The number of elements for Frozen Counter Object is the same as the number 
of Counter Objects. For example, if 10 Counter elements were configured, 10 
Frozen Counter elements are generated in the controller internally. You 
cannot access the Frozen Counter database directly.
There is one buffer for Frozen Counter Object. Read the Frozen Counter Object 
before you send another request with Freeze function codes. If two 
consecutive Freeze function codes are received without Read operation into 
them for Frozen Counter Object, the values of Frozen Counter Objects are 
overwritten by the second Freeze operation.
If both 16-bit Counter Object File Number and 32-bit Counter Object File 
Number were configured in the DNP3 Slave Application Layer Configuration 
file, the 16-bit Frozen Counter Object starting index number is 0 and the 32-bit 
Frozen Counter Object starting index number of starts after the last index 
number for 16-bit Frozen Counter Object. For example, if 10 elements of 16-bit 
Counter Object were configured and 10 elements of 32-bit Counter Object were 
configured, the index numbers are:
• 16-bit Frozen Counter Object: From 0…9
• 32-bit Frozen Counter Object: From 10…19
When only one of the Counter Object File was configured, Index number starts 
from 0 for the configured object.
As an example, a Frozen Counter Config File is shown below. These files have 
10 elements for each. B34:0/0 and B34:0/1 can be configured for Class Level 0, 1, 
2 or 3 for DNP3 Index 0 of the 16 bits Frozen Counter Object File. B34:1/0 and 
B34:1/1 can be configured for Class Level for DNP3 Index 1 of the Counter 
Object File. Default Class Level is 0. Any other bits are reserved. So, in the 
example below, for 16-bit Frozen Counter Config File, Class Level of Index 0 is 
1(B34:0/0 and B34:0/1), Class Level of Index 1 is 2(B34:1/0 and B34:1/1), Class 
Level of Index 2 is 3(B34:2/0 and B34:2/1), and Class Level of other Indexes 
are 0.
