Configuration With File Transfers
All configuration features within the DNP
MINT are actually contained in EEPROM using
configuration tables. The DNP MINT itself only
requires the summary table described in
Table
8
. Each of the 16 virtual devices require a set of
4 tables:
(1) a summary table (
Table 9
) and
appended INCOM scan command list,
(2) a binary points list,
(3) a non-binary points list and
(4) a control (operate) list.
For almost all applications, the pre-defined
configurations described in
Section 8.1
, with
possibly minor modifications described in
Section 8.2
, would self configure the DNP
MINT and generate all the required
configuration tables.
Each of these tables can be obtained from the
DNP MINT in configuration mode with a simple
form of the Read (Function Code 2) File (Group
70, Variation 5=Transport, Qualifier 5B
16
=
objects prefixed with 2 octet object size, free
formatted) request. (Note: since this is a
non-run mode, or configuration only, feature this
simple File transaction does not require any
Open/Close/etc. DNP File procedures.) The
prefixed with 2 octet object size contains the
number of bytes to follow. The table requested
is defined by a 32-bit File Handle field
containing the DNP MINT (0) or device (1-16)
ID followed by a 32-bit Block Number field
containing the value 00 (summary table and
appended INCOM scan command list
information), 01 (binary points list information),
02 (non-binary points list information) or 03
(control list information).
The DNP MINT provides the ability to
configure its summary table and/or the devices
and their set of object points with a simple form
of the Write (Function Code 2) File (Group 70,
Variation 5=Transport, Qualifier 5B
16
= objects
prefixed with 2 octet object size, free formatted)
request using file downloads. The format is
equivalent to the read file function except the
file information is appended.
These configurations require an extensive
knowledge
of
the
INCOM
protocol.
Additionally, its complexity and the need to
interlinked settings between tables prohibit their
discussion. Please contact Eaton Electrical if a
specific configuration outside the pre-defined
configurations is required.
