Abstract
A method for monitoring a remotely located industrial process from a central service location generally comprises transmitting, through existing two-way digital paging networks, a monitoring instruction to the remote location, executing an operational command contained in the monitoring instruction on the industrial process, logging the effect of the execution of the command in a history file and transmitting content from the history file back to the central service location. The monitoring instruction may comprise the identification of an operational event for execution by the remotely located industrial process or be adapted for the on demand execution of one or more scripts of operational events. The content of the history files is transmitted, also through the existing two-way digital paging networks, back to the central service location where the data contained therein may be utilized to simulate the remotely operated industrial process according to date and time stamp information transmitted therewith as a computer generated animation of the remotely operated process.
