Introduction to BESTCOMSPlus
®
BESTCOMS Plus is a Windows
®
-based, PC application that provides a user-friendly, graphical user
interface (GUI) for use with Basler Electric communicating products. The name BESTCOMS Plus is an
acronym that stands for Basler Electric Software Tool for Communications, Operations, Maintenance, and
Settings.
BESTCOMS Plus provides the user with a point-and-click means to set and monitor the BE1-11. The
capabilities of BESTCOMS Plus make the configuration of one or several BE1-11 Protection Systems fast
and efficient. A primary advantage of BESTCOMS Plus is that a settings scheme can be created, saved
as a file, and then uploaded to the BE1-11 at the user’s convenience.
The BE1-11 plugin opens inside the BESTCOMS Plus main shell. The same default logic scheme that is
shipped with the BE1-11 is brought into BESTCOMS Plus by downloading settings and logic from the
BE1-11 or by selecting application type (F, I, G, T, or M) on the Style Number screen. This gives the user
the option of developing a custom setting file by modifying the default logic scheme or by building a
unique scheme from scratch.
BESTlogic
™
Plus Programmable Logic is used to program BE1-11 logic for protection elements, inputs,
outputs, alarms, etc. This is accomplished by the drag-and-drop method. The user can drag elements,
components, inputs, and outputs onto the program grid and make connections between them to create
the desired logic scheme.
BESTCOMS Plus also allows for downloading industry-standard COMTRADE files for analysis of stored
oscillography data. Detailed analysis of the oscillography files can be accomplished using BESTwave
software.
