Typical MCN Monitor & Control System
How the System Works
The MCN Monitoring & Control Network includes two basic
parts: Interface Modules and the Operator Interface.
The Interface Modules mount near the equipment to be
monitored or controlled. They pass the status indications from
the equipment to the MCN network for display on a PC. The
Interface modules also accept control commands from the
network and generate signals to control equipment inputs.
The status information from Interface Modules is passed over
the network to Operator Interfaces. The diagram shows a PC
(with MCN RCD™ Software) connected to GPIO modules via
an IP network and HIB-IP modules.
As shown above, the PC can control and monitor equipment at
multiple sites. In addition to using an IP LAN or WAN to
remotely monitor and control equipment, other channels can be
utilized such as PSTN, Microwave, and Channel Banks.
Multiple Displays
The MCN System offers full parallel status and control at
multiple PC Operator Interfaces. PC Displays and Console
Displays may be mixed in a single system with some
limitations.
Dial-Up Applications
For maintenance purposes, a PC display can be used over
dial-up lines with HIB-232 modules. Technicians can remotely
diagnose system problems from home using a properly
equipped PC and dial-up modem.
