Outstation (FB)¶

FUNCTION_BLOCK Outstation IMPLEMENTS IOutstation

Function block representing a DNP3 outstation.

An Outstation needs to be configured regarding its

• data model (data points and there type/variation etc.)

• communication (TCP vs. serial)

Outstation data points of same type are grouped in a data point group. Data point groups needed for a specific Outstation do specify the OutstationDataModel which is connected to Outstation input dataModel. A specific OutstationConfiguration (actually either OutstationConfigurationIP or OutstationConfigurationCOM) is also connected to Outstation input configuration. If the Outstation is enabled, the dataModel and the configuration is checked for consistency.
