The CMM366A-4G is a Cloud Monitoring Communication Module designed for genset control systems, enabling remote monitoring and management via a 4G GPRS wireless network. This module facilitates data transmission from the genset controller to a cloud server, allowing users to monitor real-time operating parameters, receive alarms, and perform remote control actions through a mobile app (iOS or Android) or PC terminal devices.
Function Description:
The CMM366A-4G acts as a bridge between the genset controller and the cloud, providing comprehensive monitoring and control capabilities. It connects to the genset controller via various interfaces such as RS485, RS232, LINK, and USB. Once connected, it collects data from the controller, including engine parameters, generator status, and alarm information, and uploads it to the cloud server. This allows for centralized monitoring of multiple gensets.
Key functions include:
- Remote Monitoring: Real-time access to genset operating parameters, including voltage, current, frequency, power, fuel level, and engine status.
- Alarm Management: Instant notification of alarms and faults, such as over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, low oil pressure, high water temperature, and emergency stops.
- Remote Control: Ability to remotely start/stop the genset, reset alarms, and modify certain parameters.
- Data Logging: Storage of historical data for analysis and troubleshooting.
- GPS Positioning: Integrated GPS functionality allows for tracking the genset's location, which is particularly useful for mobile or geographically dispersed units.
- Network Communication: Utilizes a 4G GPRS wireless network for reliable data transmission to the cloud.
- Local Configuration: Parameters can be configured locally via a USB port using PC software.
The module can also insert a digital alarm input/output signal to achieve monitoring of a generator room entrance guard, guard against theft, and fire facilities. It supports multiple ports for communication with the genset control module, including RS485, RS232, LINK, and USB.
