The Bass­Trigon Cathodic Protection Data Manager (CPDM) is one of the modules of the Pipeline Compliance System (PCS). It combines the cathodic protection method of corrosion control with scalable database management to deliver order and control to the huge quantities of data produced in cathodic protection systems. At the same time, CPDM lowers the clerical and administrative overhead of operating a CP system, freeing professional staff for engineering functions and data interpretation. Whether scheduling routine field data collection, judging system effectiveness, pinpointing problems, prioritizing ground bed construction, or preparing for a regulatory audit, CPDM is an indispensable tool for cathodic protection professionals. CPDM is the product of a team of experienced cathodic protection engineers and computer professionals, and has been thoroughly tested on both small and large CP systems. In continuous development since 1985, CPDM is the industry leader in Cathodic Protection Data Management.

 
     
 
CPDM Feature Highlights
   

Data Segments ­ The program manages permanent and performance data for test stations, rectifiers, galvanic anodes, foreign bonds and facilities.

Permanent information ­ Such as location, address, protection criteria, user defined fields and performance data including structure, casing, insulator, foreign potentials, native potentials is stored for every test station.

System Hierarchy ­ The system hierarchy may be configured up to five levels to represent the user's actual pipeline configuration. Data is organized in folders and segments representing the pipeline system configuration. Users may select single or multiple folders or segments to work with.

Data Entry ­ Manual data entry is accomplished through user friendly input grids and forms.

User Defined Fields ­ In addition to standard fields, the user may define an additional 130 fields of information customizing the data base to their requirements.

Facility Routing ­ Custom routes can be programmed to provide for efficient data collection. Any sequence of facilities throughout the pipeline system may be specified and saved as a custom route.

Standard Reports ­ The user has the option of using standard reports already provided or creating custom reports through the program's "ad­hoc" report generator. Manual data collection reports can be generated for field surveys.  Numerous other standard reports are available to assist with data collection, data analysis, and work and compliance management.

Ad­Hoc Reports ­ Fully customizable reports with layout, filtering, sorting, and grouping options.

Graphing ­ The CPDM graphics module is designed specifically for CP analysis, allowing thousands of readings to be graphed and quickly analyzed.

Equations ­ CPDM handles pipeline equations.

Dataloggers ­ The CPDM module is designed to work with several dataloggers including: CMT PC5L, SinCorder, PDT 3300, and others.

Replication ­ Replication provides a means to share database changes with other users and central databases. It allows users to work off­line and carry their data on notebook computers for synchronization with the master database at a later time.

System Configuration ­ Data is collected in the field using dataloggers or laptop computers. Data is then sent to a master database for further distribution, analysis, and management.

Scheduling ­ A schedule is made up of a group of facilities to be surveyed over some time period. CPDM also integrates scheduling with dataloggers.

 

Field Data Recorders
   

Several field data recorders are compatible with the software ­ MSI, SinCorder, Tricorder, Symbol 3300, CMT Corvallis Microtechnology.

 

Hardware Requirements
   

PCS uses Visual Fox® and C++ and performs best under the following requirements:

  • Pentium® 133Mhz with 32 RAM
  • 50 MB data storage ­ typical
  • 32 Bit operating system
