REFERENCE GUIDE
What is InteliMonitor?
InteliMonitor is Windows based software.
It supports
• IG, IS
• IG-NT, IG-EE and IS-NT
• IL (see Note 1)
• ID (see Note 2)
controllers.
Note 1:
It is possible to monitor InteliLite controller using InteliMonitor software. Be aware that archives will be
saved into IG/IS site directory because IL (LiteEdit) doesn’t provide site structure. It is not possible to
run LiteEdit from InteliMonitor.
Note 2:
At the moment it is possible to view InteliDrive controller using InteliMonitor but it will look like a genset
while InteliMonitor is not configurable yet. In the future it will be possible to view IG/IS and ID
controllers together in InteliMonitor.
It is possible to run DriveConfig from InteliMonitor.
PC hardware requirements
InteliMonitor can be run on PC with Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP platform. PC suitable for this
platform shall be used. There are no other special requirements.
InteliMonitor requires 10 MB of hard disk free space.
Note:
Each new version of InteliMonitor has to be localized again.
To open a connection go to Connection menu -> Open connection… or press Open connection
button on the main toolbar.
1. Mode
You can select among 3 modes of connection:
Quick-connect to controller
It enables to use all types of connection to the controller but without the need of site definition. So it
provides fast possibility of connection. Using buttons you can open/save connection
configuration to a *.CON file. It includes information about for example selected modem, phone
number, IP address etc.
For off-line connection you can open/delete archives using buttons.
It is possible to open
• ANT archives – for IG/IS-NT controllers
• AIG archives – for IG, IM, IP controllers
2. Sites
In this column you can see the list of sites Sites
you have created in the past. The directories Site 1

the Main menu – for example “Monitor – CO1 – IG1”).
- gen-set is running without problems
- alarm present in the controller
- currently selected gen-set is underlined
Go to Multi -> Multi control to open Multi control window. Multi control window also appears
automatically after connection to a multiple site has been estabilished.
When a new site has been created, the default Multi control window will be displayed. This default
window can not be modified by the user.
Use the Multi -> Multi control window wizard to get a template of the user-editable multicontrol window,
which can be modified using the Control window Editor.
The panels in the multi control window, that belogs to a controller which does not communicate, are
displayed with gray background color.
Use this wizard to get a template of the user-editable multicontrol window. Creating of the template is
based on the firmware and application of the connected controllers.
• Tick “MCB used” if the site contains MCB and it’s feedback is connected to at least one
controller. Adjust address of this controller.
• Tick “InteliMains used” if the site contains an InteliMains for MCB/MGCB control. Adjust
adress of the IM.
• If you want to return to the default non-editable multi control window, tick “Old style”. It will
delete the customized multi control window and display the default one.
• Use button to refresh the preview after some changes have been made.
Setpoints are automatically changed in the selected controllers when they are changed in the “Master”
controller.
Placing a mouse on the setpoint shows a hint with the setpoint values in all controllers (Controller
address in the example).
• Automatic generation of the MC window like IMON-2.0 has been kept for the default case, if
there is no file with custom design of the MC window found in the site directory. So there is no
change for users that do not need any change of the MC window design.
• If there is a description file Default.CWD found in the site directory, IMON uses this
description.
• The new directory “CW templates” in the IGS-NT root directory contains some pre-defined
CWD files. This directory should be used also for storing of user-created templates.
• If a custom MC window shall be used for some site, the user has to create a new CWD file
(based on some template or clear file), put objects and arrange it according to the needs.
“Import CWD” function can be used for block import of one CWD to another one (for example
if the site have five equal gen-sets, a template for one genset can be created and then
imported to 5 times to the target CWD.
• Finished CWD has to be saved to the appropriate site directory as Default.CWD.
• If a connection to the site is currently estabilished, new layout of the MC window can be
accepted by right-click on the Mc window icon
Editor menu
File
Open a CWD file. If the editor is launched without connection to any site, the
default directory is CW templates. Otherwise the default directory is the
appropriate site directory.
Save the current drawing to a file. If the file is saved to a site, the name must
be DEFAULT.CWD, otherwise IMON will not accept it.
Editor
Toolbars
• General toolbar contains objects, that are common for all types of controllers – control
buttons, MODE panel, STATUS panel and AlarmList.
• Graphics toolbar contains tool for drawing of basic objects as well as some predefined
pictures and symbols.
• Custom toolbar contains customizable objects that can be configured for using to various
controller types.
• Other toolbars contain specific objects for each controller type like breaker buttons, LEDs,
speed meter, power meter etc.
Structure of a drawing
A drawing can be single- or multilevel. The basic level is the window itself (background). Next level
can be created by putting an object “panel” (from the “Graphics”) to the drawing. The main purpose of
a panel is to group all objects related to one controller (= objects with the same address).
Structure window shows the current objects in the drawing and their structure. It is located in the upper
left corner of the editor window
• In locked mode a panel can be moved or edited it’s properties. It behaves as an object.
• In unlocked mode the contents of a panel can be edited, but the panel itself can’t be moved.
It behaves as a drawing space.
Double click on a panel to lock and unlock it. The current status of a panel is shown by a “lock”
symbol in the upper-left corner of the panel.
Hint:
If you set the property “Controller addr.” on a panel, all objects placed on the panel will take this
address automatically.
Editor functions
• Size of the new created drawing is given by default values in the Editor setup
Import a drawing
An existing drawing can be imported to the currently edited drawing. Go to menu Editor -> Import
drawing and select CWD file that shall be imported. A new panel will be created in the current drawing
and the contents of the imported file will be placed to it.
