Abstract

Defines the electrical interface characteristics (e.g. signals, impedances, and the like) which have to be met at the shared boundaries. It is one of a series of Standards applicable to telecontrol equipment systems. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 60870-3:1989.
