CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING THE D20E FIRMWARE
D20E ETHERNET I/O MODULE INSTRUCTION MANUAL GE INFORMATION 69
For communication with a GE Grid Solutions:
• A D2x substation controller product supports Short Floating AI, which may benefit
from the use of engineering units.
• The D400 substation gateway (and other newer products) support floating AI.
To configure the D20E Ethernet I/O Module for 16-bit signed integer AI format:
1. From the DAPserver Studio, go to IO Provider > IED > Analog Input > Protocol.
Result: The Protocol drop-down menu appears.
2. Select Raw.
3. Go to DNP3 Publisher > View > Analog Input > General > Value.
Result: The Value drop-down menu appears.
4. Select Signed Integer.
5. Go to DNP3 Publisher > View > Analog Input > Protocol > Divisor column.
6. Type 0.5 in the Divisor column.
7. Click Save.

Control output points
All control commands can only be executed when the control target point is online.
Only trip/close, raise/lower, and pulse operations are currently supported. Multiple point
latching on digital outputs is not currently supported.
Control output type
A Control Output point can be configured into the counter types listed in Table 17.
Table 17: Control type descriptions
Control type Description
Trip/Close Control A type of control output that provides a trip open or close using one of two
master relays and a select relay. During execution of the control
command, the selected relay is set:
• On after the master relay is set and
• Off before the master relay is off.
Dual Point Counter Refer to section: Dual point counter on page 60.
Form C Control Uses 2 complementary contact outputs:
• One normally open, and
• One normally closed.
DPST Control Double Pole, Single Throw with positive and negative control supply to
drive an external interposer relay.
Raise/Lower Control A type of control output that raises or lowers output voltage using a single
select relay for each raise/lower control output.
