Remote generator set monitoring

The PowerCommand iWatch wireless monitoring system provides a simple method of remotely monitoring generator sets via cellular or satellite networks. With no need to install complicated computer software at the customer’s site, the wireless monitoring system allows customers to access operational data using any PC with internet browser, or they can receive emails or cellular text messages on alarm conditions.

Using a Modbus or hardwired interface with the generator set and transfer switches, the system communicates with a Cummins Power Generation hosted web server over a satellite or cellular connection. The web server will also send emails or text messages on alarm conditions. The system is also available with optional GPS for use with mobile or rental generators.

Being able to confirm weekly generator set testing on standby power systems ensures any starting or operating problems will be quickly detected and corrected, leading to higher power system reliability.
