The trip/close values require 2 points within the module’s DNPNET database. A Trip is
represented by the binary value of '10' for those 2 points, and a Close is represented by the
binary value of '01' for those same 2 points.
The module can process only 4000 trip/close dual points, as the database for the DNPNET
BO is limited to 8000 total bits.
The dual point control on trip/close operations can be overwritten by selecting the parameter
of "Use_TripClose_Single_Point" in the server configuration section of the module. When
this parameter is enabled, all trip and close operations will be treated as pulse on
commands, and only occupy a single boolean point.
