Remote Monitoring Systems
Remote Monitoring Systems in Generators
There are various control modules used in generators. Depending on the module’s features, different communication ports are available on these modules. With some modules, monitoring is possible only up to 10 meters, while with others, remote monitoring can be performed. At this point, the communication features of the control module are of great importance. The communication features mentioned below and the external communication modules used vary depending on the brand of the module.
The generator monitoring method is divided into three categories:
-
Single Generator Monitoring
-
Wired monitoring up to 10 meters distance from the generator (RS232 Protocol – The monitored computer must have an RS-232 Port. If the computer does not have an RS-232 port, an RS232-USB converter will be required.)

-
Wired monitoring up to 100 meters distance from the generator. (RS-485 Communication protocol – An RS485-USB Converter is required next to the monitored computer.)

-
Wireless remote access via GSM modem (Both the control module and the monitored computer must have a GSM modem.)

-
Monitoring via Ethernet line (Suitable for wired monitoring up to 100 meters or remote monitoring over the Ethernet network.)

-
Sending messages to mobile phones in case of failure via GSM modem.

-
-
Multiple Generator Monitoring
-
In this type of monitoring, single but multiple generators purchased by the customer can be monitored on a regional map via special web software, provided that the control module is compatible. (All generator parameters can be accessed, parameters can be changed, generators can be started/stopped, synchronized or desynchronized.)


-
Simultaneous monitoring of multiple synchronized generators feeding the system on a single screen via Ethernet, GSM modem, or wired up to 100 meters. (All generator parameters can be accessed, parameters can be changed, generators can be started/stopped, synchronized or desynchronized.)


-
Monitoring of multiple synchronized generators feeding the system individually via RS-485 protocol. (All generator parameters can be accessed, parameters can be changed, generators can be started/stopped, synchronized or desynchronized.)

-
-
Single or Multiple Generator Monitoring
-
Monitoring of information from a single or multiple generator via Modbus RS-485 or Modbus TCP by transferring it into a Windows-based SCADA system.
