Configuring DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Points

The Geo SCADA Expert DNP3 SCADAPack E driver supports the following DNP3 SCADAPack analog point types:

You configure the properties of each analog point using the appropriate DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Point Form. Each Form has several tabs. This section covers configuration of properties on the Analog Point and Mapping tabs of each Point Form, plus the Control tab of the DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Output Point Form.

For both DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Input Point and DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Output Points, use the Analog Point tab to:

For DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Input Points and DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Output Points that are Physical Inputs or Physical Outputs, use the Mapping tab to:

For DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Output Points that can be controlled by Geo SCADA Expert, there are two additional tabs: a Control Tab and a Control Checks tab.

Use the Control tab to:

For each DNP3 SCADAPack Output point that Geo SCADA Expert is to control exclusively, or for which point control alters between Geo SCADA Expert and ISaGRAF, ensure that the point’s Control aggregate is enabled (see Specify Whether an Output Point is Controlled by Geo SCADA Expert in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to the DNP3 Driver).
For each DNP3 SCADAPack Output point that is controlled exclusively by another application, rather than Geo SCADA Expert, you need to disable that point’s Control aggregate. For such points, fields on the Control tab are unavailable for use and you can ignore the above references.

You can optionally use the Control Checks tab to configure the Control Checks settings (see Configuring Control Checks Settings in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration).

The properties on other tabs are common to points on many advanced drivers—for information, see Tabs on Point Forms in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Advanced Drivers.

NOTE:If a SCADAPack E outstation is a Modbus Slave and a Modbus master is to read or write to 32-bit analog point data on that outstation, you should specify that data using a DNP3 SCADAPack 32-bit Point Modbus Map(see Configuring DNP3 SCADAPack 32-bit Point Modbus Maps).

If the outstations on your system are to sample analog point data for data trends, you need to configure the required Trend item(s) in the database and associate those items with the relevant analog points (see Configuring DNP3 SCADAPack E Trend Sampler Functionality).
