NGF COMMUNICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
BE3-GPR Windows
Software is a software application program that enhances communication
between users and BE3-GPRs. This program also provides a real time metering capability for
monitoring generator voltage, frequency, current, watts, power factor, and volt-amperes. BE3-GPR
Windows
interface software serves two primary functions. One, it provides a user friendly
environment to change or make relay settings. Without the software, you must be familiar with the
BE3-GPR terminal commands to program relay settings. With the software, on-screen displays guide
you through the setting process. Two, the software provides a means to monitor the metering results
through the communications interface. Metered data is displayed on the computer screen and
refreshed approximately every second. Real time monitoring provides critical generator data for
evaluating system performance. The interface software also allows the user to save setup
configurations to a disk. This allows a user to save multiple setups for later use and saves setup time
when configuring multiple units.
