This section gives three typical scenarios in which DNP3 devices could be used with
a ClearSCADA system. These scenarios are designed to act as a guide when configuring your own ClearSCADA system to communicate with DNP3 devices—they are not designed to document the many possible scenarios in which DNP3 may be used.
Scenarios in which you would use a DNP3 driver include:
- ClearSCADA as a DNP3 Master Communicating with DNP3 Outstations
- Third-Party Master Communicating with a ClearSCADA DNP3 Slave
- ClearSCADA Configured as a DNP3 Master and DNP3 Slave.
For an example of using a DNP3 master and slave in a Virtual Terminal (VT) scenario, see Configuring DNP3 Virtual Terminals.
