INTRODUCTION
Vendors must produce a Device Profile Document for each device they manufacture implementing
DNP3. The Device Profile Document clearly identifies any deviations from the implementation levels
described in this document and any other issues that may arise when determining the device's com-
patibility with another device.
NOTE Do not confuse the Device Profile Document with the Device Profile Object defined in the DNP3
documentation.
The Device Profile Document provides a standard printed and electronic format for describing the
capabilities and current settings of a DNP3 device. It provides both a text document as well as
a machine readable file which can be used to transfer a device's configuration electronically.
The specification, to which this document is an appendix, gives an overview of the techniques and infor-
mation required to generate an XML document that describes the capabilities and current/default con-
figuration of an Outstation. The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and XML Schemas provide a widely
used, robust, and powerful mechanism for exchanging information between applications. XML and
XML Schema support is available on most platforms and in most development/runtime environments.
The instructions for completing Device Profile Forms and information are given in Clause 14 of
the specification - Interoperability.
NOTE There are empty "placeholder" sections in the Device Profile document. These are intentionally
blank, being used so that section numbering does not change when entries are deleted from the
document. Likewise, to ensure existing section numbers do not change, all new entries are added
at the end of the relevant section.
