Module Configuration File, DNP.CFG
In order for the module to operate, a configuration file (DNP.CFG) is required.
This configuration file contains all the information required to configure the
module’s Master drivers, set up the databases for the controlled devices and
establish a command list. Each parameter in the file must be set carefully in
order for the application to be implemented successfully.
The configuration file is separated into sections with topic header names
enclosed in the
[ ]
characters. Any record that begins with the "
#
" character is
considered to be a comment record. Any text to the right of a # character is
ignored by the program, and can be used to provide documentation within the
configuration file. Liberal use of comments within the file can ease the use and
interpretation of the data in the file.
The following topics describe each section of the configuration file.
Important:
The configuration file must be named DNP.CFG, otherwise the configuration file will not
be recognized by the module.
Important:
This module supports a maximum configuration file size of 128 kilobytes (131072
bytes). If the configuration file is larger than this size, the module will not accept the download. You
can reduce the size of the configuration file by opening the file in a text editor and removing
comment lines (lines preceded with the # character).
