Chapter 3
The RX3i EDS001 DNP3 Outstation Module receives three different types of configuration:
a. Its rack/slot location is determined via the hardware configuration tool in PACSystems
Machine Edition and is downloaded to the RX3i CPU.
b. Its Ethernet parameters are set via PACSystems Machine Edition, as documented in
PACSystems RX7i & RX3i TCP/IP Ethernet Communications User Manual, GFK-2224
Chapter 4. Similarly, its Station Manager parameters are set via PACSystems Machine
Edition, as documented in PACSystems TCP/IP Ethernet Communications Station
Manager User Manual, GFK-2225.
c. Its DNP3 Outstation profile is determined by a COMMREQ instruction which is used to
initialize it. The COMMREQ is executed only once following power-up or restart of the
RX3i system.

RX3i Rack/Slot Hardware Configuration

Use PACSystems Machine Edition to configure the EDS001 within the host RX3i System.
Select a suitable rack and slot location (Figure 6) and install EDS001 at that location (Figure
7) via the PACSystems Machine Edition hardware configuration tool. PACSystems Machine
Edition will check whether the installed power supply can handle the combined load of the
EDS001 and all other installed modules. All other configuration details, such as which I/O
points and registers to be read or written by the EDS001, are handled as part of the DNP3
Outstation Parametric Configuration discussed in Section 3.5 below. There are no RX3i
memory locations explicitly reserved for the use of the EDS001 module.
