USING AN EMBEDDED WEB SERVER TO ALLOW A STANDARD MULTI-TASKING OPERATING SYSTEM TO MANAGE, CONTROL AND DISPLAY LIVE OR RECORDED CONDITION MONITORING DATA FROM REAL TIME HARDWARE

摘要

A machine condition monitoring system comprising a machine condition monitoring analysis device operating on a combination of one of an Operating System (OS) or a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) and an embedded web based server. The analysis device includes a communication circuit for communicating with an independent web-enabled computing device having non-RTOS operating system. The independent computing device provides web requests to the analysis device. The analysis device interprets the web requests as instruction sets and processes the requests accordingly. The analysis device obtains machine condition data from one or more deployed sensors. The analysis device returns processed data in a form of one or more web pages. The communication network can integrate an intermediary communication device, wherein the intermediary communication device introduces a capability of translating Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) transmissions into other communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi.
