Lesson 2: IGSS System Overview 2

 The IGSS Software Package
The IGSS package contains a suite of applications or modules, which can be
categorized as:
• One set for the system designer ( )
• One set for the operator to monitor and control the plant ( )
The IGSS program group

Lesson 2: IGSS System Overview 3

 Main system design modules

• The module for creating the skeleton for the SCADA

project

• The module for creating mimics of process

components and connecting these to PLC
addresses

The IGSS software contains a full set of tools and applications necessary for
building and commissioning a complete SCADA system without extra
programming.
