ProSoft Technology MVI69-104S IEC 60870-5-104 Server Communication Module – MVI69 Series
When a SCADA master station loses communication with its remote terminal units, the consequences cascade instantly — operators go blind, alarms queue up unacknowledged, and critical infrastructure decisions are made on stale data. In power distribution, water treatment, and oil & gas pipeline monitoring, a missing IEC 60870-5-104 server link is not a minor inconvenience; it is a safety and compliance event. The PROSOFT MVI69-104S eliminates that risk by embedding a fully compliant IEC 60870-5-104 server directly inside the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix or MicroLogix backplane — no external gateway, no additional power supply, no single point of failure outside the PLC rack.
Within the MVI69 product family — ProSoft Technology’s dedicated communication expansion line for the CompactLogix 1769 bus — the MVI69-104S occupies the role of the IEC telecontrol specialist. While other modules in the series handle Modbus, DNP3, or PROFIBUS, the MVI69-104S is purpose-engineered for IEC 60870-5-104 server operation over standard TCP/IP Ethernet, making it the preferred choice for utilities and infrastructure operators who must interface Allen-Bradley PLCs with energy-management systems (EMS), distribution-management systems (DMS), and SCADA platforms that speak the IEC 104 protocol natively. Its adoption spans substations across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas, reflecting the global reach of the IEC 60870-5 standard.

Key Features & Benefits
- Native Backplane Integration — Mounts directly on the 1769 bus; data exchange with the ControlLogix/CompactLogix processor occurs via high-speed backplane, eliminating serial bottlenecks.
- IEC 60870-5-104 Server Role — Acts as a controlled station (server/slave), responding to SCADA master poll and spontaneous data requests in full compliance with the IEC 104 application layer.
- TCP/IP Ethernet Transport — Leverages existing plant LAN or WAN infrastructure; no proprietary fieldbus wiring required.
- Spontaneous Data Reporting — Supports cause-of-transmission (COT) spontaneous reporting for time-stamped events, reducing polling overhead on the SCADA master.
- ProSoft Configuration Builder — Free Windows-based tool for module configuration, diagnostics, and firmware updates; no additional software license required.
- Compact Form Factor — Single-slot 1769 module; preserves rack space in space-constrained panel installations.
- Wide Industrial Temperature Range — Designed for harsh industrial environments typical of substations and remote field cabinets.
Industry & Equipment Applications
- Electric Power Utilities — Substation automation, feeder remote terminal units (RTUs), and distribution automation interfacing with EMS/DMS via IEC 104.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment — Pump station and reservoir monitoring where municipal SCADA systems use IEC 60870-5-104 as the telecontrol protocol.
- Oil & Gas Pipeline Monitoring — Compressor stations and metering skids reporting to pipeline SCADA over TCP/IP wide-area networks.
- Renewable Energy — Wind farm and solar plant controllers communicating generation data to grid operators using IEC 104.
- Building & Campus Energy Management — Large facilities integrating Allen-Bradley PLCs with energy-management platforms that require IEC 60870-5-104 server endpoints.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the difference between MVI69-104S and MVI69-104M?
- A: The MVI69-104S operates as an IEC 60870-5-104 server (controlled station), responding to a SCADA master. The MVI69-104M operates as an IEC 104 master (controlling station), polling remote RTUs or IEDs. Choose based on whether your CompactLogix PLC needs to act as the data source or the data collector in your telecontrol architecture.
- Q: Is the MVI69-104S compatible with CompactLogix 5380 (5069 bus)?
- A: No. The MVI69 series uses the 1769 CompactLogix bus. For 5069-based systems, ProSoft offers the PLX51 series. Please confirm your PLC catalog number before ordering.
- Q: Can the module support multiple simultaneous SCADA master connections?
- A: The MVI69-104S supports multiple TCP connections as defined in the IEC 60870-5-104 standard. Refer to the ProSoft product datasheet for the exact connection count supported by the firmware version on your unit.
- Q: What configuration software is required?
- A: ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) is the free Windows utility used to configure the module. It is available for download from the ProSoft Technology website at no charge.
- Q: Do you provide export documentation for international shipments?
- A: Yes. We provide commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin as standard. Additional documentation (e.g., EUR.1, Form A) can be arranged upon request.
