Eaton Updates Yukon IED Manager Suite with Web-Based Interface and
Improved Reporting for Utilities
WAUKESHA, Wis. … Power management company Eaton today introduced an update to its
Yukon™ IED Manager Suite (IMS) from its Cooper Power Systems business. The upgrade,
Yukon IMS 6.1, offers a Web-based configuration and improved reporting features, providing
power systems operators with secure, remote access to manage intelligent electronic devices
(IEDs) installed in the field. This helps utilities improve their operational efficiency and meet
regulatory requirements.
“The Yukon IED Manager Suite is already a feature-rich and field-proven software tool, but
we’re taking it a step further by reducing deployment efforts through Web-based tools and
improving operational efficiency through enhanced reporting,” said Jacques Benoit, senior
product manager, Eaton’s Cooper Power Systems Division. “These new features address the
demand for a simplified process with minimal installation costs.”
Included in the latest update is the IED Manager, the IMS’s new Web-based configuration
interface that offers simplified configuration compared to previous versions. The updated
software also includes new reporting features that allow for streamlined North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) compliance
process.
In addition to its upgraded configuration and reporting settings, Yukon IMS 6.1 requires less
labor to install and decreased maintenance time from an IT standpoint. The Web-based

of changes and a common interface for day-to-day operation with multi-user access. Benefits
of improved reporting include assistance with NERC CIP requirements, access to day-to-day
operational reports and compliance reports, as well as the ability to view, print and export in a
variety of formats.
