Unsolicited Responses
Enable Unsolicited Responses:
Select if the DNP3 Slave should send unsolicited messages to the DNP3
Master. If this selection is checked, then the user should also configure the following:
Enter DNP3 Address to Send Unsolicited Messages to:
The address of the station to which DNP3 Slave
will send unsolicited messages in the DNP3 Address to Send Unsolicited Messages field.
Enable Initial Unsolicited Responses:
Enter Yes to enable.
Enter Event Report Queue Timeout (ms):
The amount of time in milliseconds any event will be allowed to
remain in the event queue before being reported in the Event Report Queue Timeout field. Minimum value:
1,000 ms (1 second), maximum value: 3,600,000 ms (1 hour).
Enter Event Report Queue Threshold (events):
The minimum number of events in the event queue required
to trigger the generation of an unsolicited even report message in the Event Report Queue Threshold field.
Enter Max. number of events to send in an unsolicited response:
The maximum number of events to send
in every unsolicited message.
Note:
When planning on using unsolicited responses, there must be at least one DNP3 object configured to
generate events on any of the three DNP3 event classes, or else, no events will be generated and thus
no unsolicited responses at all will be generated by the station.
Event Detection / Real Time Data Trace / Synchronization
Enable Auto Detection Rate:
Check this box to automatically set the detection rate.
Enable Max. time events in queue after disconnect (TCP Server only):
Click to enable.
Enable Real Time Data Trace:
The DNP3 Slave Driver can be configured to generate real time traces of every
Master-Slave DNP3 transaction for diagnosis and debugging purposes. The real time communication data
traces can be enabled/disabled at any time. The output will be directed to a text file within the file system for
later upload. When your trace scenario is complete, simply run a gatherstats to automatically include this
DNP3 trace. Then contact Support with your results.
Time Synchronization:
The station can be configured to request Time Synchronization from the DNP3
Master. Requests can be configured to be made at intervals of once per minute, once per hour, once per day or
never.
Click on the
Save
button to save your configuration. The
Apply
button will save your settings and apply them
immediately. To revert to the previous defaults, click on the
Revert
button.
(Navigation buttons across the bottom of the DNP3 screen match the selections made from the drop down tab
menu.)
