New Yukon™ Visual T&D Software Helps Utilities Enhance Monitoring and
Automation Performance
WAUKESHA, Wis …Power management company Eaton today announced that its Cooper
Power Systems division has launched Version 4.0 of its Yukon™ Visual Transmission &
Distribution (T&D) Human Machine Interface/Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(HMI/SCADA) Software. The software enables a large variety of data sources to better
integrate into corporate information technology (IT) infrastructure for enhanced automation
and monitoring performance for utilities, commercial and industrial users.
“There is an ever-increasing demand for improved automation and monitoring solutions in the
electrical utility industry,” said Benoit Masson, senior global product manager, Eaton’s
Cooper Power Systems division. “This software helps address that demand by integrating
into substation environments using existing databases.”
Providing increased capacity and reliability, Version 4.0 now includes a new historian feature,
offering a reliable back-up process, as well as expansive reporting and data mining
capabilities. Visual T&D software can be implemented independently or in conjunction with
the Eaton’s Cooper Power Systems SMP™ Gateway, increasing overall system efficiencies
and capabilities.
Designed to reduce engineering, maintenance and commissioning efforts in environments
like T&D and renewable energy, Yukon Visual T&D Software provides end users with the
