Data Link Layer The IQ 250/260 can be assigned with a value from 1 to 65534 as the target device address for DNP Lite. The data link layer follows the standard frame FT3 used by the DNP Version 3.0 protocol, but only 3 functions are implemented: Reset Link, Reset User and Link Status, as depicted in following table.
Modbus RTU protocol from DNP Lite. This switching is seen as a control relay mapped into Object 12, point 1 in the IQ 250/260. The relay must be operated with qualifier 0x17, code 3 count 0, with 0 millisecond on and 1 millisecond off, only.
