 Overview

With IntelliLink Setup Software, every S&C automation product that communicates
using the DNP 3.0 protocol can be connected remotely by a computer connected to a
DNP network. Controls can be configured, historical and real-time data can be accessed,
and equipment can be troubleshooted. Optional password protection can be activated
to prevent unauthorized use of IntelliLink software.
To activate IntelliLink software, download a software license from the S&C
Automation Customer Support Portal. S&C automation controls with software
revision 3.4.x and earlier register version 5.0 of IntelliLink software with a license key.
Controls with software revision 3.5.x and later register version 6.0 of IntelliLink
software by registering the MAC address of the computer on which the IntelliLink
software is installed. Contact your local S&C Sales Office for more information.
IntelliLink software communicates with the following S&C products operating under
the DNP 3 protocol:
• IntelliRupter® PulseCloser® Fault Interrupters
• 5800 Series and 6800 Series Automatic Switch Controls
• 6801M Automatic Switch Operators
• IntelliNode™ Interface Modules and Universal Interface Modules
• M Series® Switch Operators
• Model 4801 Remote Switch Controls
• BankGuard Plus® Controls
• IntelliCap® Plus and IntelliCap® 2000 Automatic Capacitor Controls
• Discontinued EnergyLine® 1000 Series Capacitor Controls
• Discontinued EnergyLine® 2851 and 2852 Automatic Switch Controls

NOTICE
The IntelliLink software works with a specific type of S&C control only if it is
configured for that type of control. In particular, an appropriate screenset must be
installed for each control type with which you want to be able to communicate.
A screenset is essentially a definition of product-specific user interface screens
designed for a particular type of control. IntelliLink screensets are normally installed
as part of the S&C product-installation procedure. They provide the user with a
product-specific graphical interface for interacting with S&C controls.

NOTICE
The latest software version 7.5.x can run on any PC that has Microsoft Windows
7 or Windows 10. It requires Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 on Windows 7 and
Windows 10. Confirm that these requirements are met before installation.

NOTICE
Starting with firmware released after June 2020, default passwords for all user
accounts, including the Admin account, must be changed before the IntelliLink
software can connect to a control and access the device Compact Flash memory.
See the “Security—Password Management” section on page 23 for more
information.

to a 6800 Series Figure 9 shows a computer connected to the SCADA communication port of a 6800
Control Series Automatic Switch Control. An S&C serial-to-SCADA port cable is required, catalog
number 07-001355-01. The serial link to the SCADA port can also be sent over a fiber-
optic transceiver, point-to-point radio, or modem. A computer must have a DNP address
registered with the S&C controls it will contact through IntelliLink software.
The 6800 Series Automatic Switch Control is the DNP router, sending messages through
its other SCADA port to its DNP radio, which communicates with the other S&C controls.
With this setup, users can configure and troubleshoot all their DNP controls by connect-
ing to one control. This does not affect this control’s participation in an IntelliTeam®
Automatic Restoration System, and its team does not go to an Out-of-Ready state.

 Using IntelliLink Software for Remote Connections

NOTICE
When the computer is connected to a radio in a switch control (or the headend
radio) and the control (or SCADA system) is disconnected, the IntelliTeam
Automatic Restoration System (or SCADA system) normally connected to that
radio will not perform its normal function. The team of devices will go to the Out-
of-Ready state, or the SCADA system will not be able to communicate.
S&C recommends connecting the computer to a separate, dedicated radio.
For UtiliNet Radios, the DNP address of this radio must be listed in the Frame
Recognition DCW of each radio with which it will communicate. For SpeedNet™
Radios, the DNP and IP address of the dedicated radio must be listed in the
routing table.

Connecting to a DNP Figure 8 on page 13 shows a computer connected via Ethernet UDP/IP, Ethernet TCP/
Network Entry Point IP, or a serial connection through a DNP network entry point to the headend radio. The
DNP network entry point can be a device terminal server or a DNP proxy server, or the
computer can also be directly connected to a dedicated radio. Users can configure and
troubleshoot an entire network through a DNP radio.
When a DNP master station is also accessing information from the S&C control
equipment, the communication link must be capable of properly routing both DNP
message streams. Please contact your local S&C Sales Office for information about
applications that involve more complex communication systems.

