The ConfigPro Configuration System
ConfigPro 5 was preceded by versions 3
and 4 and all are a complete re-write of
version 2xx version 2.xx
ConfigPro 5 is a full 32 bit application and
t th f ll i 32 bit ti supports the following 32 bit operating
systems; WINNT, WIN98, WIN95,
Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Projects & Devices configured in ConfigPro
V2.xx & V3.xx can be converted to
C fi P 5 f t i b ilt i tilit ConfigPro 5 format using a built in utility.
NOTE: Projects CANNOT be be converted
back to ConfigPro 2 or 3 from ConfigPro 5.
The ConfigPro Configuration System
Will require installation of the 32 bit
version of the Borland Database Engine
To run both ConfigPro V2.xx & V5.xx on
the same computer, you must install both
th 16 & 32 bit i f th B l d the 16 & 32 bit versions of the Borland
Database Engine.
ConfigPro 5 is still mired in the DOS days
in that it only supports 8 character
names. However, project folder names names. However, project folder names
can now be greater than 8 characters
long a limitation in ConfigPro 2.

Configuring DPAs
DPAs
As mentioned previously DPAs are
applications intended to communicate data
to master stations in the format and protocol
required by the master.
HARRIS
DNP3 Master
All DPAs will have some basic
characteristics in common, regardless of the
protocol the application is intended to use.

IEC870-5-101 Master

There are a few basic concepts that a user
must be familiar with before attempting to

DPAs LRUs
LRUs (Logical Remote Units) allow an RTU
to communicate to one or multiple master
stations, as if it were multiple RTUs.

protocols have a limitation on the quantity of
data a master will accept from one RTU By

Uploading Configurations
A configuration can be uploaded from an
RTU, and converted back into table format to
be viewed in ConfigPro
Before a configuration can be uploaded you
must ensure the followingg
You have a copy of the configuration to
upload onto (does not have to be the latest
version)
The device configuration you are uploading
onto needs to have the same firmware as
the device you are uploading from
Th USE FIRMWARE TYPE ti i The USE FIRMWARE TYPE option is
selected in the device properties of the
configuration you are uploading onto.
Uploading Configurations - Procedure
The instructor will demonstrate the
procedure to upload a configuration from a procedure to upload a configuration from a
device
Procedure
L i t th RTU d t th 68k it Login to the RTU, and enter the 68k monitor
Adjust baud rate (on D20ME and D25 only)
Upload the configuration (Shift+F7)
E it th 68k it d l t f Exit the 68k monitor, and logout of
Wesmaint
Convert the configuration, from the device
menu menu.
Converting Configurations
If you have configuration created in previous
versions of ConfigPro (2xx or 3xx) they can versions of ConfigPro (2.xx or 3.xx) they can
be converted to ConfigPro4 format
Configurations can not be converted from
ConfigPro4 format to ConfigPro 2 or 3 g g
The old version project is not destroyed, a
new copy of the project is created in the

The conversion tool is located under the
tools menu bar in ConfigPro.
