iTools Version 5 features a number of major enhancements, including the ability to create custom user screens (MINI-SCADA screens), configuration "Wizards" to simplify controller configuration, and a graphical wiring editor to configure Eurotherm's advanced Model 3504 and 3508 process controllers. 

iTools Version 5 for Windows® represents the most significant release since its introduction in 1999 as Version 1. This versatile suite of software tools allows configuration, commissioning, cloning and monitoring of all Eurotherm Series 2000 and Series 3000 controllers and also provides runtime monitoring of 5000 Series data acquisition and management recorders. It is capable of editing, storing and 'cloning' complete controller configurations, as well as setting up data logging, process monitoring, Ethernet and modem connections, generating order codes and more. 

iTools employs an OPC® (OLE for Process Control) server - EuroMBus - that uses MODBUS® to communicate with Eurotherm or 3rd party instrumentation. The server connects to the controllers via serial communications, Ethernet or a telephone modem, and may also be used by 3rd party 'client' software such as Wonderware® and LabVIEW®. Additionally, a DDE link using iTools OPC Scope allows parameter values to be displayed 'Live' and historical logged data can also be imported to Excel .
