DNP3 Data Type Migration

Introduction

When you migrate an RTU application from a BMXNOR0200H RTU module to a BMENOR2200H RTU module, note the conversion of some specific data types and variable names.

These tables follow:

DNP3 Server RTU Point Data Type Migration
DNP3 Client RTU Point Data Type Migration

Apply this information when you configure DNP3 communications in the BMENOR2200H DTM.
