Remote Equipment Probing and Monitoring |
Remote equipment probing and monitoring is the base of remote control and/or e-diagnosis. In many cases, the equipments that need to be probed are widely scattered in many places, usually several miles away from the control center.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The conventional ways |
|
|
For off-site equipment with self-testing features: |
|
|
- Scheduled self-testing, real-time data transmission to database at control center, scheduled result monitoring at control center.
- Scheduled self-testing, real-time data transmission to database at field, scheduled result monitoring at control center.
|
|
|
For off-site equipment without self-testing features: |
|
|
- Staff needs to bring testing equipment to testing sites for regular check rounds.
- Control center needs to run testing programs periodically to check off-site plant status.
|
|

These conventional ways have several serious defects: |
|
|
- Delay in result collection, limited space in Field database and high level of weather resistance is required.
- Massive waste in bandwidth and run time. The more check points are, the worse the delay is.

The iPush® Embedded ways
|
|
|
For off-site equipment with self-testing features: |
|
|
- Equipments self-test periodically and transmitting result through iPushR Embedded back to the control center in real-time, and store it into database at the same time.
|
|
|
For off-site equipment without self-testing features: |
|
|
- Install testing program into WinCon-8000 for scheduled testing and send real-time result back to control center.
|
|

|
Otherwise, staff can also run the testing program on WinCon-8000 to get real-time result and send the data back to control center through iPushR Embedded. |

Benefits with iPushR Embedded in WinCon-8000 |
|
|
- When abnormal results occur, real-time alarm notification prevents further damage.
- Control center receive real-time test result.
- Does not have to repeat handshaking and transmitting, so it will saves huge amount of bandwidth and time.
