OPAL-RT's DNP3 Slave I/O interface allows connecting with DNP3 master and read/write analog and binary data points. The read operation can be configured either in polling mode or in unsolicited response mode. Using a standard network interface card, this protocol can be easily and rapidly integrated into any simulation model. |

DNP3 is an open and public protocol developed with the aim to achieve open, standards-based Interoperability between substation computers, RTUs, IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) and master stations (except inter-master station communications) for the electric utility industry. It is now used across several industries. |

Product Selection Guide
This communication protocol can be added via software license to OPAL-RT real-time simulators without any additional hardware add-on modules.
The base license OP3231 comes with 50 data points (visit this page more information on data points) but if additional data points are required, then additional data points may be added via product OP3050.
Since real-time simulators come with one available Ethernet port, if additional physical Ethernet ports are required on the real-time simulator, these can be added via a kit.
Note that for applications requiring many Ethernet ports,the OP4510 and OP4512 simulators are not recommended.
