Welcome to iQ+
iQ+ is a master-station application. It is used to:
Monitor power quality
Record digital faults and dynamic disturbances
Record transient data and fault location
iQ+ records data from various devices and provides information on request, in the desired
format.
iQ+ replaces a suite of Qualitrol legacy software applications, including QIS, ReplayPlus, Ben32,
TwsBase2000 and TWS-PAD.
Key Features
The following are the features of the application:
Secure, multi-user capability: data is stored in a database that is available on a central

server. Users must log in to the server to access the application. Multiple users can log in
simultaneously to iQ+ and view or process data.
The intuitive user interface is designed using dockable windows and uses a ribbon toolbar,
similar to the Microsoft Office 2007 application suite.
The dockable windows can auto-hide and are displayed when the cursor pauses over
the indicator area.
The color of the application can be changed to suit user preferences.
The user interface provides improved access to information:
Data is collected automatically and stored in the local database.
Reports are automatically generated and therefore available when required. Reports can
be automatically sent via e-mail or copied to a network folder.
Favorites shortcuts can be created for easy access to specific data:
Favorites can be created and saved for future use, each with its own name.
Favorites define the preferred analysis style/parameter/device group.
Favorites can be selected with a single click.
Overview screens:
The important PQ parameters can be displayed on a single screen.

Port Displays the port on which the device is configured.
Resource Name of the resource.
mk:@MSITStore:C:\QUALIT~1\iQ-Plus\IQ-PLU~2\IQ-PLU~3.CHM::/Communicatio... 10/7/2016
Name
Inbound Resource used for accepting incoming connections.
Outbound Resource used for communicating with external interfaces.
Pool Name Displays the name of the modem pool.
Advanced If Resource type is
Ethernet: Allows you to specify a range of authorized IP

addresses for Ethernet adapter.
Modem: Allows you to assign initialization and reset strings
for modem to communicate with the DFR devices
(DFR1200, DFR0-IIb) through modem.
2. Select the check box under Communication Manager to enable iQ+ to use the resource.
3. Click Advanced; if resource type is
Ethernet: This will specify the range of IP addresses that are authorized for each
Ethernet adapter. The authorized IP address range is specified using a start and end IP
address.
Example scenario: The iQ+ Server and the Communication Manager are
installed on an additional PC.
The Ethernet adapter of the iQ+ Server has been authorized to use the IP
addresses range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100.
The Ethernet adapter of the additional iQ+ Communication Manager has been
authorized to use the IP address range of 192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.150
To communicate with a device with IP address 192.168.1.121, iQ+ uses the

additional Communication Manager.
To communicate with a device with IP address 192.168.1.89, iQ+ uses either

the iQ+ Server or the additional iQ+ Communication Manager - whichever is
least busy at that moment.
Modem: This is used to assign initialization and reset strings for modem to communicate
with the DFR devices (DFR1200, DFR0-IIb) through modem.
There are two options:
Select From Equivalent Modem: You will get a dropdown list which contains
all the modems available in database. You can select the equivalent modem.
If the corresponding modem is not found in database, you can give its custom
strings.
Otherwise the corresponding Initialization and Reset strings will

appear.
User Defined: If you select User defined, you can give custom Initialization
and Reset strings.
Click OK to add/modify the initialization and reset strings to modem.
5. Click Save to save changes.

Or
Click Rescan to publish a request to all the communication managers to check for
hardware changes.
Or
Click Refresh to display any changes in the communication manager and its resources.
Or
Click Clean
Clean button in communication resources will delete all resources which are unavailable
(i.e. which are duplicated and grayed out) at one shot irrespective of communication
manager the resources belongs to.
There is also option to delete the grayed out resources explicitly. This is done by right
click on unavailable resource (grayed out) by selecting delete in the pop up.
Note:
The maximum number of concurrent connections of an Ethernet adapter is 20.

This value can be changed in the Configure Settings dialog of the iQ+ Server
Service manager.
Minimum one modem should be dedicated to non AutoComm work. Hence in

order to use modem for AutoComm more than one modem should be assigned
in communication resources.
If you checked AutoComm, Autocomm help will be opened.

