Introduction

The purpose of the remote control unit

(RCU) is to provide remote SCADA system

access to monitor and control Siemens

Fusesavers installed on power lines. The

RCU maintains an internal database, which

holds information on the Fusesaver line

being monitored and on the RCU itself. It is

this data that is available to the SCADA

system. The internal database is detailed in

this manual, refer to RCU internal database

and controls section beginning on page 15.

It is usual for a utility to retrieve only a

subset of the data available in the database;

this is called point mapping.

The SCADA system accesses the RCU internal

database with a SCADA protocol and a long-

range radio or modem. Different SCADA

protocols have different capabilities and

methodologies. This manual deals with the

DNP3 protocol over the RCU serial data

connection.

The RCU implements the slave DNP3

protocol using industry standard libraries

provided by Triangle Microworks, Inc.

A subset level of the DNP3 protocol is

supported, which is defined in the DNP3

profile document RCU_DNP3_Profile_Rxx.

xml and is provided separately to this

manual. The profile is a formatted

document determined by the DNP3

committee.

This manual provides additional information

so the user can fully understand the

implementation of the DNP3 protocol on

this equipment, how the RCU internal

database is mapped into the serial DNP3

protocol, and the configuration options

available to the user.

The manual also deals with the settings for

the radio power supply and radio serial data

interface. The target reader of this manual is

already familiar with DNP3 and the user’s

SCADA system.

situation that, if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury.

Caution - Indicates a potentially hazardous

situation that, if not avoided, may result in

minor or moderate injury.

DNP3 points and

controls

Point mapping

RCU database digital and analog inputs can

be configured to suit the SCADA master

needs in a number of ways:

RCU database points can be mapped to

specific DNP3 point indices.

RCU database points can be unmapped,

in which case they will not appear in the

DNP3 point indices and will not be

available to the SCADA system.

For mapped points, the DNP3 class can

be set as described below.

Point mapping is especially useful when

trying to reduce the bandwidth

requirements over the SCADA network by

removing points that are deemed

unnecessary. This can be achieved by

mapping all required points to contiguous

DNP3 indices starting at index 0. Unwanted

points can then be left unmapped (i.e., not

mapped to any class), in which case they

will not be returned by integrity poll or

individual poll or will they generate

unsolicited messages.

Note that all point configuration is carried

out with the RCU Connect PC utility.

Class assignment

For all mapped points, the user can assign

DNP3 class 0, 1, 2, 3 or “None.”

Points with class “None” will not be returned

in an integrity poll. However, these points

can still be read by polling the specific data

type/point index for that point.

The advantage of setting class “None” is that

a point can still be scanned if required but

will not cause use of bandwidth in integrity

polls. The disadvantage is the potential

fragmentation of integrity polls.

Contiguous DNP3 indices

A DNP3 integrity poll will return all DNP3

points that have been mapped to the RCU

internal database and that have been

assigned to class 0, 1, 2 or 3. If the DNP3

mapping has gaps in the sequence of

indices caused either by an unmapped DNP3

index or by a mapped point being set to

class “None,” it will result in multiple DNP3

fragments being sent across the SCADA

network. This problem can be avoided by

mapping the class “None” points to the end

of the DNP3 index.

Point mapping example 1

This is a typical DNP3 mapping for the RCU

analog input points to reduce bandwidth

requirements by excluding some points and

keeping the DNP3 indices contiguous so

that an integrity poll will return DNP3

indexes 0 to 13 in a single message. The

points in grey are not mapped and cannot

be read.

Point mapping example 2

A similar mapping to above, but with

unwanted points mapped and assigned to

class “None” at the end of the DNP3 point

index. The unwanted points will not

generate events and will not be returned in

a status poll, but can still be read by issuing

a command to read that point or data type

directly. This mapping will reduce the

bandwidth requirements by the same

amount as the previous example, but the

unwanted points can still be read if

necessary.

Figure 2: Point mapping example 2

Digital input point implementation

Digital points are DNP3 binary inputs (object

group 1) and binary input events (object

group 2).

Refer to the section on RCU internal

database and controls beginning on page 15

to understand how the status, events and

qualifiers for each point are generated.

Default input point mapping is DNP3 index =

RCU digital PID.

Analog input point implementation

Analog points are DNP3 analog inputs

(object group 30) and analog input events

(object group 32) for points that generate

events.

Refer to the section beginning on page 15

about RCU internal database and controls to

understand how the status, events and

qualifiers for each point are generated.

Default input point mapping is DNP3 index =

RCU analog PID.

Object flags

DNP3 object flags are generated as shown in

Table 2. Some object flags correspond to the

internal data qualifiers set out in the section

on RCU internal database and controls

beginning on page 15.

DNP3 device attributes

Device attributes (object group 0) come

from the RCU database string points defined

in the RCU operating instructions

(IC1000-F320-A198-X-XXXX).

Note that RCU string points are not

supported in DNP3 in any other way.

DNP3 device attributes are mapped into RCU

string points as given in Table 3.

Control response codes

Available response codes are given in Table

5, which shows which codes are supported

and where appropriate details the RCU

internal database response code utilized.

Otherwise the response code is as per the

DNP3 specification in IEEE Std. 1815-2012.

Where the table shows that the response

code is not supported, it means that this

code is never returned to the master station.
