MVI71-DNPSNET Application Design

This section describes the MVI71-DNPSNET module configuration and setup as
it applies to application design. Before attempting to implement this module with
a DNP network, verify that the whole design of the system is complete. This
includes definition of all the data types and point counts required for each type,
all communication parameters required for the network including media type and
the use of advanced features such as unsolicited messaging. These must be
defined for all master and slave devices on the network. Additionally, the DNP
Device Profiles and DNP Subset Definition documents for each device must be
reviewed to make sure all the devices will interact on the network as expected.
Failure to fully understand these important documents for all devices on the
network will usually lead to many problems when implementing the design.
