Abstract
A method for monitoring and controlling an industrial process which changes condition over time includes collecting sensor data from a sensor affected by the industrial process and transmitting it to a gateway for processing, transmitting processed sensor data using a cellular device from the gateway to a remote data storage for further processing, sending instructions back to the gateway using the cellular device, producing control signals at the gateway based on the instructions, and sending the control signals to a control device connected to the industrial process.
Claims7
A communication gateway which comprises:
- wireless short-range 900 MHz RF two-way communications radio adapted to communicate with a number of remote sensors;
- wireless short-range Bluetooth two-way communications capability adapted to work as access point to the gateway from a nearby Bluetooth enabled communication device;
- a GPS signals receiving unit;
- a cellular device adapted for long range, two-way communication and data transmission which cellular device is adapted to facilitate communication between the gateway and a remote data storage through a cellular communications network;
- wire connection terminals comprising power supply line terminal, digital and analogue input terminals and digital output terminals;
- an exchangeable battery pack and a built-in sensor which is adapted to determine the voltage level of the power supply line;
- further sensors adapted to determine vibration level and temperature at the gateway;
- characterized in that the gateway further comprises
- a moisture tight enclosure which is adapted to hold the mentioned components.
