for each channel. Once DNP is assigned to a serial port, the Modbus protocol is disabled on that port. Note that COM1 can
be used only in non-Ethernet UR relays. When this setting is set to "Network - TCP", the DNP protocol can be used over
TCP/IP on channels 1 or 2. When this value is set to "Network - UDP", the DNP protocol can be used over UDP/IP on chan-
nel 1 only. Refer to Appendix E for additional information on the DNP protocol.

ited responses are sent is determined by the C30 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 C30 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 C30 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 C30 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 C30 when any current values change by 15 A, the
should be 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 C30, the default deadbands will be in effect.
