DNP3 Ethernet Client Backplane Data Flow
In Client mode, the MVI56E-DNPNET module issues read or write commands to server
devices on the DNP3 Ethernet network. These commands are user configured in the
module via the Client Command List received from the ControlLogix processor or issued
directly from the ControlLogix processor (Special Function).
Command status for each individual command is returned to the processor in the command
list status block.
The following flow chart and associated table describe the flow of data into and out of the
module.
