Force Point Push for Digital/Analog Data
All the points in a DNP3 Object can be forced to update their data only through Point Push feature.
When
“
Force DI Points to Point Push
”
parameter in DNP3 General Setting Tab is set to True, all the
Points in Obj01 will start in Point Push mode. However, it takes a single snap-shot of all the point values
at start up and will not mark the points with changed bit set in the flag. This feature can be used when
the Point Push interface is being used with the Soft SOE block application, to not to detect change of
data repeatedly for the same point.
Similarly, use Force DO Points to Point Push, Force AI Points to Point Push and Force AO Points to Point
Push for the respective DNP3 Objects.

[3], [16], [29], [42], [55], [68], [81], and [94] are the starting indices for each repeated record section, which may be repeated up to eight times. Each record
consists of thirteen words.
2
In the case of DI or DO objects, when Data[0] is non-zero, Point Push interprets the value as True
3
In the case of DI or DO objects in 32-bit mode, both Data[0] & Data[1] are used.

Seconds1k indicates the number of seconds denominated in milliseconds. Thus, 1 second has a value of 1000 milliseconds.
