We are pleased to announce the relay explorer RXplore mobile application. RXplore is designed for operators and site engineers to improve the ease-of-use and increase productivity, at site, during maintenance of protection relays. The app enables a secure connection to the ABB cloud and to selected ABB protection and control relays and ABB monitoring and diagnostic devices. RXplore supports downloading data from ABB’s cloud service as well as visualization, parameterization and sharing fault information at site.
RXplore connects to either the site wireless network (WLAN) that has ABB devices on same network or with the ABB cloud to fetch operative data to execute the functionalities offered by RXplore. RXplore is never connected with site WLAN and ABB cloud at the same time, thus ensuring that the site network is never exposed to outside network. RXplore can scan the pre-defined network range to identify supported ABB products or alternatively it can also connect with and operate a single relay.
