system.dnp3.directOperateBinary
note
The following function uses system.dnp3 and the Legacy DNP3 driver. See system.dnp for DNP3 functions using the DNP3 driver.
This function is used in Python Scripting.
Description​
Issues a Direct-Operate command for digital control operations at binary output points (CROB).
Client Permission Restrictions​
Permission Type: DNP3 Management
Client access to this scripting function is blocked to users that do not meet the role/zone requirements for the above permission type. This function is unaffected when run in the Gateway scope.
Syntax​
system.dnp3.directOperateBinary(deviceName, indexes, opType, tcCode, count, onTime, offTime)
Parameters​
| Type | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| String | deviceName | The name of the DNP3 device driver. |
| List | indexes | A list of indexes of the objects to be modified in the outstation. |
| Integer | opType | The type of the operation. 0=NUL, 1=PULSE_ON, 2=PULSE_OFF, 3=LATCH_ON, 4=LATCH_OFF |
| Integer | tcCode | The Trip-Close code, used in conjunction with the opType. 0=NUL, 1=CLOSE, 2=TRIP |
| Integer | count | The number of times the outstation shall execute the operation. |
| Long | onTime | The duration that the output drive remains active, in millis. [optional] |
| Long | offTime | The duration that the output drive remains non-active, in millis. [optional] |
Returns​
The DNP3 status code of the response, as an integer.
Scope​
Gateway, Vision Client, Perspective Session
Code Examples​
Example #1
# This example shows latching off 3 binary output points with the Direct-Operate command.
off = system.dnp3.LATCH_OFF
system.dnp3.directOperateBinary("Dnp3", [0, 1, 2], off)
Example #2
# This example shows setting a binary output point at index 3 to pulse at 5 second intervals
# with the Direct-Operate command.
pulse = system.dnp3.PULSE_OFF
trip = system.dnp3.TRIP
system.dnp3.directOperateBinary("Dnp3", [3], pulse, trip, onTime=5000, offTime=5000)
