<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for remotely monitoring the condition of a machine. <P>SOLUTION: In this system and method for monitoring the various conditions of a machine which may be remotely located, parameters available in the machine's monitoring system are synchronized in machine and remote systems. A diagnostic system comprised of a prognostics engine or an interface reviews data stored in the remote system and determines the parameters to be monitored and the allowable tolerances, and relays them to the machine system. The monitoring system monitors the condition of the machine based on the diagnostic system's directions, and the machine system reports when the parameters vary from the defined tolerances. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
