BESTCOMSPlus

is a Windows
®
interface (GUI) for use with Basler Electric communicating products. The name BESTCOMSPlus is an
acronym that stands for Basler Electric Software Tool for Communications, Operations, Maintenance, and
Settings.
BESTCOMSPlus provides the user with a point-and-click means to set and monitor the DGC-2020ES.
The capabilities of BESTCOMSPlus make the configuration of one or several DGC-2020ES controllers
fast and efficient. A primary advantage of BESTCOMSPlus is that a settings scheme can be created,
saved as a file, and then uploaded to the DGC-2020ES at the user's convenience.
BESTCOMSPlus uses plugins, allowing the user to manage several different Basler Electric products.
The DGC-2020ES plugin must be activated before use. The plugin can be activated automatically by
connecting to a DGC-2020ES, or manually by requesting an activation key from Basler Electric.
The DGC-2020ES plugin opens inside the BESTCOMSPlus main shell. The same default logic scheme
that is shipped with the DGC-2020ES is brought into BESTCOMSPlus by downloading settings and logic
from the DGC-2020ES. This gives the user the option of developing a custom setting file by modifying the
default logic scheme or by building a unique scheme from scratch.
BESTlogic™Plus Programmable Logic is used to program DGC-2020ES logic for protection elements,
inputs, outputs, alarms, etc. This is accomplished by drag-and-drop method. The user can drag elements,
components, inputs, and outputs onto the program grid and make connections between them to create
the desired logic scheme.
Figure 3-1 illustrates the typical user interface components of the DGC-2020ES plugin with
BESTCOMSPlus.
