Remote monitoring of climate control units

6 April 2005 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Failures and loss of data represent risks, which can cause considerable damage for complex network and production systems. Rittal now also offers the option of monitoring climate control units with its CMC-TC (computer multicontrol - top concept), which enables the control of security-relevant parameters by remote diagnosis.

The CMC-TC monitoring system has so far been predominantly used for monitoring Rittal enclosures and IT racks. Rittal has expanded its field of application to its TopTherm climate control units.

The modular CMC-TC system works via interface cards that can be optionally expanded. A maximum of 40 cooling units can be monitored. The desired values for Rittal TopTherm cooling units with comfort control can be set via WEB, SNMP or Telnet. Alarm signals and security-relevant information can be called up any time on the Internet or intranet, as an option, SMS-messages are sent automatically to a mobile phone, fax or to an e-mail address. Remote monitoring allows information to be called up and received at anytime and everywhere. This is possible due to the integration of Ethernet technology in the existing control terminals in companies.

Apart from the control of humidity, smoke, air flow and temperature in enclosure systems, the CMC-TC now also monitors fan speeds and the contamination of the filter mats. It sends out a warning for compressor faults, sensor breaks and wrong or missing phases.
