Easily Create Customized Single-Line Monitoring Screens

• Create single-line diagrams using user-friendly, drag-and-drop tools with standardized symbols and components representing power system assets (transformers, breakers, CT's and PT's)
• Import graphics to customize single-line diagrams and increase usability
• Display power system values and status with minimal configuration through pre­loaded memory maps
• Create customized or "virtual" monitoring points using the powerful Formula Editor

Monitor Power System Devices

• Provide a system-wide view of the power system on one single-line monitoring screen
• Analyze the magnitude of critical power quantities measured by devices
• Generate alarm warnings when measured values exceed configurable critical levels
• Create links to multiple monitoring screens to analyze power system equipment with greater detail

Control Power System Equipment

• Send commands to devices to control and change the status of power system equipment (breakers, switches, isolators)
• Enforces required two-step verification process to the operator sending the command
• Validates user's permissions by requiring passwords to be sent to protection relays or other devices before operation occurs

Audio Notification

• Separate sounds for alert status and alarm status
• Audio notification of alarms and alerts continue until the alarm state is acknowledged by an operator

Visual Notification

• Annunciator screen shows the status of the monitored point
• The alarmed point will flash in a color chosen by the user until the alarm is reset by the operator

Email Notification

• Alarming of any monitored point can automatically generate an email to notify users of the alarm
• A different email address can be entered for each monitored point

Monitoring and Alarm Sentry

• Ensures annunciators and alarms are always active, even when the annunciator screens or the Viewpoint Monitoring software is closed in error

Reliable Alarm Notification

• Create alarms on monitored digital and/or analog data points
• Configured alarm warnings delivered through Audio, Visual or Email Notification channels

Event Logging

The event records from GE Multilin devices can be automatically downloaded from each device and stored in a centralized, system-wide, sequence of event record. Viewpoint Monitoring will continually poll each GE Multilin device to see if any new events have been added to that device's event record. Once a new event has been detected, the event record will be downloaded and the new events will be stored in the system-wide sequence of events record.

Event Viewing

The Event Viewer centrally stores and displays information about preset and configured systems events. Each event in the record contains the following information. This data can be sorted by any of the fields indicated below:

Trending Reports

Create a Historical Archive of Monitored Data from Multiple Devices

Data Logging

• Log and trend the value of monitored analog or digital points
• View logged data for a pre-configured, customized recorded time period

Records

• Create up to 100 customized records
• Store up to 50 points per record for 5000 points logged in total

Chart

• View logged data in a pre-configured, customized date range for trending analysis

Archiving Data

• Manually archive recorded data for storage onto network data repositories to reduce risk of data loss and decrease data storage requirements on local workstations

Exporting and Printing Data

• Export data into an Excel format for easy data manipulation and analysis
• Print data that is logged in trending reports