Connecting Via DNP The Remote function of IntelliLink software allows connection locally to a device using the
DNP 3 protocol and to remotely access another control by calling its DNP address. Then,
setpoints can be changed, real-time data can be monitored, event logs can be viewed,
and reports can be generated as if connected directly to the faceplate of the control.
Follow these steps to connect via the control’s DNP address:
STEP  1.  Connect the computer to the entry point device to the DNP network.
(a) S&C Automation Device—Use the SCADA port (Port A) on the control. A
DB9 to 6-pin IDC cable is needed; S&C catalog number 007-001355-01.
(b) Headend DNP Radio—Use the appropriate cable.
(c) Remote Terminal Server—Configure the computer to communicate
with the server.

S&C Instruction Sheet 1032-500   15

 Configuring IntelliLink Software for Remote Connections

Setting Screen
NOTICE
Refresh Options
The default refresh rate of 1000 ms is intended for use with local connections where
the channel bandwidth is dedicated to the connection. When connecting over a
network, the manual refresh should be used or the refresh rate extended to avoid
putting excessive strain on the network.

The Remote feature of IntelliLink software offers several options for refreshing data:
From an IntelliLink software screen, select the Tools>Options entry. Click on the
Screen Refresh tab of the Options dialog box. See Figures 12 and 13 on page 20. The
parameters on these screens include:
• Fill On Open (“Fill Screen on Open for Manual Refresh Mode” for software
3.5 and later)—When checked or the Yes option is selected, all the data on a screen
is requested whenever a new screen is called up.
• Refresh Mode Effective (for software versions 3.5 and later)—This allows
toggling between Manual and Auto mode at any time. It also is available at the
bottom of the IntelliLink data screen.
• Refresh Mode On Start Up—By selecting the Once option, the data on a screen
is requested only when a new screen is called up. By selecting Auto, the screen is
updated after the interval specified in Delay between consecutive screen refreshes
setpoint. Toggle between the Once and Auto settings also can be done by using the
buttons at the bottom of the IntelliLink data screen.
• Delay between consecutive screen refreshes—If the Refresh Mode option is set
to the Auto setting, the data are gathered at this interval.
• Show Refresh Progress (software versions earlier than 3.5.x)—When checked,
the status bar at the bottom right of the IntelliLink data screen shows the progress
of the Refresh operation.
If the Refresh Mode option is not set to the Auto setting, the screen can be refreshed
manually by clicking the Once button at the bottom of the IntelliLink Remote data screen.
For software versions earlier than 3.5.x, users can also refresh just one specific parameter
by right-clicking the parameter and selecting the Refresh Item option.

Setting Security For software versions earlier than 3.5.x, IntelliLink software has three Access Password
Options for Legacy levels. From an IntelliLink software screen, select the Tools>Security menu option.
The Set Access Passwords dialog box will open. See Figure 14. The parameters on this

screen include:
Master Password—Setting a master password enables password security. When the
master password has been set, the Remote function of IntelliLink software will not start
again without using the master password or one of the other configured passwords. The
master password is required to enable, disable, or change other passwords, and to disable
the master password itself—which will remove password protection.

NOTICE
Record the master password. Without the master password, changing passwords or
removing password protection is impossible.

Read/Write Password—A user who logs in with this password can view screens and
change setpoints but not change passwords. This password cannot be set until you have
set the master password.
Read-Only Password—A user who logs in with this password can view screens but
cannot change set points. This password cannot be set until you have set the master
password.

The remote functionality of IntelliLink software can remotely operate IntelliCap Plus
and IntelliCap 2000 Automatic Capacitor Controls. Other S&C automatic controls cannot
be operated by the remote functionality but can be operated over a SCADA system by
device-specific DNP commands.
IntelliCap 2000 Automatic Capacitor Controls, IntelliRupter fault interrupters, 6800
Series Automatic Switch Controls, 6801M Automatic Switch Operators, and IntelliNode
Interface Modules using software revision 3.5.x and later can be operated by IntelliLink
software remote commands when the IntelliLink Remote Commands setting on the

Password Admin User Default Password Change

Management With software versions later than 7.3.100, a user is required to change the default user
passwords in the IntelliLink Setup Software before it will allow the user to access the
control and read or modify settings on the control using IntelliLink Setup Software. This
is required for all user accounts, including the Admin account, which must be changed
first before any user can access a control. See Figure 15.

Figure 15. The Password Change Required dialog box requesting the user modify the
password to a non-default password.

Non-Admin User Default Password Change

If users attempt to log in with one of the non-admin accounts before the default password
is changed, they will be notified via the following message that the Admin user must
change the default user account password before being allowed to connect to a control.
See Figure 16.
