IED Unit 15 is to be polled.
Object type is 12 (Binary Output Control).
Variation of 1 (Control Relay Output Block).
Function 5 is for direct operate.
Slave address of 100 is starting point in IED.
Ten points are to be transferred.
DNP DB address of 200 is first source point.
IED DB is not used.
Poll command every 120-seconds.
2.3 Configuration File
In order for the module to operate, a configuration file (DNP.CFG) is required.
This configuration file contains information to set the data transfer characteristics
between the module and the processor, to configure the communication
information, to establish the DNP protocol parameters and to define the
databases required to hold the protocol data sets. Each parameter in the file
must be set carefully in order for the application to be implemented successfully.
Before editing the file, design your system using the forms located in the
Reference chapter of this document.
The configuration file is separated into sections with topic header names
enclosed in the [ ] characters. The configuration file consists of the following
topics:
[Section] Description
[Module] General Module configuration section
[DNP Slave] DNP slave protocol definitions
[DNP Slave Database] Database definition for the DNP slave driver
[DNP Slave Binary Inputs] Class assignments for each binary input point in the DNP
database. These assignments will override the default
setting.
[DNP Slave Analog Inputs] Class and deadband assignments for each analog input
point in the DNP database. These assignments will override
the default settings.
[DNP Slave Float Inputs] Class and deadband assignments for each analog floating-
point input point in the DNP database. These assignments
will override the default settings.
[Secondary Port] Communication settings for the secondary port on the
module (secondary slave or master port)
[DNP Master] Definitions of the DNP Master port on the module if utilized
[IED Database] Database definition for the DNP Master port to hold data to
interface with the IEDs.
