Integrating a diesel generator with a diesel generator monitoring systems (DGMSs) or PLCs can be a nightmare for System Integrators. Their challenges range from dealing with the complexity of different protocols and interfaces, to spending too much time on pre-configuration and troubleshooting. With regard to solutions, this White Paper discusses five key points to consider when connecting and monitoring diesel generators through a gateway. Paying close attention to these key points will help SIs overcome several challenges during deployment.
