ASE2000 V2 Communication Test Set User Manual 164
26.4. DNP3 Simulation Sub-Tab
Newer versions of ASE2000 V2 display DNP3 features in multiple sub-tabs appropriate to the
current protocol (DNP3 Serial or DNP3 LAN/WAN) and operational mode (Exchange or Task
mode). The following topics discuss the RTU Simulation sub-tab settings. The RTU Simulation
sub-tab is accessible by rst selecting the DNP3 Serial or DNP3 LAN/WAN tab in the Properties
menu. (These settings were accessible from the Protocol tab in some earlier versions.)
26.4.1. DNP3 – Simulation Sub-Tab (Exchange Mode – Serial and LAN/
WAN)
Certain RTU Simulation properties can be entered from the RTU Simulation sub-tab in the
Properties menu below the DNP3 Serial or DNP3 LAN/WAN tab. Following is the RTU Simulation
menu for DNP3 in Exchange Mode.
RTU Simulation
Internal Indications – Denes Internal Indication ags to be set in messages transmitted by
the ASE2000. Clicking in the Internal Indications eld generates a pull-down list of all internal
indications (see above). Note that the Need Time (Time Synch) and Device Restart ags are
maintained by the ASE2000. Both are set at startup and cleared upon reception of appropriate
master station commands
Enable Unsolicited – Enables unsolicited data reporting in RTU Simulation mode. When
enabled, all input object messages with the Transmit ag checked are transmitted at the
congured frequency
Echo Controls – When selected, responses to select and operate commands are constructed
as echoes of the incoming request. When unchecked, values to be used in Select and Operate
responses must be manually entered into the corresponding exchange(s)
