C30 input even when the output is open, if there is a substantial distributed capacitance (represented by C1) present in the wiring between the output and the C30 input and the debounce time setting in the C30 relay is low enough.
Page 62

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 3-22 C30 CONTROLLER SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 63

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 64

Consequently, the threshold voltage setting is also defined per group of two contact inputs. The auto-burnish feature can be disabled or enabled using the DIP switches found on each daughter card. There is a DIP switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs. 3-24 C30 CONTROLLER SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 65

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 contact I/O module with active impedance circuit.

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 correctly only if the common wire is connected to the C30 COM terminal, but insulated from the shield.
Page 71: Irig-b

IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices. The IRIG-B code allows time accuracies of up to 100 ns. Using the IRIG-B input, the C30 operates an internal oscillator with 1 µs resolution and accuracy.

When the "Device" button is selected, the C30 uses its local authentication database and not the RADIUS server to authenticate the user. In this case, it uses built-in roles (Administrator, Engineer, Supervisor, Operator, Observer, or Administrator and Supervisor when Device Authentication is disabled), as login accounts and the associated passwords are stored on the C30 device.

Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic operands. Assigning user- programmable pushbuttons to clear specific records is a typical application for these commands. Since the C30 responds to rising edges of the configured FlexLogic operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.

5.3.5.3 Ethernet network topology The C30 has three Ethernet ports. Each Ethernet port must belong to a different network or subnetwork. Configure the IP address and subnet to ensure that each port meets this requirement. Two subnets are different when the bitwise AND operation performed between their respective IP address and mask produces a different result.

2 is performed. The delay in switching back ensures that rebooted switching devices connected to the C30, which signal their ports as active prior to being completely functional, have time to completely initialize themselves and become active. Once port 2 is active again, port 3 returns to standby mode.

UR 7 redundancy Failover is selected for redundancy. 5.3.5.6 Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) The C30 is provided with optional PRP capability. This feature is specified as a software option at the time of ordering. See the Order Codes section in chapter 2 for details.

The routing table configuration is available on the serial port and front panel. This is a deliberate decision, to avoid loss of connectivity when remotely configuring the C30. By default, the value of the destination field is 127.0.0.1 for all static routes (1 to 6). This is equivalent to saying that the static routes are not configured.

NUMBER: 0 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, for example event records and oscillography.

COMMUNICATIONS  PROTOCOL 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, ideally no more than two masters actively communicate with the C30 at one time.

PTP, or SNTP, its time is overwritten by these three sources, if any of them is active. If the synchronization timeout occurs and none of IRIG-B, PTP, or SNTP is active, the C30 sets the invalid bit in the time stamp of a time-tagged message.

Spontaneous transmission occurs as a response to cyclic Class 2 requests. If the C30 wants to transmit Class 1 data at that time, it demands access for Class 1 data transmission (ACD=1 in the control field of the response).

Commands are received as General Command (Type Identification 20). The user can configure the action to perform when an ASDU command comes. A list of available mappings is provided on the C30. This includes 64 virtual inputs (see the following table). The ON and OFF for the same ASDU command can be mapped to different virtual inputs.
Page 298: Real-time Clock

Setup for IRIG-B is illustrated in the Installation chapter. For the Other protocols, whenever a time synchronization message is received through any of the active protocols, the C30 clock updates. However, given that IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, and DNP are low-accuracy time synchronization methods, avoid their use for synchronization when better accuracy time protocols, such as IRIG-B and PTP, are active in the system.

See the Order Codes section in chapter 2 for details. The C30 supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) specified in IEEE Std 1588 2008 using the Power Profile (PP) specified in IEEE Std C37.238 2011. This enables the relay to synchronize to the international time standard over an Ethernet network that implements PP.
Page 300

When a clock on start-up discovers that it is “better” than the present grandmaster, it assumes the grandmaster role and the previous grandmaster reverts to slave. The C30 qualification mechanism accepts a potential master clock as a new grandmaster, when in a four-second interval it has received three announce messages from it, all better than the present grandmaster clock and better than any other announce in this interval.

C30 clock is closely synchronized with the SNTP/ NTP server. It takes up to two minutes for the C30 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.

Although the diagnostic information is cleared before the C30 is shipped from the factory, the user can want to clear the diagnostic information for themselves under certain circumstances. For example, you clear diagnostic information after replacement of hardware.
Page 417: Targets Menu

A target enables the EnerVista UR Setup software to monitor automatically and display the status of any active target messages of all the devices inserted into that site. Each C30 element with a TARGET setting has a target message that when activated by its element is displayed in sequence with any other currently active target messages in the menu.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE 8.2 General maintenance The C30 requires minimal maintenance. As a microprocessor-based relay, its characteristics do not change over time. Expected service life is 20 years for UR devices manufactured June 2014 or later when applied in a controlled indoor environment and electrical conditions within specification.