Communication load sharing

Load Sharing (communication) Page 1 of 3
Load Sharing (communication)

Depending on the application, the iQ+ Server may have to manage communicating with many
devices. In larger systems, it is possible to install the iQ+ Communication Manager on a
separate server to manage a load sharing of communication tasks.
Typical reasons justifying the implementation of load sharing include:
A large fleet of devices that can only be connected via dial-up modems. As it is difficult to
install more than a few dial-up modems on a single computer, a modem battery will have
to be installed and managed.
A large fleet of devices connected on Ethernet that require very frequent data downloads.
The maximum number of concurrent connections using an Ethernet adapter is 20.
Although this value can be changed, it is beneficial to include a separate computer to
perform additional communications and not overload the resources required by the iQ+
Server.
The following figure displays a typical network layout to illustrate an iQ+ Server with two
additional Communication Managers. The iQ+ Server is installed on Server 1. This includes the
master Communication Manager that will manage all communications (those handled locally
and those handled by other machines). The iQ+ Communication Manager is also installed on
Server 2 and on on a desktop computer. These 2 machines will execute communication tasks
that will be distributed by the master.
mk:@MSITStore:C:\QUALIT~1\iQ-Plus\IQ-PLU~2\IQ-PLU~3.CHM::/CommsLoadS... 10/7/2016
The functionalities of client, server, and Communication Manager are:
Machine Functions
Clients
Initiate requests for manual and automated (scheduled)
data downloads from devices.
Initiate request for post-processed data from database.
Displays charts, report, or data for data analysis.

Server 1
Hosts the iQ+ communication manager (master)
iQ+ Server
Handles requests from the clients.
Performs post processing tasks.
Distributes manual and automated (scheduled)
communication tasks to the available machines and

resources (including itself).
Hosts and manages the database.

Server 2
Hosts the iQ+ communication manager (slave)
Handles communication requests received from Server

1.
Parses data to the appropriate devices in the

appropriate format.
Desktop
Hosts the iQ+ communication manager (slave)
Handles communication requests received from Server

1.
Parses data to the appropriate devices in the

appropriate format.
Example: consider a scenario where 100 tasks have to be executed at once in the above-
mentioned deployment. The master communication manager on Server 1 will take care for the
distribution of tasks depending on the processor load of each machine. This server 1 is loaded
with post processing of data, continuous monitoring for scheduled jobs and database
processing. So it will allocate a limited number of tasks to itself. Server 2, on the contrary has
lesser basic load to cope with, so that it can absorb more communication tasks. Finally, the
desktop machine having limited capabilities will handle tasks accordingly. The practical result of
the load sharing could be in this example:
master COM manager assigns 10 tasks to Server 1 (itself)
master COM manager assigns 60 tasks to Server 2
master COM manager assigns 30 tasks to Desktop
Would the task fail on Server 2, then the system would redistribute the load between Server1
and Desktop respectively.

Sampling frequency
frequency. Available sampling frequencies are: 20MHz, 10MHz, 5MHz, 2.5MHz and 1.25MHz.
Apply To All <Explanation...>
Trigger Threshold Specifies the threshold level which will trigger the line module if the input signal exceeds the configured
one..
Channel gain Used to adjust the ADC input level to a constant value irrespective of the input applied. The full scale
deviation (FSD) input to the FL card is in the range of 50uA to 2mA, and to match this input range to
the FSD value at the ADC input, the gain needs to be adjusted based on the FSD input. This is called
variable gain adjustment. The user has to configure the gain value in percentage in IQ+ based on FSD
input..
High Priority Time Used to specify the High Priority time. In actual conditions the digital input to define the priority of a
fault may occur later than the actual trigger. In such cases any triggers which has happened prior to
digital input with in a time window of predefined configurable value (200mS - 5 Sec) shall be tagged
with the priority as per the digital input.
Trigger Lockout A line module will be 'locked out' if too many triggers are received in a defined time period. The
parameters will be the rate (selectable from 30 to 120 triggers per minute in steps of 10) and the
duration (selectable from 1 to 5 minutes in steps of 1 minute). Once the line modules went into "Lock
out" it will take 30minutes to recovery from this scenario. Once the system has recovered from 'Locked
Out' condition then line module shall be activated and the normal operation resumes.
Trigger rate Used to set Trigger rate. Trigger rate is a drop-down list with values ranging from 30 to 120 in steps of
10.
Duration Used to set the duration. Duration is a drop-down list with values 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and is expressed in
minutes.
Digital I/P Used to configure the digital inputs. There are 16 digital I/P available for configuration. Any of 16 digital
I/P can be configured for generating a trigger when there is change in state of digital I/P.
The fields present in Digital I/P are:
Channel: Read-only field indicating the digital channel number.
Channel Name: Name of the channel.
Normal State: Indicates the state of digital I/P. If the digital IP is Low then voltage is not present
on the digital I/P terminals. If digital IP is High then voltage is present on the digital I/P terminals.
Alarm State label: The Alarm State label is editable by the user.

