DNP3 configuration

[usmanriaz]

Hi,

I have the facing the following problems with DNP3 configuration and will appreciate support from the forum experts:

1 - In PVSS, where is the DNP3 Master address defined? This is the address to which the RTU should send its unsolicited responses.

2 - How is the configuration of Binary Command done in PVSS to latch/unlatch an internal RTU point? I have created a complex datapoint with the elements as described in PVSS Help, and I have assigned the Subindex to each element. But PVSS is generating following errror when I change the "original" value:

"PVSS00dnp3 (1), 2011.05.03 10:00:28.000, PARAM,SEVERE, 54, Unexpected state, Dnp3IDPOutstation, brmCallbackFcn, Outstation DNP3Ethernet: Request timeout"

Attached is screenshot of CROB complex Datatype parameterization

Thanks and Regards

Hi
You need to add the following to the config file, Master address (My address was 1)

[dnp3]
LinkAddress = 1;

Also see bitmap for DNP3 parameterization info


The error you are getting indicates that the master is not communicating with the RTU
The State should indicate connected
