Abstract
A telemetry device is configured to receive data from one or more sensing devices associated with a component of a utility system. The telemetry device processes the received data by determining a range associated with a value of the received data, and in response to determining the value of the received data is in a first range, generate a first data package having a second number of received data values and transmit the first data package at a first transmission interval. In response to determining that the value of the received data is in a second range, the telemetry device is configured to generate a second data package having a second number of received data values and transmit the second data package at a second transmission interval.
Claims14
A telemetry device associated with a utility system, comprising:
- a communication module;
- and
- one or more electronic processors in communication with the communication module, the
- one or more electronic processors are configured to:
- receive data from one or more sensor devices, wherein the sensor devices are configured to sense one or more parameters of a component of the utility system, determine a range associated with a value of the received data,
- in response to determining that the value of the received data is in a first range, generate a first data package having a first number of received data values and transmit the first data package at a first transmission interval, and
- in response to determining that the value of the received data is in an alarm range, generate an alarm data package and transmit the alarm data package at an alarm transmission interval, wherein the alarm transmission interval is a continuous or near-continuous interval;
- and
- wherein the alarm data package includes real-time or near real-time data received from the one or more sensor devices.
A method for processing data by a telemetry device having one or more electronic processors for executing the method, comprising:
- receiving data from one or more sensor devices configured to sense one or more parameters of a component of a utility system;
- determining a range associated with a value of the received data;
- generating an alarm data package having a first number of received data values in response to the determined range being an alarm range;
- and
- transmitting the data package at an interval based on the determined range.
