In the areas of energy and transport, but especially in the water & wastewater and oil & gas sectors, plants often extend over very large areas. An optimal plant overview of the decentralized process areas is absolutely necessary. With the help of telecontrol technology, the outstations are connected via WAN to one or more central control centers and monitored and controlled in front of them.
The telecontrol protocol according to DNP3 standard (IEEE1815) also offers solutions for this. With DNP3, the widely distributed process stations, so-called RTUs, can also be connected safely and efficiently to one or more control centers over long distances.
Based on the SIMATIC S7 controllers and TIAP, Siemens offers solutions for DNP3

Content
What is DNP3 (IEEE1815)?
Introduction in DNP3 protocol
System feature of the PLC based SIMATIC Net DNP3 RTUs
basic DNP3 settings of TIM/CP (Device Configuration)
configuration of an DNP3 connection
time synchronization in DNP3 protocol
transferring analog values, counter values and Boolean values incl. time stamping and event-buffering
Transferring Commands and Setpoint (incl. variations Direct Operate, Select and Operate, Feedback)
peer to peer communication (communication between RTUs)
IP/Ethernet - based communication and serial communication
Creation/configuration of the DNP3 telecontrol program in the data point editor
Loading and commissioning of DNP3 stations/RTUs with TIM/CP based on S7-1200/ET200SP or S7-1500
Exercise for simple system configurations with Ethernet-based networks
Exercise with RTU based on the S7-1200, as well as SIMATIC S7-1500 (or ET200SP Distributed Controller)
optionally also serial leased lines (or serial radio networks)
Exercise with cross-communication communication between the RTUs (peer to peer communication)
Diagnostic concept and remote programming/remote diagnosis (PG routing)
Exercise
The exercise examples are carried out virtually via the Internet. The participants can access a cloud-based TIAP via web browser, configure the telecontrol stations and put them into operation.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the programming language STEP 7/TIA Portal as well as experience in the handling of the PG are required.
Technical requirements:
Internet connection
Data transfer rate of 16 Mbit/s
Up to 50 GB data volume
Web browser with HTML5 support (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Safari)
Additional recommendations
Microsoft Teams App
Two monitors or one monitor and a tablet
Note
We also offer training for the German and European markets.
