PSS®PDMS
- Description
- Features
Protection Device Management System
PSS®PDMS (Protection Device Management System) is a universal program to centrally manage protection devices and their settings. All data is stored in a central relational database and is available for data exchange with other programs, such as relay parameterization software. Settings can be exchanged between the power system analysis software PSS®SINCAL and PSS®PDMS.
Numerous settings are needed to parameterize different functions of a modern protection device (overcurrent time protection, overload protection, impedance protection, intermittent ground-fault protection, monitoring measurements, etc.). At any point in time starting from the setting calculation, parameterization and testing the settings as well as the accompanying documents must be traceable and the workflow state clearly indicated. Considering the involvement of different staff members during the workflow and the changing network configurations with corresponding parameter sets and handling of different firmware, the management of protection data is a complex process.
PSS®PDMS is based on customer requirements and was developed to support the protection engineer in the management of protection devices and its settings.
PSS®PDMS key features
- Multi-user enterprise application
- All data stored in one central relational database (either Microsoft® Access®, Oracle® Database or Microsoft® SQL Server®)
- Modern Microsoft® Windows® user interface for optimal data management
- Protection devices modeled comprehensively with all functions and settings, including different parameter sets for the same relay
- Settings checked against setting ranges
- Creation and management of protection device templates which can be used to generate protection devices
- Extensive functions for relay import and export
- Easy connection to external documents (parameter files, descriptions of protection devices etc.)
- Specification and customization of access rights (user roles) according to the company’s needs
- Supports user defined workflows (e.g. planned, approved or active settings), including historical settings
- Data exchange with PSS®SINCAL enables the planner to verify the settings directly in the network model
