GE C30 | Controller System
The C30 controller system is a programmable logic controller for performing substation or bay automation that can also be used for expanding the I/O capability of protection devices and replacing Sequence of Event (SOE) recorders. The C30 provides fast deterministic execution of programmable logic with I/O capabilities far above an average protection relay.
Application
- Bay control and substation automation
- Programmable logic control
- UR I/O expansion
- Sequence of Events (SOE) recorder replacement
Key Benefits
- Powerful and deterministic programmable logic suitable for creating most customized automated substation control solutions
- Modular hardware architecture allowing for flexibility in the I/O configuration to support most bay management applications
- Three independent fiber or copper Ethernet ports for simultaneous/ dedicated network connections with advanced 1 microsecond time synchronization via LAN with IEEE® 1588 support
- Reduced bay or station wiring through the use of high-speed peer-to-peer communication for sending and accepting control commands from other relays
- Simplified system integration and access to information through the use of multiple communication options and protocols not found in industrial grade PLCs
- Embedded IEC® 61850 protocol
- Increase network availability by reducing failover time to zero through IEC 62439-3 "PRP" support
- CyberSentry™ provides high-end cyber security aligned to industry standards and services (NERC® CIP, AAA, Radius, RBAC, Syslog)
- Robust network security enabling Critical Infrastructure Protection through user command logging, and dual permission access control
- Complete IEC 61850 Process Bus solution provides resource optimization and minimizes total P&C life cycle costs
The C30 is a complete solution for controlling and monitoring substation devices and can easily be connected directly into DCS or SCADA monitoring and control systems like Viewpoint Monitoring as shown.
