Extensive diagnostics and communications tools facilitate monitoring and analysis of the system and the control, and enable flexible, upgradable communications capabilities.

Powerful hardware platform• 800 MHz Quad core processor• 1 GB RAM• 4 GB Flash memory• 1/4-cycle logic execution speed

WorkBench NXG customizable logic • Highly intuitive graphical interface simplifies training and

operator familiarity. Improved navigation with logic tools organized and structured for ease of use—even by non-experts

• Open platform allows viewing and tracing of factory protection logic

• Innovative override logic offers unprecedented flexibility with built-in intercept points to interact with factory logic, eliminating the need for time-consuming factory firmware updates

• Error checking allows the engineer to locate and correct any logic compilation errors before saving the file

• Utilizes protection element-based naming for the relay engineer, as well as conventional recloser control terminology

ProView NXG software interface• Common control platform, consistent with all Cooper Power

series controls, backward compatibility and greatly improved and simplified file management means only one software version needed across controls deployment

• Simplified protection setup and system configuration dialogs make it easy to load device and system parameters and basic protection settings

Diagnostics• User-configurable alarming• Alarm log captures information that can be acted on proactively

to prevent outages and equipment failure• Health monitoring of the control electronics system with LED

indicators for individual circuit boards to aid the troubleshooter• User-configurable sequence of events (SOE) • 1500 SOE records can be stored in non-volatile memory• Oscillography: up to 128 samples/cycle. Forty (40) 1-second

records stored in non-volatile memory

• Fault location assists utility workers and drives down operating costs

Powerful communications tools• DNP3 Serial and DNP3 IP with SAv5• Supports up to 12 concurrent SCADA sessions• Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 and RS-232 port standard• Easily configurable in communications dialog windows• Drop-down communications point mapping

Easy-to-use HMI• 7x21 display with text scrolling• 15 user-programmable soft keys• 51 user-programmable LEDs• USB host and device ports for flash storage devices

and PC connections

2 EATON Form 7 recloser control

The Form 7 recloser control uses the most comprehensive security tools and protocols available in a recloser control.

Integrated security tools help prevent cyber intrusions and unauthorized access and are capable of evolving to meet emerging threats to the distribution infrastructure.

Integrated security protocols and encryption secure digital communications, helping to thwart cyberattacks that could disable extensive portions of the distribution grid.

Device security• Tamper resistance alarms to warn of attempted unauthorized

entry into the control

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with more than ten local user accounts and passwords to grant appropriate access permissions to authorized personnel

• Audit trail to record security-related events such as user logins and configuration or firmware changes. Records are securely retained in non-volatile memory, retrievable using ProView NXG or removable storage device

• Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol to access centralized Authentication and Authorization information for Role-Based Access Control

• Control firmware is digitally signed to verify integrity and authenticity of applied firmware updates preventing malicious code application that could render the control inoperable or proliferate beyond the control

Communications security• Embedded security protocols eliminate the need for added

devices that can be bypassed reducing possible points of intrusion

• DNP3 Secure Authentication Version 5 (DNP3 SAv5) protocol as defined in IEEE Std 1815-2012

• Transport Layer Security (TLS) communications channel encryption and authentication for SCADA and remote ProView NXG connections facilitates secure deployment and protects data integrity and confidentiality

Cybersecurity thought leadership• Eaton’s Cybersecurity Center of Excellence provides continual

leading-edge guidance and standards for deployment to Eaton devices

The Form 7 recloser control’s modular, scalable platform enables serviceability and future upgradability to adapt to your evolving grid.

The control is built around a completely modular, flexible and scalable architecture and features expansion bays to accommodate multiple communication configurations and other field upgrades.

This expandability facilitates faster development and easier delivery of new features and updates, affording the flexibility and agility to meet today’s requirements and future needs, both planned and unexpected.

Modular, scalable hardware• Standard PCIe architecture allows CPU, I/O, comms and other

core components to be easily updated/upgraded

• Expansion bays enable future upgrades for anticipated and unanticipated requirements, helping you to more quickly and easily adapt to the evolving grid

Streamlined software deployment• ProView NXG is built on a standard development platform

deployed across all Cooper Power series controls; only one software application required

• Backward compatibility of all future updates and upgrades eases deployment and eliminates the need for multiple software versions
