Relay DNP3 Feature Summary
Feature
Application
DNP3 event data reporting
More efficient polling through event collection or unsolic-
ited data
Time-tagged events
Time-stamped SER data
Control output relay blocks
Operator-initiated control
Write analog set point
Change the active protection settings group
Time synchronization
Set the relay time from the master station or automatically
request time synchronization from the master
Custom mapping
Increase communications efficiency by organizing data and
reducing available data to what you need for your applica-
tion
Modem support
Reduce the cost of the communications channel by either
master dialing to relay or relay dialing to master
Analog dead-band settings per
session
Dead bands may be set to different values per session
depending on desired application
Virtual Terminal
Provides engineering access for configuration, diagnostics,
and other tasks over the existing DNP3 connection
TEST DB2
command
Test DNP3 protocol interface without disturbing protection
Support for Object 0 Device
Attributes
Provides Device Attributes (Device ID, Number of binary,
analog and counter points, Manufacturer information, etc.)
for the device specific to the current connected DNP3 ses-
sion in use
XML DNP3 Device Profile
Document
The DNP3 Device Profile document contains the complete
information on DNP3 Protocol support in the relay. This
information is available in XML format.
