2.2 MVI69-DNP Communication Module Configuration
[Section]/Item Value Range Description
[MODULE] General module configuration section
Module Name: 0 to 80
characters
This parameter assigns a name to the module that can
be viewed using the configuration/debug port. Use this
parameter to identify the module and the configuration
file.
[Section]/Item Value
Range Description
[DNP Slave] DNP Slave configuration information
Internal Slave ID: 0 to 65534 This is the DNP address for the module. All messages
with this address from the master will be processed by
the module.
Baud Rate: Baud rate value Primary DNP Port Baud Rate: 300, 600, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 19200, 384 (38400) , 576 (57600), 115
(115200)
RTS On: 0 to 65535
milliseconds This value represents the number of 1 ms increments
to be inserted between asserting the RTS modem line
and the actual transmission of the data.
RTS Off: 0 to 65535
milliseconds This value represents the number of 1 ms increments
to be inserted after the last character of data is
transmitted before the RTS modem line is dropped.
Min Response Delay: 0 to 65535
milliseconds Minimum time between receiving a request and
transmitting a response. Allows master time to disable
transmitter on an RS-485 network.
Modem: Yes or No This parameter defines if a dial-up modem is used on
the secondary DNP slave port. A modem cannot be
used if the port is configured as a master.
Connect Timeout: 0 to 65535 Defines the number of milliseconds to wait for the CD
signal to be set high. The CD signal indicates a
connection is made using a dial-up modem.
First Character Delay: 0 to 65535 Defines the number of milliseconds to wait before
sending the first message after the connection is first
made. This delay only applies to the first packet sent to
the modem.
Redial Delay Time: 0 to 32000 Defines the minimum number of milliseconds to wait
before a redial attempt is made by the slave.
Redial Random Delay: 0 to 32000 Defines a random millisecond time range to be added
to the redial delay time before the modem is accessed.
Idle Timeout: 0 to 65535 Defines the number of milliseconds the modem is
inactive before it will disconnect.
Phone Number: ASCII String
Data This field contain a null-terminated, ASCII character
string used by the dial-up modem. The string must
contain all characters required by the modem. An
example string is ATDT1800222333. Maximum length
is 34 bytes including the terminating 0.
Collision Avoidance: Yes or No This parameter defines if collision avoidance will be
utilized on the primary DNP slave port.
CD Idle Time: 0 to 32000 Defines the minimum number of milliseconds to wait
before transmitting a message after the CD signal is
recognized as low.
CD Random Time: 0 to 32000 Defines the range of random time to be added to the
CD Idle Time before a message will be transmitted
from the slave.
