The DNP scale factor settings are numbers used to scale analog input point values. These settings group the L60 analog
input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other. Each setting represents the
scale factor for all analog input points of that type. For example, if the
DNP VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR
setting is set to “1000,”
all DNP analog input points that are voltages are returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000 V
on the L60 is returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within certain
ranges in DNP masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (that is, the value is 10 times larger).
The
DNP DEFAULT DEADBAND
settings determine when to trigger unsolicited responses containing analog input data. These
settings group the L60 analog input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other.
Each setting represents the default deadband value for all analog input points of that type. For example, to trigger
unsolicited responses from the L60 when any current values change by 15 A, the
DNP CURRENT DEFAULT DEADBAND
setting
is set to “15.” Note that these settings are the deadband default values. DNP object 34 points can be used to change
deadband values, from the default, for each individual DNP analog input point. For any change to take effect, restart the
relay. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the L60, the default deadbands are in effect.
The
DNP TIME SYNC IIN PERIOD
setting determines how often the Need Time Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the L60.
Changing this time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
The
DNP MESSAGE FRAGMENT SIZE
setting determines the size, in bytes, at which message fragmentation occurs. Large
fragment sizes allow for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to
be necessary, which provides more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
The
DNP OBJECT 1 DEFAULT VARIATION
to
DNP OBJECT 32 DEFAULT VARIATION
settings select the DNP default variation
number for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32. The default variation refers to the variation response when variation
0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. See the DNP Implementation section in the UR Family Communications
Guide.
The DNP binary outputs typically map one-to-one to IED data points. That is, each DNP binary output controls a single
physical or virtual control point in an IED. In the L60 relay, DNP binary outputs are mapped to virtual inputs. However, some
legacy DNP implementations use a mapping of one DNP binary output to two physical or virtual control points to support
the concept of trip/close (for circuit breakers) or raise/lower (for tap changers) using a single control point. That is, the DNP
master can operate a single point for both trip and close, or raise and lower, operations. The L60 can be configured to
support paired control points, with each paired control point operating two virtual inputs. The
DNP NUMBER OF PAIRED
CONTROL POINTS
setting allows configuration of 0 to 32 binary output paired controls. Points not configured as paired
operate on a one-to-one basis.
The
DNP TCP CONNECTION TIMEOUT
setting specifies a time delay for the detection of dead network TCP connections. If
there is no data traffic on a DNP TCP connection for greater than the time specified by this setting, the connection is
aborted by the L60. This frees up the connection to be re-used by a client. For any change to take effect, restart the relay.

DNP / IEC104 POINT LISTS
Up to 256 binary and up to 256 analog input points for the DNP protocol, or the MSP and MME points for IEC 60870-5-104
protocol, can be configured. The value for each point is user-programmable and can be configured by assigning FlexLogic
operands for binary inputs / MSP points or FlexAnalog parameters for analog inputs / MME points.
The L60 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the
DNP ENERGY SCALE FACTOR
and
DNP ENERGY DEFAULT
DEADBAND
settings are not applicable.
