Substation Hardened Programmable Logic Controller The Multilin™ C30 controller system is a substation hardened device designed to perform substation control logic that can also expand the I/O capability of protection devices and replace existing SOE recorders. The C30 provides fast and deterministic execution of programmable logic with I/O capabilities far above an average protection relay. Graphical programming tools, supported by a library of logic operators, make the C30 simple to use and configure. Using high-speed peer-to-peer communications for inter-device messaging, the C30 can also accept signals and commands from other protection and control devices at a fraction of the cost of hard-wiring these signals. 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 • 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 • An integrated large, full color display, provides real-time visualization and control of the protected bay, via a bay mimic as well as annunciator functionality and graphical visualization of phasors • Advanced IEC 61850 Ed. 1 and Ed. 2 certified implementation, complete settings via SCL files and IEC 61850-9-2 process bus solution ensures interoperability, device managing optimization and reduced cost of ownership • Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) enables GOOSE messages going beyond the substation, which enables wide area protection and control applications • Increased network availability via failover time reduced to zero through IEC® 62439-3 "PRP" support • Supports latest edition of waveform capture (COMTRADE 2013) simplifying fault records management Applications • Bay control and substation automation • Programmable logic control • UR I/O expansion • Sequence of Events (SOE) recorder replacement Protection and Control • Programmable logic, timers, counters • Distributed logic, remote I/O expansion • User-definable protection elements • Up to 96 digital inputs and 64 digital outputs • Transducer I/Os (RTD, DCmA) • High density inputs/outputs to support the control of many switchyard assets - all from one powerful device • Integrated large, full color display, for real-time visualization and control of the protected bay Advanced Communications • 3 independent Ethernet ports for simultaneous & dedicated network connections with IEEE 1588 support • Supported industry protocols: IEC 61850, SFTP, MMS File Transfer Service, DNP 3.0, Modbus Serial/TCP, IEEE 1588, IEC 60870-5-104 and 103, PRP, SNTP, HTTP, TFTP • Direct I/O: secure, high-speed exchange of data between UR relays for Direct Transfer Trip and I/O extension applications • IEC 61850-9-2 process bus support Cyber Security • CyberSentry™ provides high-end cyber security aligned to industry standards and services (NERC® CIP, AAA, Radius, RBAC, Syslog) Monitoring & Metering • Advanced recording capabilities with high-capacity event recorder, configurable and extended waveform capture and data logger • Metering: current, voltage, power, energy, frequency, and harmonics
