Industrial level remote connectivity for Osprey electrical control systems
Osprey Corporation has implemented industrial level remote connectivity into its electrical control systems that allows remote programming and monitoring of Ethernet and serial connected devices from our headquarters in Atlanta, GA. USA or from anywhere in the world. We can assist with basic commissioning of the equipment, troubleshooting equipment in operation, or major system changes that may arise during the life cycle of the equipment. This can significantly reduce the time and travel expenses related to the service and support of our equipment installed globally.
A DIN rail mounted industrial router communicates with Ethernet and serial connected automation devices inside the control panel including PLCs, HMIs, motor controls, etc. To make these devices remotely accessible, the router makes a secure outbound connection to a cloud based Virtual Private Network (VPN) server. Osprey can then connect to the cloud based server which verifies credentials and completes an encrypted VPN pathway between the Osprey engineer and the connected equipment.
An optional GSM modem and service from a cellular internet provider allows locations without an available hardwired network connected to the internet to also benefit. Other optional features include historical data logging for troubleshooting and custom web interfaces for remote monitoring of equipment by authorized plant personnel.
