Web Portal


Our web portal is the true power of the system, offering customers the ability to view all equipment/sites and their current status from one location. Key features of the portal include a mapping page, a details page, a graphing page, a statistics/history page, a control page, a reports page and a setup page. Below are some further descriptions of these pages, along with more information on daily e-mail notifications.

Mapping Page:
The Mapping Page gives the user a snapshot of the status of their equipment by location. On this page, you can click the colored "teardrop" icons to receive the actual status of the equipment being monitored (pictured below). The mapping page refreshes every 15 seconds to notify you of any status changes. We use color coded icons to indicate the current status of your equipment.

Green - All Systems Normal
Red - Alarming/Event
Blue - Equipment is Moving
Yellow - Maintenance is Required
Gray - System is Unresponsive

We have recently added the "dropdown list" to the portal for easier access to single units in your fleet (pictured below).

Details Page:
The Details Page allows a user to view the specific details of the equipment that is being monitored. The current status is displayed for an easy reference. Also, recent server and Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) update times are displayed so that you know your unit is checking in on it's scheduled time. A list of every alarm being monitored is also available to the user, along with that specific alarm's current status. If you sign up for daily e-mail updates for your unit (see Settings Page), the Details page is what you will receive in your e-mail. Pictured below is a typical Details Page for a generator set.

Below is an example of a Details Page for a typical pump station unit. By going to the details page, you know right away which alarms are active.

Graphing Page:
The Graphing Page is generally used for Analog data. In the example below, we are monitoring temperature, main power (in volts) and the antennae's signal strength. You may also customize your window by viewing the statistics from x date until y date.

Statistics Page:
The Statistics Page gives you a history of the alarms and events on your generator or pump station, as well as the amount of time that alarm was active during those events. These alarms can also be viewed from x date to y date. This data can be exported into an Excel spreadsheet, a Notepad application or simply organized in an HTML format web page for easy printing and filing.

Reports Page:
The Reports Page is extremely helpful for logging the history of your specific alarms. From this page, the user will be able to select a specific alarm (i.e. Pump 1 Running) and see how many events have occurred since its installation. You can define the details of your search by counting the alarm's events, amount of time the alarm is active, and the alarm's duty. These details can be defined further to show occurrences over a day, week, month or year. Just like the Statistics Page, these alarms can be viewed from x date to y date. This data can also be exported into an Excel spreadsheet, a Notepad application or simply organized in an HTML format web page for easy printing and filing.

Control Page:
The Control Page allows the user to control the equipment which they are monitoring. Sending a Poll Command will force the RTU to check in with the server and send a current, full status report. Also, users will have the ability to energize (start) and de-energize (stop) their critical equipment with the click of their mouse.

Settings Page:
The Setup Tab allows users to set up site-specific information to include the digital inputs, analog inputs, digital outputs and view specific details on the equipment they are monitoring. The user will be able to setup the notification list, to include all alarms to all specified persons or specific alarms to particular clients (i.e. fuel supplier only gets "Low Fuel Level" alarm). The user will also have the ability to edit the site name, alarm input names and set maintenance alerts based on hours or specific dates.

Daily E-Mail Notifications:
Users will have the ability to sign up for daily E-mail notifications. The user will set the desired time they wish for the RTU to be "polled" and the e-mail of that status to be sent (see Setup Tab above). For example, say you come into work at 8am. You may want to set your daily e-mail notifications for 8am, so that by the time you boot your computer, you'll have the most recent information on your critical equipment in front of you when you get to work. Below is an example of a daily e-mail.

If you click the yellow highlighted link (the name of your site) at the top of your e-mail, you will be taken to a live status of your critical equipment (pictured below). Here, you can click any alarm/event (see Generator Running Alarm below) and get a detailed history report, date and time stamped, of that event.

The user is able to view the alarms/events from x date until y date. In the following example, we're viewing from Jan. 1st, 2009 to February 6th, 2009. The alarm occurred five times in this period, showing the start and stop time of the alarm, the length of the alarm, how many times it occurred in a 24 hour period and how many times it occurs in a week's time.
