iQ+ Master Station Software
iQ+ is a centralized Master Station application purpose-built for grid monitoring across substations.
iQ+ enables seamless oversight of all Qualitrol grid-focused monitoring devices—including legacy and modern hardware such as IDM+, IDM, the DFR family, FL-8, FL-1, TWS and DSFL fault locators, as well as INFORMA PMD-A and QWAVE power quality monitors. By consolidating fault, disturbance, and power quality data into a single platform, iQ+ empowers grid operators to accelerate fault analysis, enhance system reliability, and streamline event response across the transmission and distribution network.
