The IEC 60870-5-104 Client component provides access to IEC 60870 servers using the
http://eclipse.org/eclipsescada[Eclipse NeoSCADA] implementation.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their `pom.xml`
for this component:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-iec60870</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
----

== URI format

The URI syntax of the endpoint is:

----
iec60870-client:host:port/00-01-02-03-04
----

The information object address is encoded in the path in the syntax above.
Please note that always the full, 5-octet address format is being used.
Unused octets have to be filled with zero.

A connection instance if identified by the host and port part of the URI, plus all parameters in the _"id"_ group.
If a new connection id is encountered, the connection options will be evaluated and the connection instance
is created with those options.

[NOTE]
If two URIs specify the same connection (host, port, ...) but different connection options, then it is
undefined which of those connection options will be used. 

The final connection options will be evaluated in the following order:

* If present, the `connectionOptions` parameter will be used
* Otherwise, the `defaultConnectionOptions` instance is copied and customized in the following steps
* Apply `protocolOptions` if present
* Apply `dataModuleOptions` if present
* Apply all explicit connection parameters (e.g. `timeZone`)
