BESTComs™ and BESTComsPlus™ provide the user with a point-and-click means to set and monitor Basler products. The capabilities of the software make the configuration of one or several products fast and efficient. A primary advantage is that a settings scheme can be created, saved as a file, and then uploaded to the product at the user’s convenience

BESTComsPlus™ uses plug-ins allowing the user to manage several different Basler Electric products.

The plug-in opens inside the BESTComsPlus™ main shell with the same default logic scheme that is shipped with the product. 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. BESTLogicPlus Programmable Logic is used to program inputs and outputs, alarms, and other functions. 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.

BESTWave™ Oscillographic Viewer software Version 1.03.01 also can be ordered from Customer Service.

BESTWave™ software can be used to view any IEEE Std. C37.111 COMTRADE oscillography file. Basler Electric devices with oscillographic recording capability provide their data in this industry-standard file format.

BESTWave™ can open up to four files simultaneously for easy viewing of substation disturbances as recorded by individual relays.

An evaluation version of BESTWavePlus™ is shipped with each BE1-11f, BE1-11i, BE1-11g, BE1-GPS100, BE1-IPS100, BE1-1051, BE1-951, BE1-851, BE1-700V, and BE1-700C,

BESTprint Version 1.16.00 also can be ordered from Customer Service.

BESTprint allows users to preview and print graphical representations of BESTComs™ settings files.

BESTview for the BE1-BPR, Version 1.02.01 also can be downloaded.

BESTView application software provides a simple terminal interface to communicate with the BE1-BPR Breaker Protection Relay, retrieve and display COMTRADE oscillographic fault data, and provide a remote front panel interface.

This software is not required to communicate with the relay. However, it combines the functions of a number of separate packages into one program that is optimized for the BE1-BPR relay.

Firmware

Embedded firmware is the operating program that controls the actions of the microprocessor-based products. Enhancements to product functionality may make a firmware update desirable. To check your product’s latest firmware version or to request an upgrade, contact Technical Support.
