PCS Axis Modules

PCS Axis modules are purchased either separately or as a package. Modules and certain system functions (such as Bridge) become operational after entering the software activation key provided by American Innovations (AI). A description of each PCS Axis module is provided in the following table (Table 2-1).

PCS Axis Module

Description

Cathodic Protection Data Manager (CPDM)

CPDM manages cathodic protection (CP) data for facility types such as test points, rectifiers, foreign bonds, galvanic anodes, and tanks. Distribution and transmission companies use this module to manage and track corrosion data as well as other types of corrosion-related data.

Indirect Survey Manager (ISM)

ISM manages and analyzes survey data for above ground continuous surveys (also referred to as indirect surveys). You can enter survey readings manually or use the Allegro Field PC or PCS Axis Bridge to transfer survey readings in ISM. The types of continuous surveys supported in ISM include: Close Interval Survey (CIS), AC Close Interval Survey (AC CIS), DC Voltage Gradient (DCVG), AC Voltage Gradient (ACVG), AC Current Attenuation (ACCA), Soil Resistivity, and Pearson.

Atmospheric Corrosion Manager (ACM)

ACM manages atmospheric corrosion data as required by US DOT 192 and 195 regulations.

Valve Manager (VM)

VM manages valve inspection and repair data. The module provides compliance scheduling, data management, and reporting of valve information.

Internal Corrosion Manager (ICM)

ICM tracks internal corrosion data in compliance with US DOT 192 and 195 regulations. ICM supports facility types such as inhibitor injectors, coupons, samples, and probes.

Leak Survey Manager (LSM)

LSM manages and provides compliance scheduling for leak surveys, classifies leaks and repair data, and supports follow-up activities.

Custom Module Management (CMM)

CMM is an optional add-on feature. If your company purchased the CMM module, you can use this feature to create one or more user defined modules. CMM supports the same features and functionality as those in the various modules distributed with PCS Axis. For example, CMM supports routes, schedules, reports/graphs, user defined fields (UDFs), and themes.
