5 SETTINGS
The L30 can specify a maximum of five clients for its DNP connections. These are IP addresses for the controllers to which
the L30 can connect. The settings in this sub-menu are shown below.

responses are sent is determined by the L30 from the current TCP connection or the most recent UDP message.
The DNP scale factor settings are numbers used to scale analog input point values. These settings group the L30 analog
input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other. Each setting represents the
scale factor for all analog input points of that type. For example, if the
all DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000
V on the L30 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within cer-
tain ranges in DNP masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (that is, the value will be 10
times larger).
The
DNP DEFAULT DEADBAND
settings group the L30 analog input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other.
Each setting represents the default deadband value for all analog input points of that type. For example, to trigger unsolic-
ited responses from the L30 when any current values change by 15 A, the
be set to "15". Note that these settings are the deadband default values. DNP object 34 points can be used to change dead-
band values, from the default, for each individual DNP analog input point. For any change to take effect, restart the relay.
Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the L30, the default deadbands will be in effect.
The L30 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the
settings are not applicable.

NOTE
The
DNP TIME SYNC IIN PERIOD
Changing this time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
The
DNP MESSAGE FRAGMENT SIZE
fragment sizes allow for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to be
necessary which can provide for more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
Check the "DNP Points Lists" L30 web page to view the analog inputs and/or binary inputs points lists. This page
can be viewed with a web browser by entering the IP address of the UR Ethernet port employed to access the L30
"Main Menu", then by selecting the "Device Information Menu" > "DNP Points Lists" menu item.
