® Software
BESTCOMSPlus is a Windows
®-based, PC application that provides a user-friendly, graphical user
interface (GUI) for use with Basler Electric communicating products. The name BESTCOMSPlus is an
acronym that stands for Basler Electric Software Tool for Communications, Operations, Maintenance, and
Settings.
BESTCOMSPlus provides the user with a point-and-click means to set and monitor the BE1-11m. The
capabilities of BESTCOMSPlus make the configuration of one or several BE1-11m Motor Protection
Systems fast and efficient. A primary advantage of BESTCOMSPlus is that a settings scheme can be
created, saved as a file, and then uploaded to the BE1-11m at the user’s convenience.
BESTCOMSPlus uses plugins allowing the user to manage several different Basler Electric products. The
BE1-11 plugin must be activated before use. The plugin can be activated automatically by connecting to a
BE1-11m or activated manually by requesting an activation key from Basler Electric.
The BE1-11 plugin opens inside the BESTCOMSPlus main shell. The same default logic scheme that is
shipped with the BE1-11m is brought into BESTCOMSPlus by downloading settings and logic from the
BE1-11m or by selecting application type “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 BE1-11m 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.
BESTCOMSPlus 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.
