5.2 PRODUCT SETUP
The C70 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. DNP is enabled when the

nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the C70 maintains two sets of DNP
data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the C70 at one time.
The DNP Channels sub-menu is shown below.

for each channel. Once DNP is assigned to a serial port, DNP is the only protocol running on that port; Modbus or IEC
60870-5-103 are disabled. If DNP is assigned to RS485, the protocol must be set to DNP on the serial port configuration as
well, for the change to take effect. When the
DNP protocol can be used over TCP/IP on the Ethernet ports. When the

on the DNP protocol.

Changes to these settings take effect when power has been cycled to the relay.
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in unreliable operation of
NOTE
those protocols.
The setting is the DNP slave address. This number identifies the C70 on a DNP communications link. Each
DNP ADDRESS
DNP slave should be assigned a unique address.
The C70 can specify a maximum of five clients for its DNP connections. These are IP addresses for the controllers to which
the C70 can connect. The settings in this sub-menu are shown below.