Device Data Retrieval and Control Page 1 of 1

This section provides information about how to retrieve data from a device and perform various
operations on the device, such as rebooting, updating the configuration and so on.
Important: A device must be added to the topology along with the IP address details before
various operations can be performed with the device. The first command that must be
performed is First Connect, which enables iQ+ to query the device to determine the type of
device and its capabilities. iQ+ is ready to control and retrieve data from the device after the
First Connect command has been performed.
iQ+ can communicate with various types of devices and download a large number of data
types. But, each type of device does not support all data types:
Data can be downloaded from the devices in the following ways:
Manual data browse then retrieval: iQ+ first connects to a device and then displays
the recorded data. The recorded data or a subset of the data can be downloaded. All
downloaded data is stored in the iQ+ database.
Manual data retrieval: iQ+ connects to a device and retrieves all data of the specified
data type for the specified time frame.
Automatic data retrieval: iQ+ connects to the configured device (s) and retrieves the
data of the configured type automatically at a periodic interval.

Recalculate Results Page 1 of 1
Recalculate Results
This option enables you to recalculate the results for a circuit when the circuit parameters have
been modified. The existing results for the circuit are overwritten with the newly calculated
results. This option is applicable for FL records only.
For simple and teed circuits, the existing calculated results are updated with the newly
calculated results when downloading the directory. If a circuit has manually calculated results,
then the results are not automatically updated for that circuit.
If some parameters, such as Line Length or Velocity Factor of a circuit are modified, then the
user must use the Recalculate Results option to recalculate the results with respect to the
changed parameters.
To recalculate the results for a circuit, right-click the circuit and select Recalculate Results.
The Recalculating Results dialog box is displayed that displays the status of the recalculation
of results.
It can be closed to proceed with other operations.
To view the recalculated results, click FL results favorite in the Favorite left pane that displays

For a simple circuit, the result calculations are correct only if both records are available. The Save manual trigger button is then enabled.
If both records are not available, the results shown are not correct and the Save manual trigger button is disabled.
For calculating DTF in a simple circuit, cursor positions at both X and Y end are considered.
Teed circuit
For a Teed circuit, the result calculations are correct only if all three records are available. The Save manual trigger button is then enabled.
If all three records are not available, then the results shown are not correct and the Save manual trigger button will is disabled.
For calculating DTF in a teed circuit,
If a fault has occurred at either the X end or Y end, then the DTF is calculated between the X and Y ends and the result is assigned to the Z end. In this
case, the user is advised to move only the X end or Y end cursors for accurate results.
If a fault has occurred at the Z end, then the DTF is calculated between the X and Z ends and the result is assigned to X end. In this case, the user is
advised to move only the X end or Z end cursors for accurate results.

Reset Trigger
This option enables the user to move the manual trigger line to the software trigger point as
calculated by iQ+. Software Trigger Point indicates the start of the actual deviation of the
waveform from normal state. Reset Trigger attempts to rectify the position of the trigger line
on distorted waveforms. However, this feature should be used with caution as it may not fully
compensate for inaccuracies in the trigger line positioning. It should be used by operators who
are experienced. The following example shows a waveform with a slow rising current that causes
the trigger line to be initially situated in an inaccurate location.
