The system uses fully programmable logic and settings that can be uploaded or downloaded using the built-in TCP/IP (electrical or optical) interface. Communicating with the system is done with a PC using a Web Browser. The GARD 8000 has a built-in web server that contains all of the user settings, no special or proprietary software is required to access the product. A most unique feature is that the user manual and customer system and application drawings are stored in the GARD 8000 in Adobe pdf format and are easily accessible from the GARD 8000 web browser. The GARD 8000 is available in a 3U chassis (5.25”) which can support up to two additional teleprotection or protective relay function modules, or a 6U chassis (10.50”) which can support up to eight teleprotection or protective relay function modules. Redundant controller and power supplies are available as options for applications where ultra reliable systems are required.
