FCS SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

Increasing demand for real time information from the substation has created a need for "intelligent" relay and communication systems that facilitate setup, modification and data acquisition. To meet this need, PULSAR designed the FOCUS system, making it 100% software configurable. This lets you configure your FOCUS system using a PC connected to the communications port on the local FOCUS maintenance module. FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS) provides a friendly, Windows-based graphical interface to retrieve alarm and target data, stream errors and module status information. This "point-and-click" interface lets you quickly set and modify time slots assignments, channel card settings and other system parameters.

If your application requires communicating with a remote chassis, FCS includes Remote Node Configuration (RNC) software, enabling you to execute all FCS commands both locally and remotely. Remote configuration is as simple as connecting a PC to any FOCUS node and selecting the desired remote node from the "pull-down" menu. Once communication is established, commands are executed exactly as if you were standing in front of the remote chassis.

Because you can perform all system modification and data collection without having to visit individual substations, FCS with RNC will save you valuable time and money.
