Asset Inventory DvM has a direct connection to devices and automatically collects and maintains inventory data, ensuring you always have the most updated information about your fleet available. Cybersecurity As well as being compliant with the most modern cybersecurity practices and standards such as IEC 62443, DvM has functions that support customers to be complient with NERC CIP and increase the security layer of their devices through functions as automatic password rotation. Settings & Configuration Management Keeping settings and configuration aligned with the protection studies are fundamental to ensure system reliability.With GE Vernova Device Management, you have access to the complete configuration history of your device and receive alerts when settings are changed, ensuring they match the baseline. Fault Management DvM can collect and concentrate oscillography and sequence of events from relays and Distributed Flexibility Resources (DFRs) in its database, allowing users to have quick access and visualization to event files. Firmware Management Similar to settings, management of the firmware version in the devices are critical to the system reliability.With GE Vernova Device Management, you can maintain your firmware versions and history through automatic communication with the devices, and receive an alarm when any of the devices are mismatched with the approved baseline.
