Are analog and discrete blocks available as data types in the Ignition DNP3 driver? They don’t show up in the tag browser after connecting to devices.

The list of points that show up are AnalogInputs, AnalogOutputs, Counter, and SingleBitBinaryInput. If I connect the same device to another driver I have BinaryBlock and AnalogBlock available.

I’m not sure what point types these are - do you know what group/variation you’re talking about?

I believe control relay output blocks for binary are Group 12 and Analogs are 41.

There are scripting functions for operating against CROBs and AOBs: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/system.dnp3](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/system.dnp3)
