<p>A remote monitoring system (10) has a central computer system (40) and at least one data acquisition unit (14) for collecting data from a machine (12) to be monitored. The data acquisition unit (14) includes an on-site computer system (20) having a central processor (26) and an auxiliary processor (28). The data acquisition unit (14) further includes one or more sensors for generating a process data signal and one or more sensors (22,24) for generating a dynamic data signal. The process data signal is fed to the central processor (26) and the auxiliary processor (28), and the dynamic data signal is fed to the auxiliary processor (28). A communication link (18) connects the central computer system (40) and the on-site computer system (20). <IMAGE></p> |
