Database and Display Engineering, DE400
Network Manager provides an advanced data engineering environment. The DE400 tool combines the database creation tasks with the single line diagram creation. Substations with repetitive layouts can easily be built using templates. DE400 incorporates a standardized way of representing a wide variety of physical and abstract objects related to the operation of an electric utility. The environment uses the CIM - Common Information Model (IEC 61970) as an import/export interface. The Data Engineering also includes a graphical editing environment, which allows the user to interact with the network model via
world maps and substation one-line diagrams.
The DE400 provides the following major features:
- Graphical editing of network connectivity
- Forms and tabular entry of parameters
- Import formats such as CIM XML Parser / Exporter
- Format converters
- Deep copy and paste
- Connectivity validator
- Plausibility control of data
- Multi-use and multi-site support
- Audit trail
