  devices within the plant or substation, includes
  monitoring and control and connection to Network
  Control Centers.
• CCU 1000 is truly harsh environment ready
  hardware ideal for severe conditions in
  electrical substation or in industrial plants.
• Outstanding reliability thanks to
• No mechanical moving parts

Configuration and Data Mapping Application
Configure the substation with the required
relays.
Define the point for Level3 integration.
Information is loaded from models.
Design the screens both with bitmaps and live
objects

Single Line Diagram with GE Power

• Possibility to show status of all motors at a
  glance
• IEDs are represented with different colors
  depending on their status.
• Incomers and with measured values
• Clicking with the mouse on any motor or feeder
  results in going to another screen showing all
  the details about that motor or feeder.

10
Elevation Panels with GE Power

• View of the system incomers and bus-couplers in
  their actual locations
• Detailed information of any of the represented
  elements is available with just one mouse click

11
PLC Logic Editor with GE Power
Define simple control sequences in design mode
Debug the control sequences in Run-time
12
View of IEDs with GE Power

• On-line retrieval of complete information
  about any system component
• Possibility to search for any IED within the
  system by entering its code. View measured
  values, maintenance, commands, memory map,
  settings, cause of the last trip, etc.

13
View of Alarms with GE Power
Possibility to view all the system alarms.
The program offers the option to acknowledge the
alarms, and filter them according to the priority
level.
14
Status of Communications with GE Power
Possibility to view communication status of all
the system IEDs identified with colours.

• Application Details
• The CCU 1000 retrieves data from MMII via MODBUS
  RTU, from F650 and UR via MODBUS TCP/IP.
• The DCS retrieves data from CCU 1000 via
  IEC-870-5-104. Available also IEC-870-5-101 and
  MODBUS through direct connection to CCU 1000
  RS-232 ports.
• The engineering workstations retrieve data from
  CCU 1000 using an OPC connection.
• In case of IEC-870-5-104 protocol, the DCS can
  access directly the UR and F650 relays, using the
  same network.
• The GPS clock includes an IRIG-B output to
  synchronize the relays. Amplifiers are not
  included
