Technology
REMMON, Remote Monitoring Ltd. provides a wide range of cost-effective wireless GSM remote monitoring, data logging (AKA Data Acquisition), M2M, and telemetry solutions.
REMMON's product based solutions are designed to provide end-to-end Remote Monitoring, Management and Control of devices, senors and controller PLC, based on three core principles:
- Robust RTUs and advanced data logging solutions using various I/O types, digital, analog and serial and innovative software for configuration
- Advanced solutions over the GSM/GPRS/3G (UMTS | HSPDA) networks for Telemetry communication
- Various remote monitoring and management methods for machine-to-machine communications, enabling control via mobile phone, or by accessing a control panel in a website
This unique combination, and multi-platform approach enables REMMON to support numerous and diverse integrations, worldwide.
Telemetry over Cellular/GSM Based Networks (Wikipedia: Telemetry)
A worldwide GSM/GPRS/3G network offers the following advantages: (Wikipedia: GSM)
- Widespread network availability worldwide
- Remote monitoring of a large number of devices over unlimited distances
- Bidirectional communication
- Easy network deployment dissolving network maintenance issues
- International roaming services, accessing data no matter where you are
- Inherent network services like SMS and GPRS communication for data transfer, emails or for Internet browsing (Wikipedia: GPRS)
- High speed networks (UMTS | HSPDA) for advanced data communications (Wikipedia: 3G)
- Ability to create large deployments in private and secured networks over the public network (Wikipedia: APN)
Data Logging With Remote Terminal Unit (Wikipedia: RTU)
The Remote Terminal Units function as the far end in the Machine-to-Machine architecture. As RTUs support more data acquisition and data logging capabilities from various inputs, so will additional capabilities for remote monitoring be enabled.
Different I/O types
- Digital/ Analog inputs: circuit, dry contact, 0-10V, 4-20ma, PT100
- Digital outputs: relay, transistor
- Serial RS232/RS485 supporting common communication protocols (MODBUS, Hostlink, Unitronics)
- Serial RS232/RS485 supporting proprietary protocols (GPS, Vaisalla, Microlog etc)
Firmware, Software and Data Logging
- REMMON's proprietary firmware utilizes and maximizes the capabilities of the electronic hardware and enables its capability to adopt and support new protocols
- REMMON's software for management and configuration of the RTUs enables accurate data logging, transformation of values, and mathematical calculations
- The data logging and transmission capabilities ensure that all the logged data is sent to the receiving party as defined by the user
Various Machine to Machine communication methods (Wikipedia: M2M)
The completeness of REMMON's remote monitoring solution is based on the various capabilities to aggregate and present logged data to the user/ controlling party:
- SMS to mobile phones
- Mail to POP3 mail accounts
- Data over GPRS/UMTS networks directly to the SCADA (Wikipedia: SCADA)
