Abstract
A communication network employing a communicator, a string commander and a measurement string including one or more operational monitors. The string commander is in communication with the communicator and the operational monitor(s) in accordance with a serial communication protocol. In operation, each operational monitor measures one or more operational parameters of one of a system, a device or a sensor, and communicates the measurement(s) to the string commander. The string commander collects measurements of the operational parameter(s) of an associated measurement string and formats the measurements into the reportable format that is made available by the communicator to a workstation and/or a database.
