Legacy Protection Relay " GEC OPTIMHO LFZP 112 "
Legacy Protection Relay " GEC OPTIMHO LFZP 112 "
(OP)
Gooday All
I have this spesific relay "GEC OPTIMHO LFZP 112" on my network which uses an old piece of setting software called opticom, I would like to know if anyone is aware of newer software that will work with this relay and if it is windows based and what communication cable is required. I need to retrieve fault records of the device.
I think Opticom is still a DOS based program. Any experience or help most most appreciated.

You might be able to create a virtual machine to run it, but I haven't tried.
Alstom Grid look after this legacy product, and could advise you on other options. (Please share if they advise a better method to run opticom on a modern PC !)
The relay uses a 25 to 9 pin lead. I got mine from GEC a long while back. Alstom should be able to give you the pin connections to make up a lead if you don't have one.
