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. 

Complete Fleet Management Package

  • Class leading products supported (and more)
  • IDM+ Multifunction power system monitor (with options for power quality, PMU and TWS fault location)
  • TWS FL-8 and TWS FL-1 Traveling wave fault locators
  • INFORMA PMD-A Performance measuring and monitoring device
  • TWS MkVI Traveling wave fault locator

Scalable Client-Server Solution

  • Scalable solution - iQ can be installed as single user / unit to multiple users / complete fleet wide deployment

  • Secure client-server architecture enables multiple simultaneous users to access devices and information

  • Single server database to back up, improving data security / integrity

  • As fleet size increases - Communication Managers can be added for faster data acquisition

  • Multiple protocols / carriers - utilize existing communications infrastructure 

Automatic Data Collection, Storage and Backup

  • Qualitrol intelligent autocomms broadcasts a signal to iQ which in turn polls the unit, downloads the data and performs the user defined / configured scheduled actions  

  • Built in scheduled data backup facility

  • Manual or scheduled automatic data export to COMTRADE / PQDI 

Flexible Data Management and Display

  • Powerful data visualisation tools

  • Quickly navigate to units

  • Multiple interlinked topology design - view as devices / voltage levels / asset type / station name or geography

  • Configure favourite units / views to quickly access information
