 Report-by-Exception data is logged to the module’s database
 Supports unsolicited messaging
 Each DNP3 Ethernet point type is user-configurable in the DNPNET Controller tags of
RSLogix 5000 software
 Class assignments are user-definable on a Type and point basis (BI, AI, FI, DI point
types)
 Supports clock synchronization from a remote Client or from the processor
 Up to 20,000 events are stored for Binary Inputs, Analog Inputs, Floats and Double
Inputs. This varies based on point types in the table above.
Client Specifications
The DNP3 Ethernet port can be configured as a virtual DNP3 Ethernet Client device that
actively issues user-defined DNP3 Ethernet commands to nodes on the network.

The Module supports 300 user defined commands, each one containing its own set of
data link and application layer characteristics
 Client logically supports up to 40 server devices
 Individual command configuration includes conditional or continuous polling and Poll
Delay Time
 Server status and Command status available for transfer to the processor
 Event data received from the server devices updates the module database with the
latest data values. Optionally date and time stamped data can be passed to the
processor through a special block 9903 that is enabled/disabled through the parameter
Pass Event Messages to PLC within the configuration of the module. When this option is
used, events from the attached servers are passed to an array in the ladder logic
containing the event data (server device, point index, point value) as well as the time
stamp of the event from the attached server device (value is presented as the 64 bit
UCT time matching the ControlLogix processor date/time format).
 Special command handling for Digital Output CROB under processor control for pulse
output control
