The PowerCommand iWatch wireless monitoring system from Cummins Power Generation won the Gold award in the power generation category in the 2008 Product of the Year from Consulting-Specifying Engineer magazine. The PowerCommand iWatch wireless monitoring system remotely monitors generator sets via cellular or satellite networks. Users access operational data using the Internet or receive e-mails or text messages about alarm condition updates. The system uses a Modbus or hardwired interface to communicate with a Web server over a satellite or cellular connection.
Wireless remote monitoring of standby, rental or prime power generator sets is convenient and it significantly improves reliability by providing real-time information and historical data logging. For on-site power systems that provide continuous power, real-time remote monitoring can help improve performance and allows users to react to alarm conditions in a timely manner, leading to higher power system reliability and greater peace of mind.
