Serial Protocols

All learned addresses will be kept in the Device Address Table until they are active. They will also be saved in non volatile memory and recovered if device reboots, so learning process does not have to be repeated because of, for example, accidental power brakeage.

Aging timer is reset whenever message is received or sent to the specified address.

This concept makes DNP protocol configurable with the minimum number of parameters: IP port, learning IP interface and aging timer.

2.2.3.3Broadcast Messages DNP Broadcast Messages

Addresses 65521 through 65535 are DNP 3.0 broadcast addresses. RuggedServersupports broadcasts sending messages with those destination addresses received from serial port to all IP Addresses found in Device Address Table (either learned or statically configured). When DNP broadcast message is received from IP network, it will be distributed to all ports configured to support DNP protocol.

TIN Broadcast Messages

TIN broadcast messages can be received only from devices connected to the serial ports.

TIN Mode 1 Broadcast Messages

These messages will be sent to all TIN Address/Ports found in Dynamic Address Table.

TIN Mode 2 Broadcast Messages

These messages will be sent according the configuration: to all TIN addresses on every IP address found in Dynamic Address Table and/or to all Wayside Data Radio IP addresses found in Static Device Address Table.
