IP board Monitoring objects without software
One of our latest developments to some extent breaks the prevailing “reinforced concrete” stereotype of building monitoring complexes. A serious industrial approach to monitoring presupposes the presence of two component parts: microprocessor controllers located at controlled facilities, and a server with appropriate software (software) installed in the Dispatch Center. This is how our hardware-software complex "Sensor-Technotronics" is built .
However, no one will argue that tasks are different. Along with the complex systems consisting of hundreds of objects with developed functionality, there appear unpretentious and compact “wishes”.
So, recently the Customer addressed us, who has several warehouses and a security guard booth. The main technical instrument of protection is video surveillance. But the Customer also needs an alarm about emergency events at each facility: burglary, fire, leakage, etc. In terms of facilities such a problem is solved, as they say, "on time". Miniature KUB-Pico type controllers of our production are installed with the appropriate power, they are connected to the data transmission network, and the whole is short.
')
But with the equipment of the Dispatch Center it turns out uneven. In fact, it is unrewarding to acquire a server, install a DBMS and specialized software and try to train to use all this wisdom, low-skilled, streamlined personnel. As the saying goes, "from the gun on the sparrows."
To put it in a high “calm”, the requirement of world harmony, built into the basis of the development engineer’s worldview, requires that the simplest device for collecting information at the facility has an equally simple and visual means of display and visualization in the center.
After such a detailed introduction, it is easy and simple to describe the product that we have created. So, before you IP-scoreboard.

The board is installed in front of the operator’s workplace, within the line of sight. It connects to the Ethernet SPD and “sees” its controller by IP address. The board contains six indicators that display the status of signals received from the controller. Theoretically, it is possible to link the board to any controller of our development. But it is best combined with the KUB-Pico family , since these controllers have six inputs, as many as there are indicators on the board. Signal binding is simple and natural: the first input is the first indicator, etc.

The textual designation of indicators is conditional and may change with a specific order: we will draw what we want! As it should be according to the rules of ergonomics and technical aesthetics, any change in the state of the input translates the corresponding indicator into the intermittent burning mode, a sound signal is generated, etc. All modes of the display: “blink / do not blink”, “produce sound / do not produce” and others are set by means of the built-in WEB-interface.
In conclusion, we present another possible layout of the controller-board system, which seems interesting to us. In some cases, the scoreboard can be installed not near the operator, but directly on the object. The board connects directly to the controller, and the operator sees the display in the video camera. In a successful case - in the very same camera that already monitors the object. If this “focus fails,” then into a specially installed miniature camera and aimed at the scoreboard. Everything is simple and organic! And no problems with the allocation of aypishnikov, connecting small devices on both sides of a computer network, etc.
