SUBNET’s ASE2000™ RTU Test Set Training is a hands-on, one-day training course that offers a focused and comprehensive introduction to working with the ASE Test Set.
Objectives
- Understand the various model options for the ASE Test Set
- Discover how to use the Master Mode to analyze DNP3 protocol behaviour for timing and troubleshooting
- Understand how to use the RTU Mode to perform testing on the master
- Learn to use the Monitor Mode to pinpoint problems occurring between master and slave devices, and optimize communication performance
- Understand how to set up the Loop Back Mode to simulate a master station and RTU
