2026 Event Schedule

This course extends the morning’s Introduction to IEEE 1815 (DNP3) by looking at more advanced usage of DNP3, interoperability issues and cybersecurity for DNP3.

This course will discuss considerations for using DNP3 in order to meet complex functional requirements that exceed those covered in the introductory session. The use of the DNP3 Device Profile as a means to gauge device capability and system interoperability will be discussed.

Advanced DNP3 features such as unsolicited reporting, device attributes, data sets and cybersecurity (DNP3 Secure Authentication) will be described, together with guidelines for their use.

Practitioners and users who are familiar with using DNP3 will gain benefit from this course without attending the introductory session, but for most people the Monday afternoon introductory course should be considered a prerequisite.
