The main purpose of remote monitoring and alarm systems—which are used for applications such as security, restricted access, power substations, and remote site management—is to provide vital information in real time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The current expectation is that a remote monitoring and alarm system will provide detailed warning messages in a human-readable format. Engineers who monitor the system should receive all important alerts, but without receiving a lot of nuisance alarms. Maintaining an efficient and secure system is equally important. A new remote monitoring and alarm architecture uses the bi-directional communication advantage of Ethernet to provide engineers with an efficient and cost-effective solution.
