Diesel Generator Monitoring System

Generator remote monitoring checks, from a remote location, all parameters that may affect the service of the emergency power system. Bernini Design offers reliable solutions to upgrade your system. A typical application is a standby generator for critical applications like hospitals or shelters.

How Does Generator Monitoring Work?

It works by establishing a remote connection with your diesel generator in these ways:

TCP/IP

MODBUS

A GSM GATEWAY

AMF PANEL MONITORING EXAMPLE

A GSM RELAY

Remote monitoring via GSM, TCP/IP and Modbus are the recommended way to access a power generator from remote locations. The basic concept is to remotely transfer the control panel. In other words, you have a generator placed in Argentina, but from your office in Australia, you will act as if you were in front of the generator. Bernini Design provides a generator remote monitoring equipment, hardware, and software to manage a Diesel Generator placed in a Base Transceiver Station (BTS).

BTS MONITORING

It is about a shelter or a building that includes fundamental equipment that allows wireless communication between the user equipment and a network. The user equipment may include mobile phones, tablets, radio equipment, and computers. This includes wireless Internet connectivity. The purpose of a diesel generator monitoring system is to reduce the operating costs for maintenance. When an outage does occur, service personnel can be dispatched with valuable information regarding what problems they may encounter on-site. A diesel generator monitoring system plays an important role in preventing and reducing network outages caused by generator troubles. You can set pre-alarms, and you can modify the settings of the engine or generator. This will avoid severe damage to the system. The DIESEL GENERATOR MONITORING SYSTEM can monitor the parameters of the utility power to the site, rectifiers & batteries, air conditioner, and other hybrid power types of energy sources.


TCP/IP GENERATOR REMOTE MONITORING

TCP/IP

Bernini Design provides TCP-IP-based diesel generator remote monitoring systems. The diesel generator plays an important role in the case of a prolonged power outage. Generator remote monitoring allows an accurate analysis of the diesel generator to prevent issues that might affect the service of the emergency power system. The Bernini Design's Generator remote monitoring systems drastically reduce operating costs and maintenance.  When an outage does occur, service personnel can be dispatched to the power generator site with important information regarding what problems they may encounter. By using our TCP-IP server, you built a state-of-the-art real-time internet-based monitoring system. Our TCP-SERVER features all hardware security components to prevent

MODBUS TCP-IP SERVER

You are required to connect the TCP IP server to the router by using an Ethernet cable. You must connect the RS-485 cable of the generator controller, to the TCP IP server. The RS-485 connection allows up to 1000m distance between the generator controller and the TCP/SERVER. Both types of equipment can be connected to the engine battery. The power consumption of the TCP IP server is only 100mA when operating at full speed. The module can operate in a wide temperature range of -25 to 70 degrees Celsius. Follow the steps in the user manual to configure the TCP IP server.


GSM GATEWAY

INDUSTRIAL GENERATORS GSM MONITORING

The top results of a good GSM monitoring system are obtained when there are no compromises on the quality and performance of the generator controller. The Be124 GSM system is the best example.

Diesel Generator GSM Remote Control Monitoring

The diesel generator remote monitoring via SMS is the simplest, user-friendly monitoring solution. Firstly, it is particularly used when Fuel Level monitoring is an important issue. This is the case for mobile operators in areas subjected to prolonged power outages. The generators are always located in remote places. Secondly, fast-responding remote equipment together with good diesel fuel sensing devices can prevent theft and will allow you a better scheduler of refuel visits. This will prevent the shutdown of a remote site due to running out of fuel. The Bernini Design generator controllers feature a programmable automatic 'FUEL CHANGE' notification.

BE124 SMS MONITORING USER MANUAL

The kit consists of the following parts:

 1) The F1403 industrial modem

2) GSM antenna

3) Be148 gateway module

4) Set of cables, accessories and user manual

PURCHASE THE GSM GATEWAY KIT FOR YOUR APPLICATION

When you make an order, specify the kind of controller you want to connect: Be124, BeK3 or Be142. Each controller features a different set of MODBUS registers and SMS commands.

MODBUS

MODBUS MONITORING

Direct MODBUS communication is the easiest way to control and monitor a diesel generator. Connect the MOD-BUS to the USB converter to a Bernini Design generator controller. Use a twisted pair cable.  The <be124 generator controller, for example, can drive a cable as long as 1000 meters. Connect a computer with a USB interface. Run the Bernini Design application software to connect the computer to the generator.
