IEEE 1815 (DNP3)

Description

IEEE 1815 specifies the DNP3 protocol structure, functions, and application alternatives. In addition to defining the structure and operation of DNP3, the standard defines three application levels that are interoperable. The simplest application is for low-cost distribution feeder devices, and the most complex is for full-featured master stations. The intermediate application level is for substation and other intermediate devices. The protocol is suitable for operation on a variety of communication media consistent with the makeup of most electric power communication systems. The simpler version addresses serial links for substation and feeder device automation, as well as for communications between control centers and substations.
