The Network Manager™ SCADA communicates with substation and feeder RTUs, smart relays and substation automation systems to monitor the real-time status of the network and provide remote control of devices such as switches, capacitor banks and voltage regulators.

The SCADA applications are built on a platform utilizing a full-graphics user interface, a real-time relational database, and a modern process communication system among other components.

ABB's Network Manager SCADA is designed for growth (e.g., start with a small system with limited functions and expand to a fully functional EMS or DMS incorporating multiple number of control centers).

Network Manager SCADA benefits include:

• Easy expansion of data and functionality, excellent scalability
• Immediate access to power system status
• Fast and easy monitoring of power system security
• Direct preventive actions and restoration even during disturbance situations
• Extensive reporting and archiving capabilities including export and restoration of archived data
