DNP3 counter input points

DNP3 running counter point syntax

Telem_Server_<ScopeName>:%<GroupName.OutstationName>;<PointType>;<PointNumber>{;[<PointName>]}

• PointType: RC

• PointNumber: a decimal number from 0 to 65535 that maps to the "Point Number" field in the Telemetry Server dashboard. The maximum point number is device-dependent.

• PointName (optional): a descriptive name for the point, for example, LiftStationPump_01. If specified, the PointName must be enclosed in brackets.

  • If PointName is not specified, the point is assigned a default name that uses point type and number, in the format PointType_PointNumber, for example, RC_3.

  • If you want to create the new point in a different group than the Outstation group, include the group name: GroupName.PointName.
