PCS UtiliData custom solutions using Cooper Power Systems products have been featured in
The Line Magazine and have been highlighted at various conferences. As a Certified Idea Workbench™ Developer, PCS UtiliData:

  • Develops and tests customs solutions on Idea™ relays and Form 6 recloser controls in house.

  • Interfaces directly with the Idea Workbench™ and PeerComm™ dedicated support engineering team at Cooper Power Systems.

ProView™, a Windows® application and the operating system for the IED, is the operating software for CPS’s Idea™ and Form 6 lines of relays and controls. The Idea Workbench™ is a graphical software-programming environment within ProView™, which allows users to customize Edison® Idea™ relays. This environment allows you to:

  • Add new features and protection function using Idea Workbench™ Custom Software Modules

  • Minimize your inventory. By using Custom Software Modules, there is no need to stock extra relays for different feature sets. Features may be added to Idea relays at any time.

  • Add new features and capabilities without upgrading the relay firmware. The Idea Workbench™ is separated from the firmware of the Idea relay.

  • Use over 400 drag and drop programming signals and tools to create custom control and protection logic.

  • Save and share created logic as a Custom Software Module. Notes and links to external files may be embedded within the Idea Workbench™, which allows others to quickly understand how the logic was designed to work.

  • Create custom metering and measurement quantities.

  • Create custom sequence of event records.

  • Configure communication protocols with the Communications Workbench™.

PeerComm™ is an advanced peer-to-peer communication protocol for use with Cooper Power Systems’ line of Idea™ relays and controls and Form 6 recloser controls. Designed with flexibility and ease of use in mind, PeerComm™ allows sharing of status points, counters and measurement values over networks of up to 32 devices. PeerComm's™ Workbench™ tool palette provides all the drag and drop tools to incorporate PeerComm™ into the utilities protection and control schemes.

    
    


Use PeerComm™ to:

  • Implement advanced protection and control schemes.

  • Eliminate the need for RTUs and data concentrators. 

  • Provide graphical interfaces substation wide.
