These smart grid controllers communicate in Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3), which is used widely for communication between various types of data acquisition and control equipment. This protocol enables outstations to create a reliable link to a provider's SCADA system and other equipment. Features include scalable smart grid controllers available in Ethernet 2.0 to meet the needs of individual applications independent of location-specific protocols, a universal smart grid solution supporting IEC and DNP3 protocols and Wago-I/O-Pro configuration software designed to simplify parameterization for any application. This CoDeSys configuration tool helps to enable easy integration in accordance with IEC 60870-5-101/-104, 61850-7, 61400-25 and DNP3.
