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.

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.


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: 502 Port used for DNP3 communications.
UDP response address ipv4; default: none UDP response address.
UDP response port integer [0..65535]; default: none UDP response port.
Allow Remote Access off | on; default: off Allows remote DNP3 connections by adding an exception to the device's firewall on the port specified in the field above.
