equipment manufacturers - use the standard to design compatible telecontrol products and ensure multi-vendor interoperability.
Who Should Use It
- Utility communications engineers and system architects
- SCADA/telecontrol product developers and vendors
- System integrators and consultants in energy and infrastructure sectors
- Standards and compliance teams responsible for protocol interoperability
Related Standards
