WinMon® Graphical User Interface

S&C’s WinMon’ Graphical User Interface provides full, on-line access to the configuration, real-time, and historical data commonly found in electric power distribution automation (DA) equipment. WinMon runs on PCs, giving authorized users real-time access to the DA system from their desktops.

WinMon’s open architecture (shown here) lets various field devices, protocols, and departments operate within a single network. And the wide area network communication infrastructure can be shared with other applications.

Key features of the WinMon system include:

• Manage large numbers of devices from your desktop
• View event, troubleshooting, and alarm logs, change setpoints, verify software versions, or download historical data
• Share up-to-date information without trips to the field and without special workstations
• Use diverse mixes of equipment and multiple SCADA protocols simultaneously
• Different devices and departments can operate within a single network
• No need to configure each control and status point individually
• Screens can be customized, if desired
• Optional query tool for accessing data for many controls at once
• Global commands can send configuration changes to sets of controls.

WinMon is a key component of Kansas City Power & Light's distribution automation project, which won the Innovation Award for “Best Utility Project” at DistribuTECH '97.
