Overview

The C3000/C0300 DPA may be installed in GE Power Systems products, to provide emulation of the C3000/C0300 protocol in communications with an upstream master station. Status, Analog, and Accumulator data may be passed to the master; Analog, and Binary controls may be performed for the master.

The C3000/C0300 DPA provides for definition of multiple Logical Remote Units (LRUs) within GE Power Systems products, each of which behaves as though it were a physically separate devices with its own address for communication with the host station. LRUs may work within separate areas within the overall WESDAC system database, or they may overlap and share data as required.

On GE Power Systemsdevices where multiple communications ports are available for use, the C3000/C0300 DPA may be configured for multi-porting. Multi-porting allows the C3000/C0300 DPA to be capable of responding on one or more communication ports to one or more master stations. Each communication port has its own defined set of LRUs, with each LRU having the same or different configurations. If two LRUs have the same configuration, then the same data is sent to both master stations.

The C3000/C0300 DPA when resident in GE Power Systems along with the WESDAC Interface Node (WIN) application provides translation of data between the WIN database and a C3000/C0300 speaking host station. The WIN application and its database provide a consistent means of transferring data between different DPAs and Data Collection Applications (DCAs) within the GE Power Systems systems. For example, a WESDAC DCA may collect data from field devices via protocol X and provide the information to WIN. A DPA may then get the data from WIN and provide it to a host station via protocol Y (in this case C3000/C0300).

Conversely C3000/C0300 control requests may be received from a master station and passed to WIN for execution. WIN may then pass these to a DCA, which utilize protocol X to have an end field device actually perform the physical control operation. The interaction between the C3000/C0300 DPA, WIN, and other applications resident within a typical WESDAC system is illustrated in the following figure:
