Page 65 This operation of contact inputs also can be prevented by using the Auto-Burnish contact inputs or contact inputs with active impedance. Figure 3–19: CONTACT INPUT CONNECTED TO A CONTACT OUTPUT WITH RESISTOR (R2) ACROSS THE INPUT GE Multilin C30 Controller System 3-19...
Page 66 (EQ 3.2) The 2 mA current is used in case the contact input is connected across the GE Form A contact output with voltage monitoring. Otherwise use the amperage of the active circuit connected to the contact input when its contact output is open and the voltage across the contact input is third trigger threshold to calculate the resistor value.
Page 67 (refer to the Contact Input and Output Module Wiring diagrams). This is beneficial when connecting contact inputs to separate voltage sources. Con- sequently, the threshold voltage setting is also defined per group of two contact inputs. GE Multilin C30 Controller System 3-21...
Page 68 Contact inputs susceptible to parasitic capacitance caused by long cable runs affected by switching surges from external circuits can result in inadvertent activation of contact inputs with the external contact open. In this case, GE recommends using the digital I/O module with active impedance circuit.

3.2.7 RS232 FACEPLATE PORT A 9-pin RS232C serial port is located on the C30 faceplate for programming with a personal computer. All that is required to use this interface is a personal computer running the EnerVista UR Setup software provided with the relay. Cabling for the RS232 port is shown in the following figure for both 9-pin and 25-pin connectors.
Page 72 For instance, the relays must be connected with all RS485 “+” terminals connected together, and all RS485 “–” terminals connected together. Though data is transmitted over a two-wire twisted pair, all RS485 devices require a shared 3-26 C30 Controller System GE Multilin...
Page 73 This common voltage is implied to be a power supply common. Some systems allow the shield (drain wire) to be used as common wire and to connect directly to the C30 COM terminal (#3); others function cor- rectly only if the common wire is connected to the C30 COM terminal, but insulated from the shield.

Page 108: Settings File Traceability
When a settings file is transfered to a C30 device, the date, time, and serial number of the C30 are sent back to EnerVista UR Setup and added to the settings file on the local PC. This infor- mation can be compared with the C30 actual values at any later date to determine if security has been compromised.
Page 109 With respect to the above diagram, the traceability feature is used as follows. The transfer date of a setting file written to a C30 is logged in the relay and can be viewed via EnerVista UR Setup or the front panel display. Likewise, the transfer date of a setting file saved to a local PC is logged in EnerVista UR Setup.

When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond- ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the C30, the remote password must be used. If the connection is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.

Page 140 0 ms The C30 is equipped with up to three independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 baud and no parity. The rear COM1 port type is selected when ordering: either an Ethernet or RS485 port.
Page 141 MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS grammed. For the RS485 ports each C30 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. Address 0 is the broadcast address which all Modbus slave devices listen to. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same address or conflicts resulting in errors will occur.
Page 142 TIMEOUT: 120 s The C30 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The C30 can be used as a DNP slave device con- nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the C30 maintains two sets of DNP data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the C30 at one time.
Page 143 DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000 V on the C30 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within cer- tain ranges in DNP masters.
Page 144 When the DNP data points (analog inputs and/or binary inputs) are configured for Ethernet-enabled relays, check the “DNP Points Lists” C30 web page to view the points lists. This page can be viewed with a web browser by enter- ing the C30 IP address to access the C30 “Main Menu”, then by selecting the “Device Information Menu” > “DNP NOTE Points Lists”...
Page 145 The DNP / IEC 60870-5-104 point lists always begin with point 0 and end at the first “Off” value. Since DNP / IEC 60870-5-104 point lists must be in one continuous block, any points assigned after the first “Off” point are ignored. NOTE Changes to the DNP / IEC 60870-5-104 point lists take effect when the C30 is restarted. NOTE GE Multilin...
Page 146 The C30 supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified by IEC 61850. MMS is supported over two protocol stacks: TCP/IP over ethernet and TP4/CLNP (OSI) over ethernet. The C30 operates as an IEC 61850 server. The Remote inputs and outputs section in this chapter describe the peer-to-peer GSSE/GOOSE message scheme.
Page 147 IEC 61850 GSSE application ID name string sent as part of each GSSE message. This GSSE ID string identifies the GSSE message to the receiving device. In C30 releases previous to 5.0x, this name string was repre- sented by the setting.
Page 148 DESTINATION MAC address; the least significant bit of the first byte must be set. In C30 releases previous to 5.0x, the destination Ethernet MAC address was determined automatically by taking the sending MAC address (that is, the unique, local MAC address of the C30) and setting the multicast bit.
Page 149 The C30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station components.

