FBx Series DNP3 Driver Addressing
The FBx Series DNP3 Driver can perform standard DNP3 read/write(s) and reads for flow computer specific information (file reads).
There are five file types:
| Data Type | Initialism | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Alarm | AL | Alarm Logs |
| Event | EL | Event Logs |
| History | HL | History Logs |
| DP Meter Configuration | MCG | Differential pressure meter configuration |
| Linear Meter Configuration | MCL | Linear meter configuration |
A Floboss DNP3 driver address is made up of 2 or 3 parts that are dependent on the file type and separated by a colon.
Link your I/O and Calculations tag to your FBx Series DNP3 Driver tag and a button [...] will appear next to the Read and History address fields. This button opens the Address Select, a tool that will guide you through the addressing options.
