Configure SCADAPack Tables

Geo SCADA Expert is capable of configuring the following tables per SCADAPack x70 Device:

• DNP3 Routing Table

  With a SCADAPack x70 device that communicates using the DNP3 protocol, use this table to configure the routes to the DNP3 Controlling Station, DNP3 Peer, and/or DNP3 Remote devices with which that SCADAPack x70 device communicates.

  With a SCADAPack x70 device that is operating as a DNP3 Controlling Station, use the device's DNP3 Routing Table to route to each DNP3 Outstation that is to report to the device.

  With a SCADAPack x70 device that is operating as a DNP3 Outstation, you only have to route to the DNP3 Controlling Station if you want the DNP3 Outstation to report unsolicited events to the DNP3 Controlling Station before the Controlling Station has initiated communication with it. You add an entry to that device's DNP3 Routing Table to route to the DNP3 Controlling Station.

• IP Routing Table

  Use this table to enable the SCADAPack x70 device to use IP routing in order to connect to commercial TCP/IP networks. While the SCADAPack x70 device is not a TCP/IP router, it can provide a subset of packet forwarding and IP gateway services that enable the device to:

  • Route IP packets to remote subnetworks by using local interfaces on the device
  • Provide services for routing between different TCP/IP interfaces on the device.
• IP Firewall Table

  Use this table to restrict the flow of network traffic to the SCADAPack x70 device. Use the table to specify the addresses and services from which the SCADAPack x70 device is permitted to receive incoming network traffic. Network traffic transmitted from addresses and services that are not included in the table is ignored.

• Store Forward Table

  Use this table to enable the SCADAPack x70 device to receive messages that are meant for a remote station and to re-address them according to the translation table and forward the message to the remote station. You use this operation when there is no direct Modbus link between a host computer and the remote sites.
