Hi all,
I'm using DNP3.0 communication in my SCADA application. Now I need to provide the DNP3.0 Device Profile for my RTUs.
Is there a possible way to export the profile programatically from LabVIEW?
If not, can anyone guide me what information shall I include in the profile? Is it just the DNP3.0 configurations?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gevorg,
I am sorry to say that you can't export the profile programatically from LabVIEW until now.
As for how to create the DNP3 XML file, the DNP Users Group provides a ZIP file containing schema file, XSLT file, example XML device profile etc. Only the DNP Users Group members can download. For now, National Instruments is also unware of the XML schema and need to ask TMW or DNP User Group.
However, as a DNP3 VI library provider, National Instruments provides an XML profile document, which you can use as the basis for your own specific device profile. You can find the document at Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-Industrial Communications for DNP3»DNP3 Device Profile.
There are 2 attachments perhaps could help you.
1. As a SCL provider, TMW provides National Instruments a rtf version of device profile, SDNP CI Guide.rtf.
2. And in the SCL, there are some creating XML functions. But it can create a XML device configuration file only containing point lists, not a complete XML device profile. Even when use Test Harness, it creates an outstation XML configuration file only containing point lists. I also attached the outstation XML configuration file, DNPDviceConfiguration.xml.
Best Regards!
