Cybersecure Design
Blueframe utilizes a hardened, Linux-based OS designed to minimize the attack surface and simplify patch management. Signed and modular applications are isolated by design to support system robustness, and secure application programming interfaces (APIs) enable efficient data sharing.
Modern, Easy-to-Use Interface
The app-based Blueframe interface offers simple navigation and configuration of specialized tasks. Secure and convenient data sharing between applications means increased efficiency and reduced data entry errors.
Versatile Deployment Options
Blueframe can be deployed on rugged SEL computing platforms or virtualized on any server-grade hardware. SEL computing platforms are designed to perform in harsh operating conditions and offer a variety of hardware options for different form-factor and processing power needs.
Specialized OT Software
Data Management and Automation (DMA) Application Suite
Configuration Monitoring
Gather resource configuration and property information on a custom schedule, utilize the archive app to identify the status of in-service devices, and quickly detect unintended changes.
Disturbance Monitoring
Collect resource oscillography and Sequence of Events (SOE) data on an automated schedule, and utilize the archive app to view collected data and expedite fault evaluation.
Credential Management
Automatically rotate IED passwords on custom-defined schedules, either directly or through SEL security gateways. Passwords are stored in a secure, private data store, and reporting tools support password audit requirements.
Meter Monitoring (Coming Soon)
Streamline voltage sag, swell, and interruption (VSSI) and load data profile (LDP) data collection, and centralize data storage. Use Meter Monitoring Archive to review data records from your fleet of devices.
Distribution Management System (DMS) Application Suite
Model Data Import
Import real-world GIS data to automatically configure your power system model for applications such as fault location, isolation, and service restoration (FLISR). This app makes it easy to scale to and update large systems with hundreds or thousands of feeders.
Power System Model
Easily configure a power system model for applications such as FLISR. Draw your system feeder by feeder using a simple graphical interface.
FLISR
Continuously monitor the distribution system and provide fully automated fault location, isolation, and service restoration. Test configurations with an integrated simulator, and easily view the live system status and detailed reports about events and mitigation steps.
Additional Applications and Tools
Flow Controller
Optimize the configuration and management of the SEL software-defined networking (SDN) solution for critical infrastructure. Achieve advanced situational awareness and improve the performance and reliability of OT networks.
Direct Resource Access
Securely connect to individual field devices through permission-based access sessions with this Blueframe management tool. View device-specific data and settings, issue commands, download files, and more with a secure, remote engineering access interface.
Resource Viewer
Quickly review the state of deployed devices and identify any issues that require attention. Resource Viewer presents device status information in an easy-to-read tabular format.
Protocol Services
Collect and concentrate data from IEDs and remote systems using common power system and industrial communications protocols. All collected data are made available for use in Blueframe applications and can be mapped to a server service for SCADA, HMI, or automation scheme integration.
