## Connecting to a SEL RTAC using DNP3

In this example, **DNP Client** is used to connect to a SEL RTAC acting as **DNP3** **slave** over TCP.

- **Step 1:** Obtain information about the **DNP3 slave** configuration. See below example of the **RTAC** configuration:

- **Step 2:** First create the driver **DNP Client instance**, then **create the channel**. Once inside this channel, **create the device**. See below example of channel and device settings:

- **Step 3:** Create and configure the tags. See below examples for how the tag sources should be configured in order to **read** the first analog input (index 0) and **write** to the first analog output (index:0):
