2.3.3 DNPS Port - Error and Status
The serial port (DNP 3.0 Slave) Error and Status Data areas are discussed in this
section.
The data area is initialized with zeros whenever the module is initialized. This
occurs during a cold-start (power-on), reset (reset push-button pressed) or a
warm-boot operation (commanded or loading of new configuration).

DNP Slave Port total number of
message frames received by slave
This value represents the total number of
message frames that have matched this
slave’s address on this port. This count
includes message frames that the slave
may or may not be able to parse and
respond.
1011
DNP Slave Port total number of
response message frames sent
from slave
This value represents the number of
good (non-error) responses that the
slave has sent to the master on this port.
The presumption is that if the slave is
responding, the message was good.
Note: This is a frame count.
1012
DNP Slave Port total number of
message frames seen by slave
This value represents the total number of
message frames received by the slave,
regardless of the slave address.
