Device Management Software

Introduction

Communicating with S&C’s Automation Products is easy using IntelliLINK® Setup Software, IntelliLINK® Remote Setup Software, or WinMon® Graphical User Interface. These Windows®-based programs share a common interface that provides a consistent look and feel, plus similar screens, layouts, and procedures.

IntelliLINK — furnished at no charge with S&C Automation Products — greatly simplifies device setup but offers no remote capability. WinMon, at the other end of the spectrum, provides maximum functionality. It can issue and respond to DNP commands and respond to global commands. WinMon also permits simultaneous access to multiple devices. IntelliLINK Remote offers key elements of WinMon functionality, but is less costly. IntelliLINK Remote additionally permits configuration of, and download of data from, S&C’s unique IntelliRupter® PulseCloser.

The main features of IntelliLINK, IntelliLINK Remote, and WinMon are compared in this table, along with the features of a typical SCADA system operating under DNP 3.0.
