1.1.9 Configure DNP 3.0 settings

The relay operates as a DNP 3.0 slave device and S&R Courier allows configuration of the
relay’s DNP 3.0 response. The configuration data is uploaded from the relay to the PC in a
block of compressed format data and downloaded to the relay in a similar manner after
modification. The modified DNP 3.0 configuration takes effect in the relay after the download
is complete.
The DNP 3.0 File for an IED will vary depending on the implementation of the IED. The DNP
3.0 Files developed for the original DNP 3.0 implementation in Px40 relays are backwards
compatible using MiCOM S1 version 2.13. However the appearance of any DNP 3.0 File
using MiCOM S1 version 2.13 will look different to viewing the same file with an earlier
version of S1.
The DNP 3.0 Files used in the enhanced DNP 3.0 implementation for Px40 relays have
additional functions and settings available. These files are only configurable using MiCOM
S1 version 2.13 and later.
Configuration of the DNP 3.0 Files for the enhanced implementation is detailed in the
following sections. The program provides 3 tabs for the functions of Point Configuration,
Integer Scaling and Default Variation. Each tab allows navigation and support for additional
functions per tab as follows.

1.1.9.1 Point configuration

The Point Configuration tab contains the Binary Inputs, Binary Outputs, Counters and
Analogue Inputs tabulated views. Each tab contains relevant configuration data to that
group. The point configurations for all groups include a Master Points List and a Configured
Points List.
The Master Points List contains all available points per device type (e.g. P145). The list can
be ordered either by point number or alphabetically by Description. To order the list by point
number the mouse pointer can left click the MPI column heading. To order the list
alphabetically the mouse pointer can left click the Description column heading.

The Configured Points List is ordered by the Configured Point Index (CPI) and contains only
configured points. Each corresponding MPI number, description and any available settings
are included for every point. The maximum number of points that can be included in the
Configured Point List is equal to the total number of points listed in the Master Point List.
A -- Separator -- point is provided in the Master Points List to allow custom tables to be
created and could be used to match the mappings of commissioned systems. This will also
aid in producing consistent points mappings between different products, allowing data to be
located at the same point in all devices. The Separator will return a zero value dependent on
the variation requested and will be flagged as offline.
The “Add”, “Remove”, “Add All” and “Remove All” buttons are used for the addition or
removal of points from the Master Point List onto the Configured Point List. The “Add” button
will add the selected Master Point into the Configured Point List in the order added or at the
highlighted position. A double click with the left mouse button on a selected point in the
Master Point List will also add the point into the Configured Point List. The “Remove” button
will remove the highlighted point in the Configured list.
The “Move Up” and “Move Down” buttons are used to reposition the CPI for the selected
point in the Configured list by one position.
S1V2DNP/EN HI/A11 IEC Configurator

(IE) 8 MiCOM S1V2

1.1.9.1.1 Binary inputs

The Master Points List is a dynamic list and will display all unfitted points in grey italics
based on the IED model number and hardware. Below the list is a Hide Unfitted Points
check box and by selecting the check box will remove all unfitted points from the Master
Point List. Unfitted points have a similar use as Separator points.
The Remove Unfitted button is used to remove all unfitted points from the Configured Points
List.
A Class column is available in the Configured Points List which displays the configured class
setting for every configured point in the list. The class setting is selected in the Class of Data
Point list as Disabled, Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3.
Alternatively a right-click menu is displayed if the Configured Points List is currently selected
and a mouse button right-click is made. Selecting an item in this list will assign all configured
points to the same class.
A Source column is shown in the Configured Points List and displays a description type from
where each point is generated.
IEC Configurator S1V2DNP/EN HI/A11

MiCOM S1V2 (IE) 9

1.1.9.1.2 Binary outputs

The Binary Outputs only includes the selection of points and ordering functions.

1.1.9.1.3 Counters
The configuration of the Counters includes two settings for each point added to the
Configured Points List. The Class column and setting is the same as described for Binary
Inputs section 0.
A Frozen check box allows each point to be selected as frozen or not frozen.
Alternatively a right-click menu is displayed if the Configured Points List is currently selected
and a mouse button right-click is made. Selecting an item in the top list will assign all
configured points to the same class. Selecting an item in the bottom list will check or
uncheck the Frozen box for every point.

1.1.9.1.4 Analogue inputs

The configuration of the Analogue Inputs includes Class and Deadband settings for each
point added to the Configured Points List. The Class column and setting is the same as
described for Binary Inputs section 0. Each point will also display a Scaling Group and is
described in further detail in the Integer Scaling section 1.1.9.2.
S1V2DNP/EN HI/A11 IEC Configurator

(IE) 10 MiCOM S1V2

The Deadband settings are shown below the Configured Points List. The deadband value is
entered in the Deadband textbox and the corresponding unit is displayed in the Units field.
The deadband value can be set in terms of a Primary, Secondary or Normalised value as
selected in the Display list. For correct scaling the scaling factors for each Analogue
Input point must be uploaded from the relay as part of the DNP 3.0 File. S&R-Courier
will convert the deadband values back to normalised values before downloading them to the
relay and saving the file. The scaling factors are determined by the CT and VT ratios.
The relay will use the normalised values (based on 1A/110V) during the analogue event
scanning process. The deadband scanning will not account for changes to the CT/VT ratios
made after the DNP configuration has been downloaded to the relay.
A right-click menu is displayed if the Configured Points List is currently selected and a
mouse button right-click is made. Selecting an item in the top list will assign all configured
points to the same class. Selecting an item in the bottom list will assign all configured points
to display the same scaling display value.

1.1.9.2 Integer scaling

The Integer Scaling displays the Group Name and Scaling Factor for every analogue group.
Selecting a group name in the list will make the Scaling Factor available for editing. The
Scaling Factor of each group will scale every point data in the Analogue Inputs configured
list corresponding to that group.
IEC Configurator S1V2DNP/EN HI/A11

MiCOM S1V2 (IE) 11

1.1.9.3 Default variation

The Default Variation tab displays the Objects for each available group. The default
variation defines which format is assigned to the Object. The Default Variation is assigned
from a drop-down menu displaying the available variations for that Object.

1.1.10 Print IED DNP 3.0 Files

1. Choose Print from the File menu or click the button. The Windows’ Print Setup
dialog is displayed.

2. Use F1 or the button to obtain context sensitive help.
