[00:00] Hello and welcome back! In our previous video, we configured the connection between N3uron’s DNP Client module and an RTAC Controller using the DNP3 protocol. Today, we’ll show you how to configure tags from the RTAC Controller and integrate them into the N3uron data model. First, we need to identify the object group and variation for the server’s tags. For example, the first tag we’ll configure is a Binary Input, which belongs to Object Group 1 and Variation 2. If needed, you can follow the same process to identify other tags object groups, and variations as you proceed. Let’s get started with configuring the tags in N3uron.

[01:02] I’ll navigate to the Tags configuration subsection under the Config tab. The first tag we’re going to set up is the Binary Input. I will enable the source for this tag and select the module type as DnpClient and the module name as DnpClient, just like we named the DnpClient instance. I will also enter the device name, which is formed by the channel name, forward slash, and device name we configured earlier. In this case, it’s RTAC, forward slash, Device. Next, I’ll configure the remaining tag settings. These will be Group 1, Variation 2. If you’re unsure about the variation, you can select Variation 0 to let the slave device determine it automatically. I’ll set the index to 0, select the field as Value, and set the tag type to Boolean.

[02:03] This tag will be read-only since it’s used for monitoring. Next, we’ll configure a Binary Output, which will be Group 10, Variation 2. The tag type will be Boolean, and it will have read and write permissions, allowing us to send commands to the RTAC controller. I’ll set the field to Value. Finally, I’ll set up an Analog Input, which will be Group 30, Variation 1. The index will be set to 0, the field to Value, and the tag type to Number.

[03:06] For all of these tags, I’ll leave the scan rate at the default value. When everything is set up, I’ll head over to the Data section and switch to the Real Time tab to confirm the tags are being read and updated properly. As expected, the tags display their values correctly, and the Binary Output tag lets us send write commands to the controller. And that’s it! We’ve successfully configured the tags using N3uron’s DNP Client module. Thanks for watching, and see you in the next video!
