PeerComm Networking Enables System Protection and Reliability

• Flexible, Scaleable Networking for Recloser Controls, Protective Relays, Overhead Switches and More
• Implement Peer-to-Peer Networks of 2-32 Devices with No Additional Hardware Required
• Scaleable Data Sets Allow Sharing of Status Points, Counters and Floating Point Values
• Perfect for Radio or Hardwired Applications
• Fail-safe Operation if Any Device Stops Communicating
• Extremely High Reliability
• Rapid Implementation Using the Idea Workbench™ Environment
• See How PeerComm Compares to Mirrored Bits™

Example PeerComm Data Sharing Network with Reclosers, Relays, Switches and Pad-mounted Switchgear

Situation #1
Loop restoration for Fault F1 without PeerComm

Situation #2
Speed for fault F1

• Instantly open 1 and 2
• 8 transfers to S3 to restore power to Load #1
• NOVA 3 closes to restore power to remaining loop
• CB 1 recloses normally, automatically restoring loop

Situation #3
Logic #1 for fault F2

• Instantly open 4, 5, and 6
• NOVA 3 closes to restore power to remaining loop
• M-Force closes to restore power to Load #2
• CB 5 recloses normally, automatically restoring loop

Situation #4
Logic #2 for S2 loss

• Instantly opens 5
• NOVA 4 and 6 open to prevent section 4-5 overload
• NOVA 3 closes to restore power to remaining loop
• M-Force closes to restore power to Load #2
• When S2 restores, loop is automatically restored

Situation #5
Logic #3 for S1 loss

• Instantly opens 1 and 8
• Transfers to S3 to restore power to Load #1
• NOVA 6 closes to restore power to remaining loop
• Overload on Load #1 from section 1-2 prevented by PST blocked to transfer back to loop
• When S1 restores, loop is automatically restored

Situation #6
Logic #4 for permanent fault F3

• NOVA 3 blocked to close into fault

Situation #7
Logic #5 for P_G fault F4

• NOVA 6 recloses
• If permanent fault
• NOVA 6 locks out
• 9 opens
• M-Force closes
• Power restored to Load #2
