Basler Electric BE1-FLEX Protection, Automation, and Control System

Overview

The BE1-FLEX Protection, Automation, and Control System is configurable

for nearly any Power System application. The BE1-FLEX covers a wide 

application spectrum as it can be configured for any combination of available

functions. The large configurable touchscreen provides an application-specific

user interface. To support unknown future needs, the BE1-FLEX can simply

turn on extra functions, change or upgrade boards, field upgrade non-hardware

style options, and securely update firmware all without needing to remove it

from the installation.

Benefits

• A single, cost effective device for nearly any protection, automation

or control application that minimizes future design methodology

changes. As changes are needed, simply enable or modify the required

functionality and increase system capabilities with reduced efforts.

• Reduce sensory and device overload by displaying and utilizing only

what is needed for an application.

• Prioritize and ensure function confidence with Basic and Advanced

views of many features.

• The HMI Home Screen, with pinch-to-zoom, provides system status and
