Hello and thanks for the help in the past.
I am using an AB Micrologic 1400 Series B to modbus message a solar inverter for status, amps, volts etc. (Modbus Master - Channel 0)
We are then sending this information to the hydro utility so they can then view and shut down the inverter if required. (DNP3 Slave - Channel 2)
This is usually done by the utility but in this case the local utility doesn't have a programmer so they asked us to help.
So the communication between the Inverter and the PLC is working and I can see data in our registers. I have also verifed with the help of the hydro utility that they have estiblished a connection to our device and can see traffic on the DNP3 layer.
I need to take the data that I have from the inverter and send it to hydro. (Currently stored in N20:0 length 40).
Hydro Information:
All points are class 1, and analog values are 16 bit. Hydro addresses are AI001 to AI008. I think this goes into the DNP3 slave configuration but am not sure how this works. I have been reading the manual but still am unsure. I called Rockwell tech support who where less than helpful telling me since I didn't have any analog inputs connected I can't send out analog data.... (I think he was confused!!)
Do I setup the DNP3 slave configuration and then just move or copy the data from one register to another?
Thanks....
