Monitoring system
A monitoring system including a computer system; a data converter connected to the computer system through a cable; one or more panels each connected to the data converter through one or more data lines; the one or more panels obtaining data by measuring a measurable component of a near or remote system. The computer system monitors the one or more panels to determine when an alarm condition exists and to provide data from the one or more panels.
1 . A monitoring system, the system comprising:
a computer system;
a data converter connected to the computer system through a cable; and
one or more panels each connected to the data converter through one or more data lines, the one or more panels obtaining data by measuring a measurable component of a system;
whereby the computer system monitors the one or more panels to determine when an alarm condition exists and provide data from the one or more panels.
2 . The monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more panels comprises a control module electronically coupled to one or more monitoring modules.
3 . The monitoring system of claim 2 , wherein the control monitor includes a central controller.
4 . The monitoring system of claim 3 , wherein the central controller is a microcontroller.
5 . The monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more panels comprises a control module electronically coupled to one or more monitoring modules.
6 . The monitoring system of claim 5 , wherein the monitoring modules are selected from the group consisting of an 8-transducer module, a 10-switch module, a dual display module, a pressure module or a vacuum module.
7 . The monitoring system of claim 6 , wherein the pressure module has a LED display to indicate an alarm condition.
8 . The monitoring system of claim 6 , wherein the 10-switch module has three modes of operation.
9 . The monitoring system of claim 6 , wherein the 8-transducer module has a four position LED display.
10 . The monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the system contains from one to sixty-four panels.
11 . The monitoring system of claim 10 wherein the parameters being monitored are selected from the group consisting of medical gases, clinical vacuum, WAGD, delivery of gas or vacuum.
12 . The monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the data converter is provided with a modem to send remote data.
13 . A monitoring system, the system comprising:
a computer system;
a data converter connected to the computer system through a cable; and
one or more panels each connected to the data converter through one or more data lines, the one or more panels obtaining data by measuring a measurable component of a system;
whereby the computer system monitors the one or more panels to determine when an alarm condition exists and provide data from the one or more panels; wherein the one or more panels comprises a control module electronically coupled to one or more monitoring modules; wherein the monitoring modules are selected from the group consisting of an 8-transducer module, a 10-switch module, a dual display module, a pressure module and a vacuum module.
