1.2 Implementation Table

This table contains information on how data is handled for a specific application. Some data has
been deleted from the full level 2 implementation for clarity. It is recommended that the master
(host) implements the full level 2 for future changes to this application. Bold lettering indicates
most common messages

*** indicates variation returned for an “any variation” (var 0) request.

*** a indicates variation returned for an “any variation” (var 0) request with DI/AI flag parameter
set to “without flag” or “dynamic” if all flags are normal

*** b indicates variation returned for an “any variation” (var 0) request with DI/AI flag parameter
set to “with flag” or “dynamic” if any flag is abnormal

*** c indicates variation returned for an “any variation” (var 0) request if time has not been set
in Scout (time invalid)

*** d indicates variation returned for an “any variation” (var 0) request if time has been set in
Scout (time valid)

*** e indicates variation returned for an “any variation” (var 0) when the analog data base point
is declared a 16 bit value

*** f indicates variation returned for an “any variation” (var 0) when the analog data base point
is declared a 32 bit value

1.3 Notes

The Scout will support DNP Level 2 as a slave with the following comments and exceptions.
Based on DNP-L2 described in DNP v3.00 Subset Definitions (document number P009-0IG.SUB,
version 1.00), chapter 2.

1.3.1 Change with Time

The internal clock starts at Midnight, January 1, 1990, at the default date, if set, or at the time of
the Time of Day clock, if equipped, and in this order, when the Scout is powered on. The time
may be changed via IRIG-B input, the protocol or from the maintenance console or Web Server.
Until the time is set from an external source (IRIG-B, protocol or console) or from the Time of Day
clock the time is marked as invalid.

1.3.2 Binary Events with Time

Binary event will not be reported with time when the internal time is marked as invalid. On a Class
1,2 or 3 or Obj 2, Var 0 poll binary events will be reported as Var 1. After valid time sync the
variation will be changed to Var 2.

1.3.3 Quality Flags

Quality flags for Objects 1 and 30 can be enabled, disabled or made Dynamic. When enabled or
disabled the appropriate Variation is used in the response for all points. If set to Dynamic,
Variation for “with flag” will be used for points that have any of the abnormal flags set. Otherwise
Variation for” without flag” will be used. This parameter is set via the maintenance console or the
Web Server

1.3.4 Class Data

All static points in Obj 1 (DI), Obj 20 (CI) and Obj 30 (AI) are permanently assigned to Class 0.
All event points in Obj 2 (DI) and Obj 32 (AI) are assigned to Class 1 as start up default. These
may be re assigned to Class 2 or 3 from the master on a per Obj basis.

1.3.5 File Transfer

Object 70 is used for file transfer to the Scout of mapping files etc. from Survalent’s master
station.

1.3.6 Configuration
Configurations mentioned in this document can be performed via the Maintenance console or the
Web Server connected to the RTU.

- 13 -
1.3.7 Retries and Timeouts
Retries of transmissions are only supported when in unsolicited reporting mode. Retries are
carried out when application confirms are not received within the configurable timeout (Default 4
seconds). The primary number of retries and time between can be configured (Default: 5 times
and 10 seconds). After all primary retries, secondary retries will occur (Default: 5 minutes)
indefinitely or until confirmation is received.

Application confirm must also be received within the Application Timeout period for it to be acted
on even in polling mode.

1.3.8 Unsolicited Reporting

Unsolicited reporting can be enabled or disabled on the Scout by configuration. When unsolicited
reporting is disabled by the configuration, the enable/disable message is not acted on. When the
unsolicited reporting is enabled by the configuration, the enable/disable message can be used to
include or exclude event objects (typically Class 1, 2 or 3) in unsolicited reporting. On start up the
IIN will be transmitted as unsolicited message. No Objects are enabled for unsolicited reporting at
startup. The destination address out of the Scout is configurable. (Default: 1024).

1.3.9 Source and Destination Addresses

Both the source and destination addresses in the protocol request must match the configured
addresses in the Scout.
