Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to monitor and control peripheral devices at a remote operational site. A management platform configures a site controller deployed at the operational site, wherein configuration specifies collection of data from the peripheral devices connected to the site controller. Conditions that monitor device status and specify device alarms triggers also can be configured. Commands, which can be part of a script, remotely control peripheral devices functionally coupled to the site controller. Collected data is conveyed through a wired or wireless link to management component, which stores the data for analysis and report generation, and can supply the data to an authorized terminal. Data and reports can be conveyed to one or more systems and mass storage functionally connected to the management component. Analysis includes data trend generation. Reports include features of observed and predicted data, and alarm summaries.
