What is DNP?
DNP (Distributed Network Protocol) is a set of communications protocols used between various types of data acquisition and control equipment. It is primarily used in utilities such as electric, gas, water, and wastewater industries to communicate between a master station (control center) and remote terminal units (RTUs), intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), and other devices.
