GE Multilin C30-A00-HCH-F6D-H6D-M6D-P6C-U6C-W6C Controller Relay

Overview

The Multilin™ C30 is a substation-hardened programmable logic controller designed for advanced substation automation and control. It executes programmable logic quickly and deterministically, offering superior I/O capabilities compared to typical protection relays. With its modular hardware architecture, the C30 supports flexible I/O configurations and simplifies substation wiring using high-speed peer-to-peer communication. The controller’s graphical programming tools, combined with an integrated large color display, make it easy to use, configure, and monitor real-time bay operations. The C30 is well-suited for complex substation control tasks, I/O expansion, and Sequence of Events (SOE) recorder replacement.
