DNP3 points
See the engineering manual for instructions on how to configure DNP3
with PCM600.
Point configuration
The DNP3 point map is configurable in PCM600. All points in the IED may be
remapped. In PCM600, the unmapped points in the variables list on the left may be
inserted to the active point list on the right.
Point gaps may be inserted if wanted. However, too many and too big gaps are not
recommended. Point gaps cannot be read by the client.
Class assignment
Class assignment allows the events generated in the IED to be reported as DNP3
events. Some configurations exceed the class assignment possibilities defined by the
standard.

Binary outputs status (BOS) points exist only if the corresponding control relay output
block (CROB) point has been inserted in the active point list.
Fault record
Fault record is a mechanism to browse through disturbance records. It shows a
snapshot of important information from each existing disturbance record.
Description
Integrity class 0 scan returns gap.
Value is available only via static scan.
Point does not generate events.
Point is returned in the class 0 scan.
Point does not generate events.
Point is returned in the class 0 scan.
Point generates events for the selected class or classes.
Point is not returned in the class 0 scan.
Point generates events for the selected class or classes.