Page 155 The GGIO2 control configuration settings are used to set the control model for each input. The available choices are “0” (status only), “1” (direct control), and “2” (SBO with normal security). The GGIO2 control points are used to control the C30 virtual inputs.
Page 156 GGIO1 (binary status values). The settings allow the selection of FlexInteger™ values for each GGIO5 integer value point. It is intended that clients use GGIO5 to access generic integer values from the C30. Additional settings are provided to allow the selection of the number of integer values available in GGIO5 (1 to 16), and to assign FlexInteger™ values to the GGIO5 integer inputs.
Page 157 Changes to the report configuration take effect when the C30 is restarted. Disconnect any IEC 61850 client connection to the C30 prior to making setting changes to the report configuration. Disconnecting the rear Ethernet connection from the C30 disconnects the IEC 61850 client connection.
Page 158 NUMBER: The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) can be used to transfer files from the C30 over a network. The C30 operates as a TFTP server. TFTP client software is available from various sources, including Microsoft Windows NT. The dir.txt file obtained from the C30 contains a list and description of all available files (event records, oscillography, etc.).
Page 159 The C30 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The C30 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device connected to a maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the C30 maintains two sets of IEC 60870-5-104 data change buffers, no more than two masters should actively communicate with the C30 at one time.
Page 160 C30 clock is closely synchronized with the SNTP/NTP server. It may take up to two minutes for the C30 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
Page 161 MESSAGE (Modbus register address range) Fast exchanges (50 to 1000 ms) are generally used in control schemes. The C30 has one fast exchange (Exchange 1) and two slow exchanges (Exchanges 2 and 3). The settings menu for the slow EGD exchanges is shown below: ...

Page 235: Contact Outputs
The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the tripping circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called trip seal-in. This can be realized in the C30 using the FlexLogic™ operand to seal-in the contact output as follows: CONT OP 1 ION “Cont Op 1"...
Page 236 5 SETTINGS The C30 latching output contacts are mechanically bi-stable and controlled by two separate (open and close) coils. As such they retain their position even if the relay is not powered up. The relay recognizes all latching output contact cards and pop- ulates the setting menu accordingly.

Page 311: B.3.2 Modbus Password Operation
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond- ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the C30, the remote password must be used. If the connection is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.

The operate flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Op.general. For the C30 protection elements, these flags take their values from the pickup and operate FlexLogic™ operands for the corresponding element.
Page 379: C.3.1 Buffered/Unbuffered Reporting
C.3.4 LOGICAL DEVICE NAME The logical device name is used to identify the IEC 61850 logical device that exists within the C30. This name is composed of two parts: the IED name setting and the logical device instance. The complete logical device name is the combination of the two character strings programmed in the settings.
Page 380: C.3.6 Logical Node Name Prefixes
A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the C30 to detect ‘dead’ connections. If there is no data traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the C30. This frees up the con- nection to be used by other clients.

MAC address for GSSE messages. If GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is not entered (for example, 00 00 00 00 00 00), the C30 will use the source Ether- net MAC address as the destination, with the multicast bit set.
Page 382 The C30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station components.
Page 383: C.4.5 Ethernet Mac Address For Gsse/Goose
REMOTE IN 1 ITEM item to remote input 1. Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic™ equations or other settings. The C30 must be rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect. The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value in the sending device.
Page 384: C.4.6 Gsse Id And Goose Id Settings
GSSE and GOOSE messages must have multicast destination MAC addresses. By default, the C30 is configured to use an automated multicast MAC scheme. If the C30 destination MAC address setting is not a valid multicast address (that is, the least significant bit of the first byte is not set), the address used as the destina- tion MAC will be the same as the local MAC address, but with the multicast bit set.
Page 385: C.5.1 Overview
An ICD file is generated for the C30 by the EnerVista UR Setup software that describe the capabilities of the IED. The ICD file is then imported into a system configurator along with other ICD files for other IEDs (from GE or other ven- dors) for system configuration.
Page 386: C.5.2 Configuring Iec 61850 Settings
Transmission GOOSE dataset may be added or deleted, or prefixes of some logical nodes may be changed. While all new configurations will be mapped to the C30 settings file when importing an SCD file, all unchanged settings will preserve the same values in the new settings file.
Page 387: C.5.3 About Icd Files
Although configurable transmission GOOSE can also be created and altered by some third-party system con- figurators, we recommend configuring transmission GOOSE for GE Multilin IEDs before creating the ICD, and strictly within EnerVista UR Setup software or the front panel display (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Com- munications >...

The EnerVista UR Setup will prompt to save the file. Select the file path and enter the name for the ICD file, then click OK to generate the file. The time to create an ICD file from the offline C30 settings file is typically much quicker than create an ICD file directly from the relay.
Page 392 Like ICD files, the Header node identifies the SCD file and its version, and specifies options for the mapping of names to signals.

Figure 0–9: SCD FILE STRUCTURE, IED NODE C.5.6 IMPORTING AN SCD FILE WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP The following procedure describes how to update the C30 with the new configuration from an SCD file with the EnerVista UR Setup software. Right-click anywhere in the files panel and select the Import Contents From SCD File item.
Page 395 The software will open the SCD file and then prompt the user to save a UR-series settings file. Select a location and name for the URS (UR-series relay settings) file. If there is more than one GE Multilin IED defined in the SCD file, the software prompt the user to save a UR-series set- tings file for each IED.
