GE Multilin C30 Substation Hardened Programmable Logic Controller

Overview

The Multilin™ C30 is a substation-hardened programmable logic controller designed for advanced control and automation in substation environments. It enhances control capabilities with fast and deterministic programmable logic execution and offers extensive I/O capabilities. The C30 can replace Sequence of Events (SOE) recorders, expand I/O for protection devices, and reduce wiring requirements by utilizing high-speed peer-to-peer communication. This system also supports a variety of communication protocols, providing easy integration with other protection and control devices. Additionally, the C30 features a large, full-color graphical display for real-time visualization and control of the protected bay.
