SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl with DNP3 telecontrol protocol
Widely distributed outstations (Remote Terminal Units) can be controlled and monitored with the DNP3 telecontrol protocol via serial or Ethernet TCP/IP communication links from a telecontrol center in SIMATIC PCS 7.
The control center integrated with SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl into the operator system of the process control system is the master during telecontrol communication. The Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) represent its "slaves".
Note:
Telecontrol with DNP3 is possible together with SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl V7.1 and SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.1 (SP2 and higher in each case).
