4. Move down to the next cell (RP1 Addr
ess). This cell controls the DNP3.0 address of the IED. Up to 32 IEDs can
be connected to one spur, therefore it is necessary for each IED to have a unique address so that messages
from the master control station are accepted by only one IED. DNP3.0 uses a decimal number between 1
and 65519 for the Relay Address. It is important that no two IEDs have the same address.

supported by the IED 1200 bps, 2400 bps, 4800 bps, 9600 bps, 19200 bps and 38400 bps. Make sure that
the baud rate selected on the IED is the same as that set on the master station.

3.2.1 DNP3 CONFIGURATOR
A PC support package for DNP3.0 is available as part of the supplied settings application software (MiCOM S1 Agile)
to allow configuration of the device'
s DNP3.0 response. The configuration data is uploaded from the device to the
PC in a block of compressed format data and downloaded in a similar manner after modification. The new DNP3.0
