In this project coupling computers from the german company Dr. Graband & Partner GmbH are used to connect 53 railway point heater controls to the ipConv protocol converter. The Dr. Graband & Partner GmbH, Master protocol stack was implemented for the TCP/IP network communication.

The Vicos RSC control centre is connected to the ipConv protocol converter via the IEC 60870-5-104, Slave protocol stack using the existing network. There is also an NTP server available in this network. The ipConv protocol converter is a client of this server, as well as an NTP server for the coupling computers. This makes time synchronization between two different networks possible.
