About this section3.1.
This section guides you in the configuration tasks required before you can start using
the DNP OPC Server. For information on the IEC 61850 data modeling, refer to the
COM600 User's Guide.
Start Communication Engineering Tool (CET) and either open a project where at least
one DNP OPC server is present, or where a new DNP OPC server is to be added. You
can also open and name a new project to include one or more DNP OPS servers.
1. Select File > Open/Manage Project....
2. In the Open/Manage Project dialog, select the required location for the project:
•
Projects on my computer.
•
Projects on network.
3. Select New Project on the left.
•
Enter a Project Name. The Description is optional.
4. Click Create.
5. Click Open Project.
Overview of configuration3.2.
Before you can start using the DNP OPC Server, you need to build and configure an
object tree in Communication Engineering Tool (CET) to define the Communication
structure within the Gateway object. An object tree contains the following branches:
•
Gateway
•
DNP LAN OPC Server
•
DNP LAN Channel
•
Logical Device objects
•
Logical Node objects
•
Data objects
After you have added the necessary objects to the object tree in the communication
structure, you need to configure them.
The configuration work can basically be divided into two separate tasks:
1. building the object tree, and
2. configuring object properties.
First, you need to build an object tree. This is done by adding objects to the object tree,
see 3.3.1, General about building object tree.
In the object tree communication view, you can see the DNP OPC Server object and its
child objects such as channels, devices, and data objects. After you have added the
