Change-driven transmission of process data between RTU and control center
Signaling of RTU, control center or connection failure
Automatic data updating for all communication partners involved following troubleshooting and following the startup of the RTU or control center
Chronological processing of process data
Time tagging of all data frames at the place of origin allows process data to be archived by the process control system in the correct chronological order
The time of the DNP3 stations in the WAN can be synchronized via SIMATIC WinCC (including summertime/wintertime switchover)
Local data storage
The TIM communication module can temporarily store (for several hours or even days) message frames should the connection or the communication partner fail
Intermediate storage of message frames of lower priority in the case of priority-controlled data transmission (with dial-up networks or quantity-dependent data transmission costs)
Operating modes
The DNP3 telecontrol protocol supports the following operating modes:
