The Concept of Remote Monitoring & network and Its’ Computer Architecture
[attachment=32232]
The Computer Architecture Description
- Remote Monitoring & Network Components
- The Management of Computer
Communications and Application Programs
Computer Communication Methodologies and RMON Deployments
- The Integrated Terminal Weather System ( ITWS )
- The Environmental Remote Monitoring System
( ERMS )
- The Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator
Model 6 ( ATCBI-6 )
(1) Electric Utilities Monitor the Performance of Turbines, Boilers, Natural Gas and Air Compressors, Cooling Towers, Vibration Monitors and Switching Gears.
(2) Water and Waste Treatment Plants Monitor Water Levels on Distant Reservoirs and Need Feedback on Chemical Treatments, Flow Rates in Multiple Tanks and Operating Pumps.
(3) Oil Refineries Need Information on Tank Gauging and Leak Detection.
(4) Pharmaceutical Companies Process Temperature, Heating and Cooling Cycle Data, also Drug Compositions are Continuously Monitored.
The RMON Concept
Successful RMON Implementations Can Be Applied In Many Industries
(1) An Appliance Manufacturer Installed / Integrated a Power Monitoring System to a Communications Network. Smart Metering Devices, Protective Relays, Circuits Breaker Units and Motor Starters were Used to Determine Equipment Reliabilities By Measuring Certain Parameters.
(2) Engineers at Pharmaceutical Company SmithKline Installed a PC Based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ( SCADA ) System to SolveQuality Control and Production-Related Problems.
(3) To Increase the Reliability and Dependability of Ground-Based Navigational-Aids, and Other ATC FAA Terminal and Enroute Systems, an RMM Requirement was Mandated.
The RMON Environment
The RME Can Be Complex or Basic. This Depends on the
(a) Requirements of the System to be Monitored and the
(b) Technology Used
(1) Computer Automated SCADA System Consists of Conventional Control Systems and Innovative Software and Hardware Combinations.
(a) System Software Notifies On-Call Personnel of Any Deviations from the Process and Plant Parameters.
(b) Supervisor Views the Active Alarms on the Screen and Notes the Flashing Icon.
© Personnel Empowered have the Ability to Contact the Host Computer and Observe Plant Activities Via a Phone-Based Data link.
Economic Feasibility / Cost Analysis of an RMM System
Cost Savings are Created for the FAA When Remote Maintenance Monitoring Enables a Transition to Solid State
(1) Additional Cost Savings Occur When Visits to Remote Sites are Reduced and Work Centers are Consolidated
(2) Consolidating the Work Force Efficiently Mobilizes the Work Force and Energy Resources
(3) Cost Benefits Derived from RMM Deployments Include Easy Access to Records, Equipment Histories and Technical Help from the National Level
(4) RMM Provides Cost Advantages in Protecting Materials, Equipment and Systems, Reducing Labor Costs and Lowering Infrastructure Expenses