• Select an object:
Click on it in the drawing or select it in the Structure window.
Hint:
If you do not want to move the object after selection, it is better to select it in the structure
window. Selecting a object in the drawing can cause accidental movement of it, if the mouse
moves during the click.
• Delete a object
Select the object an press DEL key.
• Change structure, e.g. to move an object from one level (panel or base) to another one:
Go to Structure and drag the object to the desired level (panel or base). Warning! If you move
an object from one panel to another one (smaller), the moved object can be invisible, because
it’s coordinates can be out of border of the destination panel. In that case you have to correct
the coordinates manually in the Object inspector
• Lock/unlock panel:
Double click on the “lock” icon in the upper left corner.
• Move/resize object
Select the object and drag it to desired position or edit position/size properties. To resize
object, drag one of resize marks located in corners to achieve requested size.
Hint:
Sometimes a situation can occur, when a object is not visible or visible only partially i.e. the
object is outside the panel/window border. This can be caused by resizing of a panel/window
or by editing the position/size manually. In such a case it is not possible to move the object by
drag and drop. The position has to be corrected manually by editing of object position/size
properties.
Following are important properties with description. Some basic properties are not listed (like “color”
etc.) Objects do not have the same properties, it differs according to each single object.
• Controller addr. – address of the controller, where the object gets data from
• Top, Left – position of the upper left corner of the object, relative to it’s owner (base or panel)
• NT Style – layout of the object (“classic” or “NT style” – shadowed grey).
• Comm. object num. – communication object number, that is used as data source for the
visual object. Press the button to open an archive and display list of available values. Use an
archive saved from the controller you are creating the drawing for. If it is not available, use
default archive of the same controller type, version and application.
• Comm. object for range – communication object number, that is used as data source for the
range of the visual object (for ex. analog gauge).
• Min (Analog meter object) – value level for leftmost pointer position of the full scale.
• Max (Analog meter object) – value level for rightmost pointer position of the full scale.
• Lower limit (Analog meter object) – value level of the leftmost pointer position of the “allowed
range”.
• Upper limit (Analog meter object) – value level of the rightmost pointer position of the
“allowed range”.
• Setting from comm. obj. (Analog merer object) –
o If this property is set to “yes”, then “Max” and “Min” properties are overriden by values
got from the description of the appropriate communication object that is got from the
controller. Low limit is overriden by 0, High limit is overriden by value of “ Max”.
o If this property is set to “no” and the property “Comm. object for range” is not zero,
then “Upper limit” is overriden by value of the communication object “Comm object for
range”, “Lower limit” is overriden by 0, “Min” is overriden by 0 and “Max” is calculated
to have some reserve scale area above the upper limit.
o If this property is set to “no” and the property “Comm. object for range” is 0, values of
“Min”, “Max”, “Lower limit” and “Upper limit” are taken from appropirate properties.
• Under limit color (Analog meter object) – color of the scale between the points “Min” and
“Lower limit”.
• In range color (Analog meter object) – color of the scale between the points “Lower limit” and
“Upper limit”.
• Over limit color (Analog meter object) – color of the scale between the points “Upper limit”
and “Max”.
• Resizable – the visual object can be resized.
• Comm objects (Data grid object) – Open a window for defining of rows of the grid
If checked, no name is
shown for this object
• Color (Panel object)– This property sets backgroud color of the panel.
Hint:
Some graphic objects are “transparent”, so they take the background color. For example if you
want to have NT Style panel with generator object, you have to set color property of the panel to
black or dark gray and line color of the generator to white. This will ensure the generator will be
visible at the NT Style panel.
Example
1. Open the editor and create new drawing. Adjust the drawing to a size, that is suitable for placing
objects of one iG-MINT controller.
2. Put desired iG objects to the drawing and arrage it. Do not put any panels there. Do not fill-in the
“Controller addr” property.
3. Save the finished drawing under some name like “iG-MINT.CWD” to the “CW Templates”
directory.
4. Create new drawing and adjust the size to fit for inteliMains objects.
5. Put desired iM objects to the drawing and arrage it. Do not put any panels there. Do not fill-in the
“Controller addr” property.
6. Save the finished drawing under some name like “iM.CWD” to the “CW Templates” directory.
Hint:
If you already have a drawing for iG-MINT (your own or the default one installed from the installation
package), you can start at the point 4 or even 7
Users
The NT controllers enable to store data about a group of users. It is possible to set protection level for
each user separately, i.e. each user is allowed to perform any action permitted by his password
level(s).
User administration is allowed when password of the highest level (level 7) is entered.
Go to Monitor -> Admin users or press button on the main toolbar and “Admin users” window
opens:
4 5 6
1. Go to Monitor -> Enter password… and enter password for user “U0” or any other user that
has authorization for the highest level (7).
2. Go to Monitor -> Admin users…
3. Click on Enabled on an unused row.
4. Change a User name to Utterson.
5. Level 1 is automatically added. Hold Ctrl button and click on levels 4 and 5.
6. Press OK.
7. Default password for Mr. Utterson is 0.
8. Go to Monitor and press Deactivate password.
9. Go to Monitor and press Enter password.
10. Select Utterson in User name menu and enter password 0.
11. Go to Monitor -> Change password… and enter the new password “1234”.
12. Mr. Utterson will be able to perform any action protected by levels 1, 4 and 5 (e.g. adjust
setpoints protected by these password levels).
Note:
To change protection levels for setpoints and commands use GenConfig.
Access code
Access code disables any access to the controller via remote connection. Without entering of the
access code modem or internet communication cannot be opened.
It is a string of up to 15 ASCII characters.
