Web-based remote monitoring and fault diagnosis system

This paper proposes an approved Web-based multilayer distributed software architecture solution for remote monitoring and fault diagnosis. To tightly integrate legacy monitor systems, a component framework model based on COM has been proposed, which is very suitable for remote monitoring and fault diagnosis applications. This system has the potential for exchanging a data acquisition system by using wrapper service components. A mixed thick Web client architecture is proposed to implement real-time remote monitoring. A Web-based remote monitoring and fault diagnosis system is developed by using modeling technology, Web application technology, component technology and VME extension for instrumentation (VXI) bus technology, which publishes a fault diagnosis algorithm package, a basic monitoring package and an advanced analysis package on the Internet. This system provides authorized users with an effective and instant way to access new monitoring and diagnosis component packages in time. This paper gives researchers a paradigm to accomplish similar systems. The technique developed may be used for other fields, such as power engineering, manufacture and transportation system.
