2.1 DNP3 Overview
Communications options support DNP3 Level 2 protocol and change events with unsolicited messaging.
| Serial Settings Supported | ||
|---|---|---|
| Parity | Data Bits | Stop Bits |
| no | 8 | 1 |
| no | 8 | 2 |
| even | 8 | 1 |
| odd | 8 | 1 |
Refer to Section 5 regarding DNP3 protocol and point list.
2.2 Modbus Overview
Communications options can be set to communicate on standard Modbus networks using either of two transmission modes:
| Transmission Mode | Advantage of Mode | Serial Settings Supported | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASCII | less strict serial timing requirements without causing errors | Parity | Data Bits | Stop Bits |
| no | 7 | 2 | ||
| even | 7 | 1 | ||
| odd | 7 | 1 | ||
| RTU | higher throughput than ASCII due to more data transmission with less overhead | Parity | Data Bits | Stop Bits |
| no | 8 | 1 | ||
| no | 8 | 2 | ||
| even | 8 | 1 | ||
| odd | 8 | 1 | ||
Refer to Section 6 regarding Modbus protocol and register set.
