Battery Life Advisory

All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 512K SRAM memory, real-time clock, and CMOS. The battery should last for the life of the module. The module must be powered for approximately twenty hours before it becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged, the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and configuration data, the real-time clock, and the 512K SRAM memory for approximately 21 days. Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged. A fully charged battery will hold the BIOS settings (after being removed from its power source) for a limited number of days. When the battery is fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS settings.

Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

2.1 Configuration File

The MVI69-DNP module stores its configuration in a text file called DNP.CFG, located in the module's flash memory. When the module starts up, it reads the configuration file and uses the information to control how the DNP 3.0 Master/Slave protocol interacts with the module's application port(s).

The configuration file is arranged in Sections, with a heading in [ ] characters at the beginning of each section. Each Section contains a list of Parameters and Values, followed by an optional Comment that explains the parameter.

The following illustration shows an example of a Section, a Parameter, a Value, and a Comment.

The Parameter must be followed by a [:] (colon) character. The text following the [:] is a Value.

The module ignores "comment" text following the [#] character. Use comments to document your configuration settings.

You can get a sample configuration file for the module in the following places:

 Copy (page 34) the DNP.CFG from the module's flash memory to your PC  Copy the DNP.CFG from the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM supplied with the

2.3 Slave List

The slave list defines the IED units and their specific communication parameters for a DNP master port. Up to 40 IED units can be defined in the module to be associated with the master port. The structure of each row in the list is defined in the following table.

Column Variable Name Data Range Description If Error

1 DNP Slave Address 0 to 65534 This is the slave address for the unit to

override the default values.

1 to 65535 milliseconds

0 = Enable, Bit 1 = Unsol Msg., Bit 2 = Use DM, Bit 3 = Auto Time Sync)

This value specifies if data link frames sent to the remote device require a data link confirm. This value should always be set to zero for almost all applications.

This parameter specifies the time to wait for a data link confirm from the remote device before a retry is attempted.

level to obtain a confirmation. If this value is set to 0, retries are disabled at the data link level of the protocol. This parameter is only used if the frame is sent with confirmation requested.

Timeout period the master will wait for each response message fragment. If data link confirms are enabled, make sure the timeout period is set long enough to permit all data confirm retries.

This word contains bits that define the slave mode. The slave mode defines the functionality of the slave device and can be combined in any combination. The fields have the following definition: Enable: determines if this slave will be used. Unsol Msg.: causes an enabled unsolicited message to be sent to the slave when its RESTART IIN bit is set. This parameter is also required for unsolicited message reporting by the IED unit. Use DM: uses delay measurement. Auto Time Sync: time synchronization used when NEED TIME IIN bit set.

2.4 Command List

The command list stores the command list used by the DNP master port. This list only must be defined if the DNP master port is used. Up to 300 commands can be defined for the master port. The structure of each row in the list is shown in the following table.

Word Offset Definitions

5 Address in Slave 6 Point Count 7 DNP DB Address 8 IED DB Address 9 Poll Interval

The definition of each parameter required for each command is provided in the following table.

Bits in the Port/Flags parameter are dependent on the data type. The following table defines the Port/Flags bits for binary input, analog input and counter data points.

Port/Flags Bits Description Decimal Equivalent

0 to 1 Communication port (0=Internal, 2=Port 2) 0 or 2 2 Enable/Disable Command (1=Enable, 0=Disable) 4 3 RBE Flag (0=Events from IED, 1=Events by module) 8 4 to 7 Not Used

For these data types the qualifier used in the data request is dependent on the Point Count and Address in Slave fields in the command as follows:

If Point Count < 0, then use Qualifier 06h (All points, packed & -Point Count = # of points to consider) If Address in Slave = 0 & Point Count > 0, then use Qualifier 00h or 01h (points 0 to Point Count -1) If Address in Slave > 0 & Point Count > 0, then use Qualifier 00h or 01h (Address in Slave to Address in Slave + Point Count - 1)

The following table defines the Port/Flags bits for binary output and analog output points.

Port/Flags Bits Description Decimal Equivalent

0 to 1 Communication port (0=Internal, 2=Port 2) 0 or 2 2 Enable/Disable Command (1=Enable, 0=Disable) 4 3 Poll Type (0=Poll, 1=Exception) 8 4 Data Source (0=DNP Database, 1=IED Database) 16 5 to 7 Not Used

For these data types the qualifier used in the data request is dependent on the Point Count and Address in Slave fields in the command as follows:

If Address in Slave = 0 & Point Count > 0, then use Qualifier 17h or 28h (Point Count specified starting at point 0) If Address in Slave > 0 & Point Count > 0, then use Qualifier 17h or28h (points from Address in Slave to Address in Slave + Point Count - 1) If Point Count <= 0, then ignore because this is illegal for outputs.
