we are using maxdna DCS system and want to have some data from an other RTU unit as the DNP slave. Now the other system requires the master DCS address and couldn't find. Can you help?
II am faced with the same challenge with the Max Controls DCS system.
Look to see if your RTU offers an additional serial port for Modbus. If so, depending on use of DPUs as part of your DCS, you could use a serial port on a DPU that can be configured for Modbus. If you find DNP source code in VB, you could write script in the DPU to communicate serial DNP to your RTU through its comm. Port.
Max Controls currently does not offer a DNP interface. Looking at third party software, I found it cumbersome and confusing to integrate DNP protocol with the DCS. I elected to use an RTU with multiple output ports defined for HMI, DNP and Modbus over Serial or TCP/IP.
As part of an upgrade, I am working to link to the DCS through the use of a maxLINK station. The maxLINK station is to be used to communicate with AB PLC and the RTU Modbus using TCP/IP interface supplied with the station.
