Unlock Significant Cellular Data Savings with Smarter DNP3 Polling Strategies
This white paper demonstrates how optimizing DNP3 data requests by targeting only necessary data points rather than default integrity polls can dramatically reduce cellular data usage for remote terminal units. Through Wireshark analysis and practical examples, the paper quantifies data savings and outlines best practices for efficient SCADA communications, especially when operating under cellular data constraints.
Key topics include:
- DNP3 Protocol and Data Efficiency
- Integrity Polls: Function and Impact
- Targeted Data Point Retrieval
- Wireshark Data Usage Examples
- Practical Data Plan Considerations
Why utilities should care:
Reducing unnecessary data transmission lowers operational costs, prevents cellular overages, and maximizes the value of limited data plans. Efficient DNP3 polling strategies also improve network performance and ensure reliable, cost-effective SCADA system operation.
