When the processor receives the block, it places the information in the module’s

analog input event queue. This information is then made available to the remote

DNP master unit on analog event object or class poll requests. The module

informs the processor that the event has been processed by generating a

response block with the following format:

Word Offset in
Block

Data Field(s)

Description

0

Block ID

Identification code for block set to 9959.

1

Block ID

Block identification code for request from PLC by the
module.

2

Event Count

This field contains the number of events processed by the

module.

3

DNP Analog Input
Data point

This field contains the analog input point of the last
successful block 9959 received.

4 to 7

Spare

Not used

The Sequence Counter and the Event Count fields in the response block can be

utilized to insure that the module has processed the event. If the event buffer in

the module is full, the event is not processed and the processor should resend

the event to the module. If the module processes the event, the processor can

remove the event from its buffer.
