Overview

The HR6000 DCA software is installed in GE Energy Services WESDAC equipment to provide an interface to Sub-Remote Units (SRUs) using the HR6000 communication protocol.

Product Perspective

The HR6000 DCA software is custom software that will be installed in the GE Energy Services RTU to act as a data concentrator for one or more Sub-Remote Units (SRUs) using the HR6000 communication protocol. After the system is installed, the RTU has the ability to function as a sub-master within a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, which controls multiple SRU. Figure 1 represents a complete system overview of how the DCA interfaces with the WESDAC Interface Node (WIN) in a typical GE Energy Services RTU. The application is designed to communicate with SRUs via the HR6000 protocol. The HR6000 DCA receives data from the SRUs by polling for data in a master-slave relationship.

1.2 Configuration Sequence

The following is a list of the steps required to configure the HR6000 DCA: 1. Edit the HR6000 DCA configuration. Prepare it according to the guidelines in this document

and the specific use for which the HR6000 DCA 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 WESDAC Configuration System. The list of applications to be compiled must include the HR6000 DCA, application A020.

4. Restart the product. If the HR6000 DCA 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: and repeat steps 3 through 5.

When the HR6000 DCA has successfully validated all the configuration parameters, configuration is complete.


Chapter 2: Configuring the Main Application Table (A020APPL)

The Main Application configuration Table 2 is used to define global settings for the entire HR6000 DCA. These parameters pertain to all channels and SRUs connected within the system. The Main Application configuration must contain a single record.

Appendix A:Messages Logged by the HR6000 DCA

This appendix contains a description of all error messages posted to the WESMAINT Error Log by the HR6000 DCA. This appendix also provides an explanation of all output return codes returned by the HR6000 DCA. During startup, the HR6000 DCA checks its configuration tables for invalid entries. If no configuration errors are encountered the DCA attempts to spawn a number of processes during start-up. If any invalid data is found or a problem is encountered while starting one of the processes, an error message is logged to the WESMAINT Error Log. Messages logged to the WESMAINT Error Log by the DCA will be pre-pended with a process name. This name will be one of the following: A020: A020-<x>-<yy>: Where <x> is one of E, C or S. <yy> is a process number. Expressions in angular brackets like "<xx>", are filled with the appropriate values by the DCA.
