DCA Index, Reply Buffer Size Adjustment | GE BECCO2200 specification

	BECCO2200 DCA
GE Energy Services	Configuration Guide

3.2.1 DCA Index

This parameter specifies the WIN DCA index of the BECO2200 DCA application in the WIN CFG_DCA table. The index is zero based. This parameter will be automatically assigned by ConfigPro.

3.2.2 Reply Buffer Size Adjustment

This parameter specifies an increment to the total number of reply buffers allocated by the BECO2200 DCA. The BECO2200 DCA will allocate, at a minimum, two (2) reply buffers for each device configured. The configured adjustment will be added to this total. The number of extra reply buffers should increase in proportion to the baud rate selected, and the frequency of polling for each device.

☞NOTE: This parameter affects the RAM requirements of the BECO2200 DCA. By

decreasing this parameter, more RAM will be made available to other applications running in the system.

3.2.3 SOE Buffer Size Adjustment

This parameter specifies an increment to the total number of SOE buffers allocated by the BECO2200 DCA. The BECO2200 DCA will allocate, at a minimum, one (1) SOE Buffer for each Digital Input point configured. The configured adjustment will be added to this total. The number of extra reply buffers should increase in proportion to the expected event reporting of the BECO2200 devices (the more events reported by the BECO2200 devices, the more buffers are required to sort the information).

☞NOTE: This parameter affects the RAM requirements of the BECO2200 DCA. By

decreasing this parameter, more RAM will be made available to other applications running in the system.

3.2.4 SOE Buffer Overflow Option

This parameter indicates what the BECO2200 DCA should do if the time sorted SOE list becomes full. The DCA can be configured to either overwrite the oldest event in the list or to discard the newest event.
