Abstract
A system for remotely monitoring a process or equipment comprises: processing means for receiving one or more sensed outputs representative of one or more environmental conditions and/or process parameters and/or equipment conditions; interface means configurable by a user for selecting a subset of the one or more sensed outputs and for defining at least one output data string dependent on the one or more sensed outputs; and communication means for transmitting the at least one output data string.

A system for remotely monitoring a process or equipment, comprising:
- processing means for receiving one or more sensed outputs representative of one or more environmental conditions and/or process parameters and/or equipment conditions;
- interface means configurable by a user for selecting a subset of the one or more sensed outputs and for defining at least one output data string dependent on the one or more sensed outputs;
- and
- communication means for transmitting the at least one output data string.
A system to monitor a process or equipment, comprising:
- a central server;
- a remote sensing device including a microprocessor for receiving one or more sensed outputs representative of one or more environmental conditions and/or process parameters and/or equipment conditions;
- interface means in communication with the central server and the remote sensing device, the interface means being configurable by a user for selecting a subset of the one or more sensed outputs and for defining at least one output data string dependent on the one or more sensed outputs;
- and
- wherein the central server is operable to download the user configurable data and at least one output data string over a wireless network.
A method of remotely monitoring a sensing device connected to a network, the sensing device comprising a microprocessor for receiving one or more sensed outputs representative of one or more environmental conditions and/or process parameters and/or equipment conditions, the method comprising the steps of:
- selecting a subset of the one or more sensed outputs;
- defining at least one configurable output data string dependent on the one or more sensed outputs;
- and
- downloading the at least one configurable output data string to the sensing device.
