SEL Blueframe

Application Platform

The Blueframe application platform is an embedded container-based operational technology (OT) system for operating SEL Blueframe-enabled applications. Designed to manage and exchange data seamlessly between supported applications, Blueframe runs on our secure OS that minimizes the attack surface and includes several security measures, like allow listing, to prevent unauthorized access and attacks. Scalable and customizable, Blueframe can be installed on any SEL automation controller (e.g., SEL-3355, SEL-3360, and SEL-3350) to help ensure the availability of your system in a variety of demanding applications and environments.

Secure—Employ secure methods to share information between applications. These applications can only access the data they are permitted to retrieve. Efficient and restricted data exchange allows each application to specialize and provide value-added services to the overall solution.

Flexible—Tailor your system with the applications and hardware you need. Choose from SEL automation controllers to get the hardware that best fits your requirements and budget.

Versatile—Simplify and centralize user access permissions, security parameters, and IED data management with a single, user-friendly, consolidated interface to perform different tasks based on the applications deployed. Blueframe also enables you to customize the system functionality by adding more modular applications.

Scalable—Support installations of any size with an economical solution for both small and large systems. Change the applications to accommodate your system’s evolving needs. You can also readily scale from one or two targeted applications to multiple application suites.

System Architecture

The Blueframe application platform is part of SEL’s modular application environment. This system consists of:

  • Robust hardware you can select from any of the SEL automation controllers (SEL-3350, SEL-3355, and SEL-3360).  
  • The Blueframe platform and OS that run solution applications and provide system tools to help you use and manage the environment.
  • The solution applications you select to run, like the Data Management and Automation (DMA) application suite.

Blueframe Applications

Application Suites
Blueframe applications are designed to be modular. Each application achieves a specific purpose, yet they all share common data using smart data subscriptions throughout the platform to save you time and effort. Our first application suite is Data Management and Automation (DMA), which offers several applications: Configuration Monitoring, Configuration Monitoring Archive, Disturbance Monitoring, Disturbance Monitoring Archive, and DMA Diagnostics.
