PRODUCT SETUP
The setting is the DNP slave address. This number identifies the L30 on a DNP communications link. Assign a
DNP ADDRESS
unique address to each DNP slave.
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 follow.

The

mechanism. The

response. The
DNP UNSOL RESPONSE MAX RETRIES
unsolicited response without receiving confirmation from the master; a value of "255" allows infinite re-tries. The
UNSOL RESPONSE DEST ADDRESS
solicited 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
5
all DNP analog input points that are voltages are returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000 V
on the L30 is returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within certain
ranges in DNP masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (that is, the value is 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
unsolicited responses from the L30 when any current values change by 15 A, the
is set to "15." Note that these settings are the deadband default values. DNP object 34 points can be used to change
deadband values, from the default, for each individual DNP analog input point. Whenever power is removed and re-
applied to the L30, the default deadbands are in effect.
The L30 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the
DEADBAND
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 provides 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 L30 Ethernet port employed to access the L30
Main Menu, then by clicking the Device Information Menu item, then the DNP Points Lists item.
The
DNP OBJECT 1 DEFAULT VARIATION
number for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32. The default variation refers to the variation response when variation
0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. See the DNP Implementation section in the UR Family Communications
Guide.
