About this Guide
Purpose of this Guide
This document describes all Custom ABB C3000/C0300 Data-Processing Application (DPA)
configuration parameters. The Custom ABB C3000/C0300 configuration tables are discussed in
terms of the data, which must be entered in order to create valid parameters for the Custom ABB
C3000/C0300 DPA.
Each configurable parameter for the Custom ABB C3000/C0300 is described along with the
range of valid entries and a typical value where applicable.
This document describes only the DPA-specific aspects of configuring a GE Power Systems
device for use with the Custom ABB C3000/C0300 DPA. It does not describe the protocol or
how to use Config Pro configuration system.
If the information contained in this document is insufficient for your needs, refer to the section
called Additional Documentation for a list of supplementary information.
Who Should Use this Guide
This guide is for use by persons who create configuration tables to customize the behaviour of
the A016-1 C3000/C0300 DPA for emulation of the C3000/C0300 protocol in communications
with master stations.

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:

Chapter 1: Configuration Tables
The C3000/C0300 DPA is configured by means of the tables, which contain all of its
configuration data.
The purpose of each configuration table is described in the following table:
A016_COM This table contains parameters related to communication ports. One record is entered for each port the
application uses.
A016_XRF This table contains the cross-reference parameters between A016_LRU records and LRU addresses. One
record is entered for each LRU to be addressed.
A016_LRU This table contains parameters related to LRUs. One record is entered for each LRU in the system.
A016_GRP This table contains parameters related to groups of points in LRUs. One record is entered for each data
group on an LRU.
A016SCAN This table contains parameters related to scan sections within groups. One record is entered for each scan
section in a group.
A016_DI This table contains parameters to customize the use of status input points in the system. One record is
A016_AI This table contains parameters to customize the use of analog input points in the system. One record is
A016_ACC This table contains parameters to customize the use of accumulator input points in the system. One record
is entered for each accumulator input point used.
A016_TC This table contains parameters to customize the control out put points used for Trip or Close requests.
One record is entered for each Trip/Close point used.
A016_RL This table contains parameters to customize the control out put points used for Raise or Lower requests.
One record is entered for each Raise/Lower pair used.
A016_SP This table contains parameters to customize the analog and binary control output points used for
Setpoint requests. One record is entered for each setpoint used.

1.1 Configuration Sequence
The following is a list of the steps required to configure the A016-1 C3000/C0300 DPA:
1. Edit the C3000/C0300 DPA configuration. Prepare it according to the guidelines in this
document and the specific use for which the C3000/C0300 DPA is required.
2. Edit the configuration for the other applications that will run on the product. Prepare them
according to their own configuration guides.
3. Generate the configuration and download it to the product using a Config Pro Configuration
System. The list of applications to be compiled must include the C3000/C0300 DPA,
application A016-1.
4. Restart the system. If the C3000/C0300 DPA encounters an error during its initialization, it
will log a message to the WESMAINT Error Log and then, depending on the severity of the
error, terminate or continue with its run-time function.
5. Check for error messages. Log into the WESMAINT maintenance interface, select the
System Functions item from the Main menu, and then select the Error Log item from the
System Functions menu. If any error messages are displayed, correct the problem as
described in Appendix A: Error Messages and repeat steps 3 through 5. When the
C3000/C0300 DPA has successfully validated all the configuration parameters, configuration
is complete.

Chapter 2: Configuration the Port
Configuration Table (A016_COM)
The A016_COM table provides information for communication ports, which are used by the
C3000/C0300 DPA. It contains one record for each communication port configured to customize
the communications related settings for the C3000/C0300 DPA. The fields contained in the table
are described in the table below:
