Configuration
FIGURE 4–5: Setpoints Page 1 – PQM Setup / DNP Communications
• DNP PORT: Select the appropriate PQM port to be used for DNP protocol. The COM2 
selection is only available if T1 or T20 option is installed in the PQM. Each port is 
configured as shown in FIGURE 4–4: Setpoints Page 1 – PQM Setup / Communication 
Ports on page 4–7.
• DNP SLAVE ADDRESS: Enter a unique address from 
0 to 255 for this particular PQM. 
The address selected is applied to the PQM port currently assigned to communicate 
using the DNP protocol. Although addresses do not have to be sequential, no two 
PQMs that are daisy chained together can have the same address or there will be 
conflicts resulting in errors. Generally each PQM added to the link will use the next 
higher address.
• DNP TURNAROUND TIME: Set the turnaround time to zero if the RS232 port is being 
used. The turnaround time is useful in applications where the RS485 converter without 
RTS or DTR switching is being employed. A typical value for the delay is 30 ms to allow 
the transmitter to drop in the RS485 convertor.
