Using an RUT976 with DNP3 package installed, Firmware Version RUTE_R_00.07.20
I want to read values like Signal Strength, Temperature, etc from the RUT976 into GeoScada and have configured the DNP3 Outstation to suit. GeoSCADA is reporting a good connection to the outstation, but I cannot add data sources to the outstation.
Do I have to create a DNP3 Client on the RUT976 pointing at itself and then have that client make requests to itself to be able to create the data sources in the outstation? When I tried this I killed the connection to the GeoSCADA server.
Regarding your question about exposing internal metrics from the RUT976 to GeoSCADA via DNP3:
You do not need to create a DNP3 Client on the router pointing at itself. Instead, the correct procedure is:
Log in to the RUT976 WebUI and go to Services → DNP3 → Outstation.
Open the “Data Sources" section.
Add new Points (Analog or Binary) and use the “Source” dropdown to map them to internal system parameters such as Signal Strength, Temperature, or other available metrics.
Save and apply the configuration.
Once these points are defined, GeoSCADA will detect them, and you can add them as data sources without any conflicts. This approach leverages the Outstation’s built-in capability to serve internal metrics directly.
For more information please refer to this wiki article:
Yes, that is exactly what I expected the procedure to be. However, when I get to step 3 the “Source” dropdown is not populated with only the message “– No options available –”.
No, you don’t need to create a DNP3 Client pointing at the RUT976 itself; instead, you should go to the Services > DNP3 > Outstation page and look for the “Data Configuration” section. There, you can directly add “Points” (Analog or Binary) and map them to internal system parameters like Signal Strength or Temperature using the “Source” dropdown menu.
is there possible to get data from RTU via ethernet connection and then transmit it to Two Master Scada also via ethernet.
Previously we use serial communication from RTU with RUT956, 2 Master Scada already get the data, but now we want to use RTU ethernet port and also with different device (RUT200)
RTU are using DNP3 protocols with only one Slave configuration, but we need to get the data to 2 Master Scada.
I’m aware about DNP3 service acts as Master or Outstation. Is it can work in both mode? as Slave to get data from RTU, an as Master to send data to 2 Master Scada.
