New PowerCommand iWatch(TM) 100 Web-based Monitoring Tool Increases Genset Reliability and Reduces Downtime

MINNEAPOLIS - The PowerCommand iWatch(TM)100 Web-based monitoring tool from Cummins Power Generation Inc. improves power system reliability by allowing operators to easily supervise and control generators and transfer switches from any location. Using a laptop or desktop computer, this tool provides monitoring of all generator and transfer switch functions via the Cummins Power Generation PowerCommand® network.

The remote monitoring and notification capabilities of the PowerCommand iWatch 100 system allows technicians to diagnose and analyze problems prior to dispatching a repair crew, and provides automatic fault notification by e-mail. The PowerCommand iWatch 100 Web server can monitor up to two generator sets and up to four transfer switches in its standard configuration, or it can be customized to monitor up to 10 devices.

"By gaining the flexibility to remotely monitor generators and transfer switches in real time, operators can now diagnose potential problems before they affect power system performance - even if the operator is off-site," says Steve Hamer, director, Power Systems Controls. "PowerCommand iWatch monitoring also allows access to historical operational data for performing preventive maintenance that can reduce downtime."

PowerCommand iWatch Web-based monitoring is ideal for use in unattended or remote sites, or in locations where telephone lines are not reliable. It can also replace existing staffed monitoring stations, or be useful for other applications that require Web-based monitoring. PowerCommand iWatch supports Ethernet or modem-based connections accessed over Ethernet local or wide area networks (LAN/WAN), or through local modem and telephone lines using Internet Explorer® version 6.0 or higher. Alarm notifications can be sent as e-mails or SMS (short message service) pages to multiple end-users.
