4.3.5 DNPNETDATA Object
This object stores all the process-related data for a MVI56E-DNPNET module. This includes
data for the primary DNPNET server port (DNPNET data set) and the data received from or
sent to DNP3 Ethernet server devices (IED data set) by the secondary DNPNET port when
configured as a DNP3 Ethernet Client.
Contained within this data object is an array for each possible data type. The array sizes are
set to match the maximum possible module configuration. If multiple MVI56E-DNPNET
modules are used within a rack, a copy of this structure will have to be made to permit each
module to have its own databases.
Each data type has its own set of unique block identification codes to distinguish the data
contained in the read or write block.
Name Description
DNPout Module's Server Database. Remote Clients Write into this DB.
IEDin Module's Client Database. The Client writes data into this DB that it
Reads from remote Servers
DNPin Module's Server Database. Remote Clients Read from this DB.
IEDout Module's Client Database. The Client reads data from this DB and
Writews it to remote Servers.
