About this Guide

Purpose of this Guide

This guide describes, in detail, how to configure the BECO2200 Data Collection Application (DCA) for GE Energy Services products. The configuration information customizes the behavior of the BECO2200 DCA for communications with the Beckwith Electric BECO2200-M-0420 Multifunction Relays.

Each configurable parameter for the BECO2200 DCA is described along with the range of valid entries and a typical entry, where applicable. The grouping of related parameters is also described.

Who Should Use this Guide

This document is intended for use by individuals responsible for the configuration of the BECO2200 DCA in GE Energy Services RTUs. These people should be familiar with the operation and maintenance of RTUs in general, but may not be familiar with the GE Energy Services family of products.

Before reading this document, you should have a basic understanding of the WESDAC hardware environment, the configuration system, and the BECO2200 DCA.
