Introduction

This Protocol Manual is for use with Thytronic Protective Relays, such as the DMC, NTG and PRO-N series that
support the DNP 3.0 communication protocol.

1 Introduction
This document, in conjunction with the DNP 3.0 Basic 4 Document Set, and the DNP Subset Definitions Document,
provides complete information on how to communicate via the DNP 3.0 protocol with the Thytronic ProN series
Relay.
This implementation of DNP 3.0 is fully compliant with DNP 3.0 Subset Definition Level 3, and contains significant
functionality beyond Subset Level 3.

2 DNP V3.0 Device Profile

The following table provides a “Device Profile Document” in the standard format defined in the DNP 3.0 Subset
Definitions Document. While it is referred to in the DNP 3.0 Subset Definitions as a “Document,” it is in fact a table,
and only a component of a total interoperability guide. The table, in combination with the Implementation Table
provided in Section 3 (beginning on page 7), and the Point List Tables provided in Section 4 (beginning on page 9),
should provide a complete configuration/interoperability guide for communicating with a Thytronic PRON NA11
Relay.

3 DNP V3.0 Implementation Table

The following table identifies which object variations, function codes, and qualifiers the Thytronic PRON NA11
Relay supports in both request messages and in response messages. For static (non-change-event) objects,
requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. Requests sent with
qualifiers 17 or 28 will be responded with qualifiers 17 or 28. For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are
always responded.

Note 1: A Default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2,
or 3 scans. Default variations are configurable; however, default settings for the configuration parameters are
indicated in the table above.
Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with
qualifiers 17 or 28, respectively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be
responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. (For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Writes of Internal Indications are only supported for index 7 (Restart IIN1-7)
