DNP3 Slaveconfiguration
The workbench includes an integrated configurator for the DNP3 slave protocol. Please refer to the following topics:
Port
configuration
Variables
configuration
Data types
To establish the communication, run the Fieldbus configuration using "Tools / Fieldbus Configuration" menu command from the main window. Then select the "DNP3 Slave" configuration.
The configuration is represented as a single item in the configuration tree:
- DNP3 Slave configuration
You must specify the following properties:
|
Source ID |
Source identifier (slave) |
|
Destination ID |
Destination identifier (master) |
|
Port settings |
Settings string of the COM port |
|
Baudrate |
Communication baud rate |
|
Log errors |
If checked, error messages are sent to the Workbench |
|
Log warnings |
If checked, warning messages are sent to the Workbench |
Exchanged variables are not described in the fieldbus configuration, but using "profiles". To map a variable to the DNP3 slave protocol, edit its properties using the "Properties" command of the contextual menu in the variable editor, and then select the "DNP3S" profile. Then you must specify the following properties for the variable:
| Type | DNP3 type identifier |
| PointNum | DNP3 point number |
You can freely map a variable of any data type to the configuration. The runtime automatically converts the value to the type of the variable.
