Template:Networking rutos manual fw disclosure
Summary
Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) is a set of communications protocols used between components in process automation systems. It is primarily used for communications between a master station and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) or Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs).
This manual page provides an overview of the DNP3 functionality in {{{name}}} devices.
Note: DNP3 is additional software that can be installed from the Services → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]] page.
DNP3 Parameters
DNP3 parameters are held within indexes. The index numbers and corresponding system values are described in the table below:
required value | index | group type |
---|---|---|
Uptime | 0 | Counter |
Hostname | 3 | Octet String |
Router Serial Number | 5 | Octet String |
LAN MAC Address | 6 | Octet String |
Router name | 7 | Octet String |
TCP Master
A master in DNP3 is a component that communicates (requests data) with a single outstation via a communication channel. By default, the master list is empty. To add a new master, click the 'Add' button.
After clicking 'Add' you will be redirected to the newly added master's configuration page.
TCP Master Configuration
The TCP Master Configuration section is used to configure the parameters of a DNP3 Outstation that the Master (this {{{name}}} device) will be querying with requests. The figure below is an example of the TCP Master Configuration and the table below provides information on the fields contained in that section:
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Enable | off | on; default: off | Turns communication with the outstation device on or off. |
Name | string; default: none | Name of the TCP master, used for easier management purposes. |
IP address | ip; default: none | DNP3 Outstation IP address. |
Port | integer [0..65535]; default: none | DNP3 Outstation Port. |
Local Address | integer [0..65535]; default: none | Master Link-Layer address. |
Remote Address | integer [0..65535]; default: none | Outstation Link-Layer address. |
Period | integer [1..60]; default: none | Interval at which requests are sent to the outstation device. |
Timeout | integer [1..60]; default: none | Maximum response wait time. |
Save to flash | off | on; default: off | When enabled, stores device in device flash. |
Requests Configuration
A DNP3 request is a way of obtaining data from DNP3 Outstations. The master sends a request to an outstation specifying the function codes to be performed. The outstation then sends the requested data back to the DNP3 master.
The Request Configuration list is empty by default. To add a new Request Configuration look to the Add New Instance section. Enter a custom name into the 'New Configuration Name' field and click the 'Add' button:
The new Request Configuration should become visible in the list:
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Name | string; default: Unnamed | Name of this Request Configuration. Used for easier management purposes. |
Start Index | integer [0..65535]; default: none | Start index of the data subarray. |
End Index | integer [0..65535]; default: none | End index of the data subarray. |
Data Type | Binary | Double Binary | Counter | Frozen Counter | Analog | Octet String | Analog Output Status | Binary Output Status; default: Binary | Data object group of the requested index(-es). |
off/on slider | off | on; default: off | Turns the request on or off. |
Request Configuration Testing
This section is used to check whether the configuration works correctly. Simply click the 'Test' button and a response should appear in the box below. The last value represents the configured request data. A successful response to a test may look something like this:
DNP3 Outstation
An outstation in DNP3 is a component that communicates with a single master via a communication channel. It makes measurements of the physical world and then sends them to a master upon request (solicited) or on its own accord (unsolicited). Occasionally a master requests that it do something by sending it a control. This provides the user with the possibility to get system parameters.
The figure below is an example of the DNP3 Outstation window section and the table below provides information on the fields contained in that window:
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Enable | off | on; default: off | Turns DNP3 Outstation on or off. |
Local Address | integer [0..65535]; default: none | Outstation Link-Layer address. |
Remote Address | integer [0..65535]; default: none | Master Link-Layer address. |
Unsolicited enabled | off | on; default: none | Enables the transmission of unsolicited messages. |
Protocol | TCP | UDP; default: TCP | Protocol used for DNP3 communications. |
Port | integer [0..65535]; default: none | Port used for DNP3 communications. |
