5.4 DNP3 Input/Output Setup
As explained in Section 2, it is necessary to create a
DNP slave database in PXM meter so that data can be
exchanged with the DNP master. Organization of this data-
base may vary from application to application depending
on needs of the situation. Therefore, it is up to installer to
correctly configure this database to get appropriate results.
Appendix A provides a list of PXM meter parameters / vari-
ables which can be added to the PXM DNP slave database.
Using the DNP Input/Output web page, the User can select
and configure the required meter parameters for the spe-
cific requirement. List in Appendix A has been prepared by
keeping reference to the MODBUS address and length. For
the encoding of these parameters, the User should refer to
the MODBUS section.
Figure 12
shows simple steps to prepare the DNP slave
database in the PXM meter.
DNP3 database configuration can be done with the User
interface provided on DNP3 Setup -> DNP3 Input/Output
web page. The DNP3 database is arranged in tabs as
explained in the following
