24. CDC Type II – Protocol Specific
Most test set operations are independent of the specific protocol being used and are described
in the non-protocol specific topics. The most common protocol specific activity is defining the
message structure for a particular RTU. This involves defining the number and types of points
(analog, digital, and accumulator) configured in the device (RTU, IED) under test. This information
enables the test set to issue the proper data scan request and to parse and correctly display
information in data response messages. The following sections will describe the protocol specific
considerations, if any, for Task and Exchange operational modes and, within those modes, any
communication mode (Line Monitor, Master Simulation, and RTU Simulation) protocol specific
considerations.
24.1. CDC Type II – Exchange Mode
For Exchange Mode, protocol specific tasks are editing Exchange Definition and set RTU address
information.
24.1.1. CDC Type II – Edit Exchange Definition
Configure one or more Scan exchanges (Scan 1, Scan 2, Scan 3) with device point information.
In the following example, the configuration will contain 16 digital points and 8 Analog points, in
that order. From the Exchange view, right-click on the line containing the Scan 1 exchange and
select Edit Exchange Definition.
