What is BS EN 60870-5-4 - Definition and coding of application information elements about?
BS EN 60870-5-4 is the fourth subpart of the fifth part of the multiple series that applies to telecontrol equipment and systems with coded bit serial data transmission for monitoring and controlling geographically widespread processes.
Single information elements, sequences, or combinations of information elements may form an information object that is identified by an object address and by an object structures specification described in IEC 870-5-3.

Why should you use BS EN 60870-5-4 - Definition and coding of application information elements?
The profile is a set of one or more base standards, and, where applicable, the identification of chosen classes, subsets, options, and parameters of those base standards, necessary for accomplishing a particular function
BS EN 60870-5-4 gives rules for defining information elements and presents a set of information elements, in particular digital and analogue process variables, that are frequently used in telecontrol applications.
BS EN 60870-5-4 presents syntactic rules for defining application-specific information elements. This will help you with rules comprise methods for semantic declarations, that is assignments of the functional interpretation of the defined information fields. BS EN 60870-5-4 applies the declaration method to the basic data types and particular subtypes of data. BS EN 60870-5-4 presents a set of information elements that are frequently used in tele control applications. This will help you to fix application profiles.
