| Remote Monitoring is a new technology, which | | | | - Data logging - records the events in the |
| allows the user to access and monitor a device | | | | gateways memory using the serial port |
| from a distant or remote location. Sometimes, it | | | | commands |
| is difficult to be available physically at some | | | | - Alarm processing - the component checks as |
| specific location, yet it is important to monitor and | | | | and when any record is added and the report is |
| manage the device. Remote monitoring is the | | | | provided on the alarm events. |
| best solution for this type of problem. Now with | | | | - Scheduling - gateway does scheduling for local |
| new high speed transmitters, you can access | | | | data logging and database communication. |
| your monitor from a distant location at a faster | | | | - Database synchronization - synchronizes the |
| speed as compared to a standard phone line | | | | data present on the machine with the database |
| communication. You are only required to connect | | | | applications. |
| the CCTV equipment with the remote video | | | | - Centrally configured - the remote monitoring |
| transmitter and the transmitter gets connected | | | | device is configured centrally. |
| with a DSL/CABLE modem, which has a static IP | | | | - Local status reporting - status report of the |
| Address. Now, whenever you want to monitor | | | | distant machine is found with the help of serial line |
| the location, type the static IP address in the | | | | command. |
| address bar of the web browser, and you will be | | | | - Internet protocols - TCP/IP is a common |
| able to instantly access the location from any part | | | | internet protocol and is supported by remote |
| of the world. | | | | monitoring device. TCP/IP protocol is used for |
| Remote monitoring of machines requires | | | | communication between two machines. |
| intelligence for the transportation of data to a | | | | - GSM/GPRS Interface - provides wireless |
| web-based application. For transferring the data | | | | modem interface to the GSM/GPRS network and |
| from one location to another distant location, | | | | other networks. |
| gateway is required along with the modem. | | | | Remote monitoring helps a user to perform |
| Gateway is a remote monitoring device, which | | | | following things: |
| accepts the data from the remote machine and | | | | · Collection of data from the remote |
| delivers it to the software. This whole system is | | | | device with the help of gateway |
| known as telemetry system. Telemetry system | | | | · Central configuration |
| includes hardware, management software, and | | | | · Automated alarm notifications at the |
| services, which automate the communication | | | | time of some problem |
| between machines. Telemetry system helps in | | | | · Data synchronization with the back |
| monitoring and managing the device remotely with | | | | office |
| the help of Internet. It is an efficient method, | | | | · Administration of machines from a |
| which helps companies to reduce the cost and | | | | distant location |
| increase revenue. | | | | Remote monitoring over the Internet allows the |
| The main components of telemetry system | | | | users to monitor and manage machines, contacts, |
| include: | | | | and users without being present at the location, |
| - Serial Interface - the remote machine is | | | | which saves traveling time, cost, and hassles of |
| attached to a serial port by AT-command set. | | | | commuting. Remote monitoring is a boon for |
| - Real Time Clock - Real Time Clock (RTC) is | | | | those, who have to manage a lot of things in |
| computer clock that monitors the time and | | | | very short time duration. |
| schedule the logged events according to the time. | | | | |
