Access your S&C Automation Products from any PC with
IntelliLink® Remote Setup Software
With S&C’s IntelliLink Remote Setup Software,
you can remotely access all your S&C Automation
Products that communicate using DNP 3.0 Protocol,
from any personal computer connected to the DNP
network. You’ll be able to configure controls, access
historical and real-time data, and troubleshoot
equipment.
IntelliLink Remote is included with IntelliLink®
Setup Software—S&C’s Windows®-based program for
directly interfacing with S&C Automation Products,
furnished at no charge with each control. To activate
IntelliLink Remote, however, you’ll need to purchase
a software license key from S&C. A temporary key is
available at no charge for software evaluation.
Your existing S&C Automation Products can be
upgraded to work with IntelliLink Remote. Contact
your local S&C Sales Office for more information.

Applying IntelliLink Remote
Figure 2 shows how a computer can be connected
via Ethernet TCP/IP or UDP/IP to a device terminal
server with head-end radio. You can configure and
troubleshoot your entire network through connection
to the server.
In instances where a DNP master station is also
accessing information from the S&C Automation
Products, the communication link must be capable
of simultaneously delivering multiple DNP messages.
Please contact S&C for applications involving more
complex communication systems.
IntelliLink Remote can be applied in a variety of ways.
Figure 1 shows how a computer can be connected
to the SCADA communication port of a 5800 Series
Automatic Switch Control furnished with IntelliTeam
or IntelliTeam II. The serial link can be cable or
fiber-optic, or point-to-point radio.
The 5800 Series Automatic Switch Control acts as
a DNP router, sending messages through its second
SCADA port to a UtiliNet® Radio which, in turn,
communicates with other team members. In this
manner, you can configure and troubleshoot your
entire network through connection to a single control.

IntelliLink Remote and
Other Communication Options
S&C presently offers three options for communicating
with S&C Automation Products: IntelliLink, IntelliLink
Remote, and the WinMon® Graphical User Interface.
All three include an easy-to-use intuitive interface with
a consistent look and feel, similar screens, layouts, and
procedures.
Table 1 lists the key features supported by
IntelliLink, IntelliLink Remote, and WinMon, along
with the features of a typical SCADA system operating
under DNP 3.0.
IntelliLink is supplied at no charge with all S&C
Automation Products. It allows you to connect your
PC to the serial port of each of your controls, one
at a time. Communication is established using a
proprietary S&C protocol which works directly with
the control’s operating system.
IntelliLink Remote adds remote configuration
and data retrieval capabilities over a network using
DNP 3.0 Protocol, plus password protection. It can
communicate with multiple devices by calling the
DNP address of each device—one address at a time.
WinMon offers the maximum remote functionality,
permitting issuance and response to DNP commands,
simultaneous access to multiple devices, and other
unique features.
