ASE2000 V2 Communication Test Set User Manual 153
When a request is received, the ASE2000 matches it against the closest dened exchange. A
request for a single object only should match one of the default exchanges. A read for multiple
objects will match a user congured exchange for the same objects, if one exists. If such an
exchange is not congured, it will match a single object read for the last object in the list. For
example, a read for static analog and digital data (in that order) will match an exchange congured
with those two objects in the correct order. If such an exchange does not exist, it will match an
exchange with only digital data.
The importance of matching a correct exchange is to:
• Identify the exchange in the line monitoring and messages views. The name is selected from
the exchange matched
• In RTU Simulation mode, transmit the correct response. The response is generated from user
entries made in the matched exchange
To create a multiple object exchange:
• Highlight a similar existing exchange, such as Analog input
• Make a copy by highlighting that exchange and selecting Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste. You now
have two identical exchanges with the same name
• Highlight one of them and select Edit/Edit Exchange Properties. This generates the Exchange
Properties menu (discussed previously). A portion of the menu for an analog read exchange is:
In the case discussed, you want to modify this exchange to include both analog and binary input
points.
• Select the line underneath 30: Analog and, using the pull-down lists, create an entry for the
Binary object
• Notice a third line is created, allowing entry of more objects as required
• When nished, change the exchange name from Analog Input to something more meaningful
The modied exchange will now match a read message requesting both analog and binary input
data.
26.1.4. DNP3–VariationandQualierCodes
The variation and qualier code elds modify message transmission for Master and RTU
Simulation modes. They are not used to identify an incoming message.
Variations
Object group variations can be changed from a pull-down generated by clicking in the
Variation column for the correct object row. The variation pull-down list presents options for the
corresponding object group.
