2. DNP3 Protocol Primer

Acknowledgment:

 Base materials used in Section 2 of this 

manual were provided by and used with the permission of 

the DNP Users Group www.dnp.org.

This is a primer for Users who want a quick understand-

ing of DNP3 without having to comb through the tedious 

details of a complex specification.  The writing style is 

meant to be informal and personal.

Let us start with what it is.  Protocols define the rules by 

which devices talk with each other, and DNP3 is a protocol 

for transmission of data from point A to point B using serial 

and IP communications.  It has been used primarily by utili-

ties such as the electric and water companies, but it func-

tions well for other areas.
A typical electric company may have a common operations 

center that monitors all of the equipment at each of its 

substations.  In the operations center, a powerful computer 

stores all of the incoming data and displays the system for 

the human operators.  Substations have many devices that 

need monitoring (Are circuit breakers opened or closed?), 

current sensors (How many amperes are flowing?) and 

voltage transducers (What is the line potential?).  That only 

scratches the surface.  A utility is interested in monitor-

ing many parameters, too numerous to discuss here.  The 

operations personnel often need to switch sections of the 

power grid into or out of service.  Computers are situated 

in substations to collect the data for transmission to the 

master station in the operations center.  The substation 

computers are also called upon to energize or de-energize 

the breakers and voltage regulators.
DNP3 uses the term 

outstation

 to denote remote comput-

ers as are found in the field.  The term 

master

 is used for 

the computers in the control centers.
DNP3 provides the rules for remotely located computers 

and master station computers to communicate data and 

control commands.  DNP3 is a non-proprietary protocol that 

is available to anyone by visiting the web site www.dnp.

org.  Only a nominal fee is charged for documentation, but 

otherwise it is available worldwide with no restrictions.  This 

means a utility can purchase master station and outsta-

tion computing equipment from any manufacturer and be 

assured that they will reliably talk to each other.  Vendors 

compete based upon their computing equipment’s features, 

costs and quality factors instead of who has the best pro-

tocol.  Utilities are not bound to one manufacturer after the 

initial sale.
What do the computers talk about?  Outstation computers 

gather data for transmission to the master.

Binary input data that is useful to monitor two-state 

devices.  For example, a circuit breaker is closed or 

tripped; a pipeline pressure alarm shows normal or exces-

sive.

Analog input data that conveys voltages, currents, power, 

reservoir water levels, and temperatures.

Count input data that reports energy in kilowatt hours or 

fluid volume.

Files that contain configuration data.

The master station issues control commands that take the 

form of:

Close or trip a circuit breaker, start or stop a motor, and 

open or close a valve; and/or 

Analog output values to set a regulated pressure or a 

desired voltage level.

Other things the computers talk to each other about are 

synchronizing the time and date, sending historical or 

logged data, waveform data, and on and on.

2.1 Why DNP3?

DNP3 was designed to optimize the transmission of data 

acquisition information and control commands from one 

computer to another.  It is not a general purpose protocol 

like those found on the Internet for transmitting email, 

hypertext documents, SQL queries, multimedia, and huge 

files.  It is intended for Supervisory Control and Data 

Acquisition (SCADA) applications.

Readers should not assume this document contains formal rules, which are only provided by the DNP3 Specification volumes.
