**DataSets**

DataSet identifier

DataSetCount

Total number of DataSets that follow

DataSetDeclaration

A series of parameters separated by a colon. DataSetName: Unique name of a DataSet; Delay: A delay, in seconds, so that a Server starts monitoring points of this DataSet after starting execution; Interval: Time interval among Server reports, in seconds, used by the IntervalTimeout option in the DSConditionsRequested parameter; TLE: Time limit for execution, in seconds; BufferTime: Time interval to keep in memory changing events in objects before sending a report, in seconds; IntegrityCheck: Time value for an integrity check when the IntegrityTimeout condition is used, in seconds. It is only significant when the RBE parameter is equal to 1 (one); DSConditionsRequested: A byte whose five most significant bits represent a bit mask with instructions for monitoring an ICCP Server (Bit 7: IntervalTimeout. Periodic sending, Bit 6: IntegrityTimeout. Valid only if the RBE option is selected, Bit 5: ObjectChange, Bit 4: OperatorRequest, Bit 3: OtherExternalEvent, Bit 2: Not used, Bit 1: Not used, and Bit 0: Not used); BlockData: Enables a message compression if configured to 1 (one) or disables compression if configured to 0 (zero); Critical: Asks for a confirmation from ICCP Clients for each report if configured to 1 (one) and does not require confirmation if configured to 0 (zero); RBE: Enables a report by the exception mechanism if configured to 1 (one) or disables a report by the exception mechanism if configured to 0 (zero); ReportAllException: If configured to 1 (one), informs a Server to report all changes on the monitored points. If configured to 0 (zero), informs a Server to report only the value of the last monitored point when the report was generated

**DataValues**

DataValue identifier

DataValueCount

Total number of DataValues that follow

DataValueDeclaration

A series of parameters separated by a colon. DataSetIndex: DataSet index (previous section) that reports this DataValue, starting at 1 (one). Configure as 0 (zero) if there is no DataValues to report; TagName: Unique name of this DataValue; DataType: Select one of the pre-defined ICCP data types: Discrete, DiscreteQ, DiscreteQTimeTag, DiscreteQTimeTagExtended, DiscreteExtended, Real, RealQ, RealQTimeTag, RealQTimeTagExtended, RealExtended, State, StateQ, StateQTimeTag, StateQTimeTagExtended, or StateExtended; Scope: Local (ICC, 1) or Global (VCC, 0); SourceType: 0 (Telemetered), 1 (Calculated), 2 (Entered), or 3 (Estimated); AllowWrite: Yes (1) or No (0); and Description: Optional description

**Devices**

Identifier of devices

DeviceCount

Total number of devices that follow

DeviceDeclaration

A series of parameters separated by a colon. DataSetIndex: DataSet index; Name: Name of this device; CmdType: CMD (C), SP_DISCRETE (D), or SP_REAL (R); Scope: Local (ICC, 1) or Global (VCC, 0); TAGGABLE: Yes (1) or No (0); SBO: Yes (1) or No (0); CheckBackID: Number expected to be returned by a Server when this device is selected and only used when SBO is equal to 1 (one); and Description: Optional description

**Messages**

Identifier of messages

MessageCount

Total number of messages that follow

MessageDeclaration

A series of parameters separated by a colon. InfoReference: Name of a message slot; Size: Maximum size; and Description: Optional description
