This chapter outlines the product, order codes, and specifications. 2.1 Product description The C30 Controller System is part of the Universal Relay (UR) series of products. It is a microprocessor-based device designed for power substation control and monitoring. Diagnostic features include a sequence of records capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events. The internal clock used for time-tagging can be synchronized with an IRIG-B signal, using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) over the Ethernet port, or using the Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
The C30 supports password entry from a local or remote connection. Local access is defined as any access to settings or commands via the faceplate interface. This includes both keypad entry and the through the faceplate RS232 port. Remote access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear communications port.

The power supply module can be ordered for two possible voltage ranges, and the C30 can be ordered with or without a redundant power supply module option. Each range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ranges are as follows (see the Specifications section of chapter 2 for details): •...
The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications. The contact inputs are grouped with a common return. The C30 has two versions of grouping: four inputs per common return and two inputs per common return. When a contact input/output module is ordered, four inputs per common is used.

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.
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.
UR-series relays with the following connections: UR1-Tx to UR2-Rx, UR2-Tx to UR3-Rx, UR3-Tx to UR4-Rx, and UR4-Tx to UR1-Rx. A maximum of 16 UR-series relays can be connected in a single ring. 3-24 C30 CONTROLLER SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...

When a settings file is transferred to a C30 device, the date, time, and serial number of the C30 are sent back to EnerVista UR Setup and added to the settings file on the local computer. This information can be compared with the C30 actual values at any later date to determine if security has been compromised.
Page 99
With respect to the figure, the traceability feature is used as follows. The transfer date of a settings file written to a C30 is logged in the relay and can be viewed in the EnerVista software or the front panel display. Likewise, the transfer date of a settings file saved to a local computer is logged in the EnerVista software.

If the connection is to the back of the C30, the remote password must be used. If the connection is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.

INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT The C30 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. If password verification fails while accessing a password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the FlexLogic operand is asserted.

The EnerVista security system allows an administrator to manage access privileges of multiple users of EnerVista. It is disabled by default to allow the administrator to access EnerVista software immediately after installation. When security is disabled, all users have administrator access. GE recommends enabling the EnerVista security before placing the device in service.

Check the Enable Security check box in the lower-left corner to enable the security management system. If you force password entry by using this feature, ensure that you know the Administrator password. If you do not know the password and are locked out of the software, contact GE Digital Energy for the default password NOTE or a UR device.

Click OK to save the changes. 5.3.1.4 CyberSentry security The EnerVista software provides the means to configure and authenticate the C30 access using either a server or the device. Access to functions depends on user role. The login screen of EnerVista has two options for access to the C30, these being Server and Device authentication.
Page 131
In this case, it uses built-in roles (Administrator, Engineer, Supervisor, Operator, Observer), as login accounts and the associated passwords are stored on the C30 device. In this case, access is not user-attributable. In cases where user-attributable access is required, especially for auditable processes for compliance reasons, use server authentication (RADIUS) only.

RxGOOSE assumes that connectivity is lost. FlexLogic operands (for example, RxGOOSE1 On, RxGOOSE1 Off) reflect the status of each RxGOOSE connectivity.

INFORMATION NUMBER (INF) as defined in IEC 60870-103. — This is the cyclic period used by the C30 to decide when a measurand ASDU is included in a SCAN TIMEOUT (SCAN TOUT) response.

Page 194
FlexAnalog operands. The measurands sent are voltage, current, power, power factor, and frequency. If any other FlexAnalog is chosen, the C30 sends 0 instead of its value. Note that the power is transmitted in KW, not W. Measurands are transmitted as ASDU 3 or ASDU 9 (type identification value set to measurands I, respectively measurands II).
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.
The clock is updated by all sources active in the device. This means that 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, PTP, and SNTP, are active in the system.

2:00 The C30 maintains two times: local time and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Local time can be provided by IRIG-B signals. UTC time is provided by SNTP servers. The real-time clock (RTC) and timestamps reported in historical records and communication protocols can be incorrect if the Local Time settings are not configured properly.
