Test Universe 4.30 by OMICRON

PC software suite for advanced secondary testing.

Powerful and Efficient

Test Universe is OMICRON’s comprehensive and easy-to-use testing software for the CMC device family. It allows you to combine a wealth of application-optimized test modules for creating flexible and fully automated test plans that provide you with an enormous range of functions.

Its main application area is parameter-based testing covering all generations of protection devices, including electromechanical protection and multifunctional IEDs in fully digitalized switchgear systems.

Aside from protection devices, the powerful combination of the CMC and Test Universe can also test energy meters, PQ analyzers, electric transducers, voltage regulators, and many other devices with optimum efficiency.

Aside from protection devices, the powerful combination of the CMC and Test Universe can also test energy meters, PQ analyzers, electric transducers, voltage regulators, and many other devices with optimum efficiency.

Test Universe has a modular structure. Each module addresses a particular testing requirement and can be started directly for carrying out a simple, manual test.  All modules offer automatic result assessments, e.g., according to a modeled protection characteristic or any other criteria defined by the user.

The OMICRON Control Center (OCC) allows various test modules to be combined as required for creating unique test plans.

Test Universe automatically generates a test report for each test that contains all the test results in a secure format. This test report ensures that the assessment is traceable and that the test can be repeated. It can also be adapted to suit your organization’s needs.

Test Universe is available in 16 languages. Switch between languages whenever you want. The language used for the test report can also be amended retrospectively.

With its PTL (Protection Testing Library), OMICRON provides you with an appropriate protection testing library.  It contains a collection of predefined test plans that cover the most important test sequences for more than 400 different types of protection devices.  Naturally, users can amend or extend these test plans to suit their requirements.

The test object is an essential component of every test plan, and it can be modeled by using the open XRIO file format developed by OMICRON.  LinkToXRIO technology allows the test to be updated automatically whenever the XRIO parameters are modified.  This means that a single automated test template is the only thing you need for testing any number of similar protection devices.  Advanced users will also appreciate many of the other automation options.

Studies have shown that the degree of automation achieved by using Test Universe can reduce protection testing time by as much as 70%.
