DNP 3.0 PROTOCOL FOR F650
C.1 DNP 3.0 protocol settings
F650 units enable the programming of certain parameters related to DNP3 protocol. These parameters are called DNP3
protocol settings and can be modified from the front panel or from the Level 2 software. The F650 relay supports
communication with multiple masters (3) and maintains three separate groups of DNP3 settings. Each group of DNP3
settings is related to a single logical DNP3 slave device. The F650 relay is able to communicate simultaneously with up to
three different DNP3 master stations. Each master communicates with a different logical DNP3 slave, these logical slaves
appearing as separate physical DNP3 slaves. This is achieved by keeping separate set of settings, event queues and set of
states for each logical device.
Notice that it is necessary to set different DNP Address and TCP/UDP Port for each logical DNP3 slave device.
Time synchronization through DNP protocol is available from all three DNP masters that can communicate with F650.
However the date & time are taken from only one master at the same moment. It is recommended to use only one master
to do time sync through DNP.
