Overall Procedure to Install and Connect DNP3 I/O Modules
To install and connect DNP3 I/O modules:
1. Configure the DNP3 DCA in the iBox so that it communicates with your DNP3 I/O module.
Refer to section: Configuring the iBox to work with a DNP3 I/O Module on page 43.
2. Physically locate and mount DNP3 I/O module in a 19 inch rack or cabinet.
Refer to section: Installing DNP3 I/O Modules in a Rack on page 164.
3. Connect the DNP3 I/O module to site ground.
Refer to section: Connecting to Protective Ground on page 165.
4 Interconnect the DNP3 I/O modules and connect power:
– For low voltage DNP3 I/O, refer to section: Connecting DNP3 I/O Modules (Low Voltage) on
page 166.
– For high voltage DNP3 I/O where connection is made to an external power supply, refer to
section: Connecting DNP3 I/O modules (High Voltage) on page 167.
5 Turn power on to the module, and test it to make sure it is functioning properly.
