Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring and controlling a complex construction installation from a local or remote location. Each of the functional components of the installation have slave processors associated therewith. The slave processors are coupled to a master and additional processing unit. A communication system for each of the functional components connects all of the functional elements within the components and enables a two way data communication between the master and additional processors and the communication systems. A single control unit coupled to the communication system enables the local, off-line monitoring and controlling of the installation. A remote decentralized routing station coupled to the communication system enables the remote, on-line monitoring and controlling of the installation.
