Each monitor point is identified by its Information Object Address or Point # Index
(it should be unique for each Common ASDU Address in the network). For each
monitor point, configure the following parameters:
Point #
- The information object address of the point. It identifies the point in the
network.
DB Address
- The database location in the 104C Module gateway associated
with the point. You must associate each point to a database address in the 104C
Module gateway. The interpretation of this parameter depends on the point type
configured. For example, for an M_SP_NA point, this value represents the bit
address. For a M_ME_NA point, this value represents the word address.
3.3.1 Monitor Information Objects Addressing
As discussed before, the Monitor information objects must be configured in a
database area in the 104C Module gateway.
The Monitor ASDUs are described in the following table.
