A remote diagnostic system for remotely diagnosing and developing a dynamic system including a dynamic system being controlled by a first control system and a device model being controlled by a second control system. The device model simulates the dynamic system and inputs and corresponding outputs are recorded to test the control system and operation of the dynamic system. During operation the dynamic systems inputs and outputs are recorded. The dynamic system input and outputs may then be compared to the device model inputs and outputs to check the accuracy of the device model. The device model may then be updated based on the results of the comparison.

Remote diagnostic system

A crane monitoring system is for determining crane service conditions is disclosed. The crane monitoring systems includes a sensor for measuring acceleration, a processing unit operably coupled to the sensor and a data store storing computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to perform a plurality of functions including determining at least one crane service condition dependent upon a signal from the sensor.
