ADMO

Maintenance task management for protection systems

Manage everything with ADMO

The challenge
Smoothly functioning protection systems are an important
component of a reliable electricity energy supply, which
is why operating resources must undergo regular testing
and maintenance. It is also essential that the relevant test
documents can be accessed at any time.
An efficient maintenance management system should
provide answers to the following questions:
>> When did each operating resource last undergo testing
or maintenance?
>> When are the next maintenance tests scheduled for?
>> Where are the test reports for the individual assets?
>> What is the current test and maintenance status of the
whole facility?
>> Are all relevant test templates and test plans always on
site and available?

In practice, it is often difficult to maintain an overview of the

maintenance plans, test data, and associated documenta-
tion. For example, documents such as test plans, data sheets,
and test reports will often be stored in different locations.
This results in greater organizational costs and makes the
Clear and simple user interface
documents more difficult to access and consult for further
research and analysis.

The solution
We offer an innovative solution that ensures user-friendly
access to any required information and documentation.
ADMO is an easy-to-use database software, designed to
centrally plan and manage all testing and maintenance
activities and make it easy for test technicians to call up the
data they need on-site.
In addition to protective relays, ADMO also allows you to
manage the following operating resources: Maintenance status of all system components
>> Communication systems
>> Control circuitry
>> Current and voltage transformers
>> Circuit breakers
>> Station DC supplies
>> Energy meters
>> Transformers

 ADMO stores locations, asset data, maintenance cycles,
and all associated test documents. With its simple and clear
design, ADMO provides an excellent overview of all mainte-
nance work that is due as well as the current maintenance
status of individual facilities. Stored test documents and
maintenance information can be accessed quickly.
With ADMO you can directly open, edit, and save OMICRON
Test Universe test data and test documents. Even documents
from external suppliers are supported. You can also attach
graphics and images to documents, such as screenshots and
photos of the test setup, to aid memory and visualization.

Advantages
>> Quick and easy access to all test documents,
even while testing on-site and without direct
network access

>> Easy maintenance testing

management

>> Maintenance status overview for the whole

protection system and its individual compo-
nents

>> Simple user interface

>> Central management of all manufacturer

and model-specific documentation and test
templates

Convenient maintenance management

ADMO works on three levels:

Location – Asset (operating resource) – Maintenance
Once a location has been selected, the individual operating Location
resources with all the specific data and maintenance cycle
information are assigned. All maintenance tasks can then be
planned and managed.

Location

The hierachical design of the location management system

displays all the relevant power stations and substations
with their respective voltage levels and feeders. Locations
can be organized according to region and company. When
you select a location, ADMO displays a maintenance status
overview of all the operating resources listed under that
location.

Asset
Selecting the location

Assets are added and assigned to a location. The exact

operating resource data and the maintenance cycle are
displayed. There are individual settings for the maintenance
cycles. Once these have been input, the overview for the
current maintenance status is displayed. Important changes
are noted in the history.

Maintenance
Hierarchical location management

The maintenance window displays a timeline overview

showing all the maintenance work that has been carried out
and the time remaining until the next scheduled mainte-
nance activity. You can easily and quickly call up the related
test reports and measurement results.

Work processes at a glance

Complete reliability and maximum convenience

ADMO optimizes work processes within the team. All relevant operating resource
and test data remain available at any time, be it for work preparation, testing or
verification purposes.

ADMO simplifies coordination within the

team and supports...
> the planning of all maintenance
activities,
> the assignment of the responsible test
technician,
> the development and distribution of
test and settings templates.

With ADMO, every user has a full overview at

their disposal at all times, allowing them to...
> optimize the maintenance strategy,
> comply with current standards,
> fulfil their obligation to provide evidence of
maintenance.

Every document in the right place

Locating documents quickly and easily saves time and avoids errors. Everything has its place
and is arranged in a clearly structured manner.

Location: Substation
The following documents are particularly
suitable for management at this level:
Route descriptions, site plans, responsi-
bilities, important telephone numbers,
deactivation of alarm systems, emergency
measures, etc.

Location: Voltage level

Interlocking schemes, wiring diagrams, trip
matrices, etc. are suitable for management
at the voltage level.

Location: Feeder
Protection concepts, among others, can be
managed at the bottom level of the location.

Event: Commissioning
Documentation of the entire commissioning
process: commissioning reports, tests,
images, notes, plans

8
 Asset
Easy access to asset data. Asset and
installation site documents and
templates can be managed here.
The type library ensures that documents
valid for several assets are only man-
aged in one location, thus avoiding the
duplication of data.

Event: Network disturbances Event: Scheduled maintenance work

Network disturbances in their entirety are Easy preparation of pending maintenance work with
clearly archived; disturbance records for all easy access to test templates from the type library or
involved feeders can be viewed anywhere installation site templates

Analysis of network disturbances
In the event of a disruption in the power supply in particular,
a precise analysis of the fault pattern following network
disturbances is absolutely vital. Faults are often also discov-
ered in the protection system as a result.
Network disturbances can place considerable strain on
operating resources. For this reason, it is essential that fault
patterns are identified when inspecting and performing
maintenance work on protection systems.
ADMO provides an easy-to-use platform for the analysis and
documentation of network disturbances:
>> Most important fault data can be viewed at a glance
>> Overview of all affected feeders and assets
>> Archiving of fault records (COMTRADE and other files)
>> Archiving of assessments / reports and documentation of
measures

Success through teamwork

Multiple user functionality Advantages of the multiple user functionality

In larger energy supply companies, multiple users
manage and plan the maintenance activities.
The ADMO multi-user functionality (Client Server
Edition) for central maintenance management allows
multiple users to work with ADMO from different
locations simultaneously. Data are stored and updated
on a central SQL server, which makes the data available
across the entire network.
An offline copy of the ADMO database also enables
access to test documents when a network connection is
not available.
>> Multi-user access to a central database
>> Immediate availability of test documents
>> Central management of maintenance activities
>> Upcoming maintenance tasks clearly visible for all users
>> Documents are available even without a network
connection
>> Test results from the facility can be easily synchronized
with the database at a later time

Optional data exchange with operating

resource databases

Client Server Edition: simultaneous access to the ADMO database via different
computers as well as an offline copy of the database for on-site testing

12
ADMO license options
ADMO is available either as a Client Server Edition or as a
Stand Alone Edition, depending on your requirements.

Stand Alone Edition

The Stand Alone Edition is ideal for energy supply compa-
nies and service providers where maintenance activities are
coordinated by a single user.

Client Server Edition

The Client Server Edition is the right choice if multiple users
need to use a central database simultaneously.
