Features

Leading functionality
MicroSCADA Pro provides all the functionality that is expected from a modern SCADA/DMS system. This functionality is based on advanced and proven algorithms, for instance for fault location, as well as for restoration and network reconfiguration. The traditional SCADA functionality, such as on-line network monitoring data, is complemented with an advanced DMS network database.

Operation and informative presentation of the network
Using MicroSCADA Pro, the operator can monitor the network state and related measurements, and then perform the control actions needed. Versatile process displays, lists and application tools for network tracing, locating components and reporting provide the necessary information for different users. Dynamic line coloring delivers information about topological connectivity, powered/un-powered network sections and about overloaded lines and voltage drops.

The entire network can be viewed on detailed geographical maps in raster and vector formats, as well as in a schematic diagram. Zooming, panning and de-cluttering enable a clear overview and allow users to focus on a specific area to obtain detailed information. The functions are at hand via process displays, maps and schematic network views. In geographical views, several map layers can be used to provide the details needed.

Dependable operational safety
MicroSCADA Pro prevents simultaneous operation of primary equipment. It reserves the device, and verifies whether the selected object can be operated, before executing the command. Additionally, interlocking schemes prevent dangerous operations that might otherwise damage primary equipment. Only authorized users can override interlocking and other locked operations. The lock-out/tag-out function ensures that control of objects in the application or other operations are properly secured prior to and during, for example, maintenance or servicing work.

Intelligent switch order management
The switch order management function supports planning, simulation, execution and reporting of scheduled maintenance outage operations. The intelligent algorithms automatically optimize the switching sequence to minimize the number of affected customers.

Extensive reporting facilities
MicroSCADA Pro provides extensive facilities for operational and measurement reporting. This enables fast and efficient reporting of operational statistics and outages to the utility's own management and external parties, such as authorities and media.

Support for asset management
MicroSCADA Pro integrates versatile asset management support in the SCADA/DMS system. The detailed maintenance and component data in the relational database can be utilized when planning maintenance activities and component replacements.
