Signal configuration user information

CMT allows to configure the signals that are used to communicate with clients or master units for
DNP3 protocols.
On the left window CMT organizes all available signals from the application configuration in
containers that are preselected as signal types.
On the right window CMT provides containers that are selected by tabs. Each container represents
one communication channel. The number of possible communication channels is IED type
dependent. The IED uses TCP/IP as communication channel. DNP3 can be tunneled over TCP/IP,
and serial communication RS-485 is not supported.
Use direction icons that are located between the windows to move all signals or a set of individual
signals between the windows.
DNP3 signal types, index and default setting for classes are predefined in CMT. Adapt the signal
configuration to project definitions. The signal type can not be modified due to the fact that the
internal signal set up is fixed.
When the default configuration values are sufficient, the task is finished when all signal are moved
according to the project requirements.
With the
the default selections.
Only for analog measurements additional configuration parameters are shown to do signal scaling
to DNP3 protocol presentation. This can be done when the
Finally, the signal configuration to the different DNP3 channels can be listed in a report on demand
and per signal type.

Configuring DNP3 protocol signals

1. Save the actual project configuration in PCM600 to make all signals visible for CMT.
