Chapter 1: Configuration Tables
The BECO2200 DCA configuration contains all of the data structures necessary to configure an
RTU to communicate with BECO2200 slave devices.
1.1 BECO2200 DCA Configuration Tables
There are a total of six (6) configuration tables in the BECO2200 DCA configuration.
Each table is named according to a standard convention that is used for all tables commonly
found in GE Energy Services applications. The standard naming convention dictates that the
prefix (first four characters) of the table name consist of an application descriptor. This
descriptor is an arbitrary identification code chosen by GE Energy Services to indicate the
application with which the table is associated. The application descriptor for the BECO2200
DCA is A164. The last four characters of the name describe the function of the table. For
example, A164PORT defines the characteristics of the communication ports. The purpose of
each table is described below.
TABLE NAME DESCRIPTION
A164APPL
This table always contains a single record, defining parameters that affect the entire
operation of the BECO2200 DCA.
A164PORT
This table configures the communication characteristics of each serial port used.
Each record in this table defines one port.
A164UNIT
This table defines each BECO2200 device with which the BECO2200 DCA will
communicate. Each record in this table defines a single unit.
A164MODE
This table defines the associated action of each Mode Download Pseudo Control.
A164DVCF
This table defines the set of data table records to download to a range of
BECO2200 Relays.
A164DTBL
