Using a data collection device in our SC series controllers, Northern Reliability has the ability to collect pertinent data points at predetermined intervals. Our data collection capabilities allow us to map, trend and alarm all of the parameters that are critical to the optimum performance of the system. Data is collected from the SC-100, inverter, charge controller, battery, environmental systems and loads at a frequency of one minute intervals and written to a data base. Files are uploaded from the system on a once per fifteen minute interval basis using a user ID/Password protected cellular modem. The uploaded files are then written to a web enabled application that is also user ID and password protected. Since the web application is “read only” the system being monitored is protected from outside interference.
