The following topics are excerpted from a configuration file showing typical
examples of the DNPM Port of a CFG file for a DNPM port. Shipped with each
unit (or available from the web) is a default configuration file that can easily form
the basis for a working solution. This file can either be downloaded from the
ProSoft web site at www.prosoft-technology.com, or transferred from the module.
Refer to the ProLinx Reference Guide for information on configuring and
downloading .CFG files to ProLinx modules.
3.1 [DNP Master]
The [DNP Master] section of the CFG file sets the DNP 3.0 port communication
parameters and the protocol specific parameters. The following example and
table lists the parameters defined in this section:
[DNP Master]
Internal ID : 1 #0-65534 identification code for this unit
DNP Database Offset : 2000 #0-3999 Start of DNP data in internal DB
Baud Rate : 19200 #Baud rate for port 110-115200
RTS On : 0 #0-65535 milliseconds before message
RTS Off : 0 #0-65535 milliseconds after message
Min Response Delay : 10 #0-65535 milliseconds before response sent
# Collision Avoidance parameters
Collision Avoidance : N #Use Collision Avoidance (Yes or No)
CD Idle Time : 10 #0-32000 mSec min idle time before transmit
CD Time Before Receive : 12 #0-65535 milliseconds before receive
Variable Name Data Range Description
[DNP Master] This section header defines the start of the DNP Master
parameter set.
Internal Master ID: 0 to 65534 This is the DNP address for the module. All messages
assigned to this address from the master are processed by
the module.
DNP Database Offset 0 to 3999 Offset in which to place DNP data. Specifies the start of DNP
data in the internal database.
Baud Rate: Baud Rate
from Table Port Baud Rate: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
384 (38400), 576 (57600), 115 (115200)
