2The source of the DNP events recorded to the device Event log is identified as the general Setpoint #17.
Either an operating threshold, or deadband should be specified to generate events for numeric (AI and BC)
objects, using one of the three allowable relations:
1. Delta – a new event is generated when the absolute value of the difference between the last reported value of
the point and its current value exceeds the specified deadband value.
2. More than (Over) - a new event is generated when the point value rises over the specified threshold, and then
when the point value returns below the threshold taking into consideration a predefined hysteresis.
3. Less than (Under) - a new event is generated when the point value drops below the specified threshold, and
then when the point value returns above the threshold taking into consideration a predefined hysteresis.
A hysteresis for the point return threshold is 0.05 Hz for frequency and 2% of the operating threshold for all other
points.
The scan time for binary input change events is 50 ms with a timestamp precision at +/-10 ms. The scan time for
analog input and binary counter change events is 200 ms.
Freeze Requests on Binary Counter Objects
Acceptable object variation and qualifier combinations included in the device response are specified in Table 3-7.
The Immediate Freeze, Immediate Freeze-No Acknowledgement, Freeze and Clear, Freeze and Clear-No
Acknowledgement DNP commands can be applied to all Binary Counters objects supported by the PM172. These
registers are used to access the Frozen Binary Counters.
