Transformer Monitoring DTA
Configuration Guide GE Energy
This guide describes how to configure the Transformer Monitoring Data Translation Application
(DTA).
This document describes the purpose and use of each of the configuration parameters of the
Transformer Monitoring DTA. This document makes no attempt to explain how the
configuration process operates and is limited to describing the format and content of the DTA
configuration only.
This document is intended for use by individuals responsible for the configuration of the
Transformer Monitoring DTA in GE Energy devices. These people should be familiar with the
operation and maintenance of the devices in general, but may not be familiar with the GE Energy
family of products.
Before reading this document, you should have a basic understanding of the GE Energy
hardware environment, the configuration system, and the Transformer Monitoring DTA.

1. Configuring Tables
Each Transformer Monitoring DTA configuration table follows the naming convention in which
the prefix or first four characters of the table name is an application descriptor. This descriptor is
an identification code chosen to indicate the application with which the table is associated. The
application descriptor for the Transformer Monitoring DTA is A187. The last four characters of
the name indicate the function of the table. Table 1 summarizes the information contained in
each Transformer Monitoring DTA configuration table.

Transformer Monitoring DTA
Configuration Guide GE Energy
The following is a list of the steps required to configure the Transformer Monitoring DTA:
1. Build the Transformer Monitoring DTA configuration. Using the GE Energy Config Pro
configuration software, prepare the configuration according to the guidelines in this
document and the specific use for which the Transformer Monitoring DTA is required.
2. Build the configuration for the other applications that will run on the product. Prepare them
according to their own configuration guides.
3. Generate the configuration and download it to the RTU using the GE Energy Config Pro
configuration software.
4. Restart the RTU. If the Transformer Monitoring DTA encounters an error during its
initialization, it will log a message to the WESMAINT Error Log, then, depending on the
severity of the error, terminate or continue with its run-time function.
5. Check for error messages. Log into the WESMAINT maintenance interface, select the
System Functions item from the Main menu, and then select the Error Log item from the
System Functions menu. If any error messages are displayed, correct the problem as
described in Appendix A: Error Messages, and repeat steps 2 through 4.
When the Transformer Monitoring DTA has successfully validated all the configuration
parameters, configuration is complete.

This appendix describes all messages that may be logged by the Transformer Monitoring DTA to
the WESMAINT Error Log. During startup, the Transformer Monitoring DTA checks its
configuration before beginning its initialization. If any errors are found, an appropriate error
message is logged. If a fatal error is found, further operation is suspended.
Messages logged by the Transformer Monitoring DTA are prepended with a process name. This
name will be one of:
• A187: Main Process.
• A187-M-00: Model Engine Process.
Expressions in braces, like {text1|text2}, are lists of text literals, separated by vertical bars (|) of
which one and only one must occur in the message.
Expressions in angular brackets, like <xx>, are message variables, which are filled with the
appropriate values by the Transformer Monitoring DTA.
