Remote Monitoring and Data Logging

This system is available for monitoring and logging heave motion and 3D orientation, gyro and accelerometer data and other parameters such as load, pressure and displacement subsea to depths of 4000 metres. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is utilised for the motion sensing and the real time data is logged by solid state data logger which has additional analogue inputs suitable for load, pressure, displacement sensors etc.. The system can be fitted in a subsea housing suitable for depths to 4000 metres.

Omni Instruments supplies a retrofit GPRS telemetry package which can be fitted to older trains which are not at present equipped with a real time remote telemetry system. This low cost modular system can be used to monitor critical voltages, services and status of relays, and doors etc.. The system sends the data in real time via GPRS to a server where the data is published to a web browser with real time mimic panel views and historic data stored in a database.

The purpose of this project was to continuously monitor wind speed, direction and horizontal cable load on the cables suspended across Aberdeen's main shopping street, on which Christmas lights were mounted.
