DNP3 analysis and implementations

This project aims to simulate DNP3 master and slave devices that are connected through serial communication.to analyze and detect how commands and data are transferred between them by this protocol.Distributed network protocol version 3.0 (DNP3) is one of the most dominant open SCADA protocol. It is the telecommunications standard that defines communications between Master stations, remote telemetry units (RTUs) and other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). It was developed to achieve interoperability among systems in the electric utility, oil , gas, water/waste water and security industries. GIS interface for SCADA systems is one of the modern technique that allow the operator on the SCADA central control site to have more visual and noticeable information about the electrical distribution line rather than the traditional ways that used usually. This project aims to simulate DNP3 master and slave devices that are connected through serial communication.to analyze and detect how commands and data are transferred between them by this protocol. The project also aim to create GIS interface for small part of data that simulate some electrical line status on the slave device .this data is to be transmitted to the master device by DNP3 protocol and displayed as real time data on developed GIS map. The project aim has been met successfully and the serial connection between master and slave PCs and detection and analysis of data transfer by DNP3 protocol was achieved and the real time GIS interface was created successfully. Some limitations were discovered and must be eliminated in the future
