6. Move down to the next cell (RP1 Parity). This cell controls the parity format used in the data frames.
The parity can be set to be one of None, Odd or Even. Make sure that the parity format selected on
the IED is the same as that set on the master station.

7. If the optional fibre optic connectors are fitted, the RP1 PhysicalLink cell is visible. This cell controls
the physical media used for the communication (Copper or Fibre optic).

8. Move down to the next cell (RP1 Time Sync). This cell sets the time synchronisation request from the
master by the IED. It can be set to enabled or disabled. If enabled it allows the DNP3.0 master to
synchronise the time.

3.2.1 DNP3 CONFIGURATOR
A PC support package for DNP3.0 is available as part of the supplied settings application software (MiCOM
S1 Agile) to allow configuration of the device's DNP3.0 response. The configuration data is uploaded from
the device to the PC in a block of compressed format data and downloaded in a similar manner after
modification. The new DNP3.0 configuration takes effect after the download is complete. To restore the
default configuration at any time, from the CONFIGURATION column, select the Restore Defaults cell then
select All Settings.
In MiCOM S1 Agile, the DNP3.0 data is shown in three main folders, one folder each for the point
configuration, integer scaling and default variation (data format). The point configuration also includes
screens for binary inputs, binary outputs, counters and analogue input configuration.
3.3 IEC 60870-5-103 CONFIGURATION
To configure the device:
1.
Select the CONFIGURATION column and check that the Comms settings cell is set to Visible.
2. Select the COMMUNICATIONS column.
3. Move to the first cell down (RP1 protocol). This is a non-settable cell, which shows the chosen
communication protocol – in this case IEC 60870-5-103.
