Built on the Proficy iFIX software from GE Fanuc, the iPower Electric Utility SCADA package for Orion can be engineered, tested and commissioned in a fraction of the time of other systems.

The iPower SCADA Package for Orion includes the following features:

AutoDB™ Database Creation

iPower SCADA imports the Orion Smart RTU database - including point names, addresses, polling parameters, etc. - saving hours of tedious data entry and reducing errors.

 

AutoScale™
Orion RTUs connected to iPower can scale data originating from substation IEDs into units required by SCADA, eliminating scaling at SCADA.

 

Pre-Engineered IED Pick Lists
Orion comes equipped with over 300 IED “point pick lists,” simplifying the process of selecting which IED points should be accessed and presented to iPower SCADA. Supported IEDs include SEL® relays and recloser controllers, Cooper recloser controllers and regulators, ABB relays and recloser controllers and Beckwith tap changers and regulators.

Cyber Security
The communication link between Orion RTUs and iPower can be locked down with the latest security features including strong passwords, firewall and encryption – without adding expensive boxes.

Protective Relay Access
In Ethernet-based systems, protective relay engineering packages residing on corporate servers can pass through Orion to access relay fault records and other non-operational data – without adding a special “communication processor.”

Electric Utility Load Management
The OnDemand load management system automates direct demand-side load control for an electric power distribution business. OnDemand monitors and remotely controls customer loads through the SCADA system. These loads can include domestic hot-water, air-conditioning, irrigation pumps or various non-critical industrial loads.

Support for MultiSpeak®
Interoperability Protocol MultiSpeak enables iPower to work seamlessly with outage management and engineering analysis software, including packages from Milsoft: Milsoft Outage Management System, Milsoft DisSPatch and Milsoft WindMil.
