They are collaborating to develop a remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a technology for water treatment plants using wireless links. The project, first started in September 2004, uses real-time video and audio links connected to a master control station. It will allow communities to share a trained and qualified operator who can monitor multiple treatment plants at a distance. The $1-million project includes contributions from the Ontario Innovation Trust, the PUC, Industrial Research Assistance Program with in-kind contributions in Sault College and the PUC. The system will be tested at a pilot-scale water treatment plant on a campus with a project completion date set for late March 2006. |
