Fast and Easy Configuration

Pre-configured point pick lists and point-and-click configuration bypass hours of tedious programming, register entry and scripting. NCD leverages NovaTech's decades of protocol emulation expertise to facilitate the intricacies of seamless integration. Most customers report hours and even days saved in integration time.

An extensive library of substation devices (and their data points) are selected using scroll down pick lists with intuitive naming structures instead of registers. Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) are configured by selecting the device's manufacturer and model and then the individual data points available from that device. This method not only makes it unnecessary to enter data manually, but also picks up device specific characteristics. Highlighted data values are transferred to a common database, which is the repository for all data retrieved by the Orion.

Attached Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) are also configured with a pick list, selecting from the common database tagnames. Values are moved to the RTU database by highlighting and selecting the tagnames of the desired values. Manual entry of tagnames is not required.

After the NCD file is created and saved, it is transferred to the Orion using the Zmodem file transfer protocol. Online diagnostics can also be accessed using this terminal functionality.
