Chapter 5 - Configuration
4.
Move down to the next cell (RP1 Address). This cell controls the DNP3.0 address of the IED. Up to 32 IEDs can
be connected to one spur, therefore it is necessary for each IED to have a unique address so that messages
from the master control station are accepted by only one IED. DNP3.0 uses a decimal number between 1
and 65519 for the Relay Address. It is important that no two IEDs have the same address.
5.
Move down to the next cell (RP1 Baud Rate). This cell controls the baud rate to be used. Six baud rates are
supported by the IED 1200 bps, 2400 bps, 4800 bps, 9600 bps, 19200 bps and 38400 bps. Make sure that
the baud rate selected on the IED is the same as that set on the master station.
6.
Move down to the next cell (RP1 Parity). This cell controls the parity format used in the data frames. The
parity can be set to be one of None, Odd or Even. Make sure that the parity format selected on the IED is
the same as that set on the master station.
7.
If the optional fibre optic connectors are fitted, the RP1 PhysicalLink cell is visible. This cell controls the
physical media used for the communication (Copper or Fibre optic).
8.
Move down to the next cell (RP1 Time Sync). This cell affects the time synchronisation request from the
master by the IED. It can be set to enabled or disabled. If enabled it allows the DNP3.0 master to
synchronise the time on the IED.

DNP3 CONFIGURATOR
A PC support package for DNP3.0 is available as part of the supplied settings application software (MiCOM S1 Agile)
to allow configuration of the device's DNP3.0 response. The configuration data is uploaded from the device to the
PC in a block of compressed format data and downloaded in a similar manner after modification. The new DNP3.0
