Block Number Function/Description
9998 Warm Boot Request from PLC (Block contains no data)
9999 Cold Boot Request from PLC (Block contains no data)
Blocks 0 and -1 are empty blocks used during module startup, when there is no data to
transfer.
Blocks 1 to 203 are used to transfer the various kinds of DNPNET and IED process data.
Block 300 transfers error and status data. Blocks 9901 to 9999 are used for Special
Functions.
4.2.3 Module Function Blocks
Blocks 9000-9099 Configuration Data
The DNPNET configuration is requested from the PLC's ladder logic. The PLC will return a
block 9000 with the section of the configuration data containing a fixed length. Within this
block are the counts for client commands and this will determine how many subsequent
blocks will be requested. Subsequent blocks can have a variable length configuration with
blocks numbered 9001 and up (to a maximum block number of 9099).
