Electronic Display
Using an EtherPAD SAN People have connected a LCD Electronic display to the Internet. The EtherPAD is connected to the serial port of the LCD display and, via an ISP, to the Internet. Using the SAN People scripting language, SANscript, a web page was written allowing full control of this display. This web page was then loaded onto the EtherPAD allowing messages to be set from anywhere in the world.
Monitoring the LCD display is a web-cam. Users can thus verify that their message sent via the EtherPAD to the Display unit actually appears. View demo.

  Polyphase Vision Meter

SAN People recently completed a project with ABB Metering, where a script was written to provide a web page interface to a Polyphase energy meter. The serial port of the meter is connected to the serial port of an EtherPAD. The EtherPAD's Ethernet port is connected to the SAN People company LAN. When you click on the link below, a request a is sent from the EtherPAD's built-in web-server. The web-server determines that the request is for a script file, so using a CGI mechanism it starts interpreting the instructions in the script file. The script logs-in and queries the ABB meter, using the meters RS232 serial communications protocol, to retrieve the information requested by the user. Once the data has been retrieved from the meter it is returned with a web page to your web-browser. Client-side JavaScript code interprets the data further and shows the values on the web page. A Java applet (also downloaded from the EtherPAD's web-server) is used to display the values in a graph.

  Remote Monitoring Unit (RMU)

MULTITEL designs and brings to market, innovative, unique and integrated remote management solutions for infrastructure assets in telecommunication sites, and is recognized for its state of the art remote monitoring and control systems used to manage AC or DC Energy Systems, HVAC, UPS, Batteries, Access control, etc.

Multitel make use of the SAN People EtherMOD to provide their End Users (maintenance and engineering) access to their MXP2 188 v3 and MIRADOR Systems from their WEB browsers (Netscape or internet Explorer). The product is sold as a Web Access Device called a WebGate, which includes the SAN People EtherMOD, a PCB and Aluminum extrusion enclosure, a DC Power supply, and connectors, designed by Multitel. The WEB Access Device is installed on Multitel Remote Monitoring Unit (RMU) connected to a Customer's LAN/WAN (IP Network). The WEB Access Device is also offered to customers that want to manage other infrastructure equipment via a WEB access such as: HVAC, Generator set, Plant Controller, etc. The link below will take you to an EtherPAD connected to a Multitel RMU. The EtherPAD is running the same script used on the WebGate, demonstrating how the Multitel RMU is remotely configured.

  SAN People UPS SNMP Agent

SAN People will be launching an SNMP agent specifically for UPS Manufacturers. The SNMP Agent will be based on the same technology as the EtherPAD making this the most powerful UPS SNMP agent currently available.

As most UPS control is based on embedded processors, many legacy UPS designs feature RS-232 communications, but not Ethernet functionality. It is becoming a growing requirement for UPS users to monitor the UPS over their network, using their own SNMP Manager and web browsers.

The SAN People Alliant Power Agent is specifically designed to offer UPS manufacturers and distributors a fast solution to this growing requirement. In addition to offering a number of standard UPS protocols, the standard UPS MIB (RFC1628), and customised web pages, SAN People are able to implement proprietary UPS protocols.

Click on the cabinet below to connect to an Alliant Power Agent, currently monitoring a UPS running a standard serial protocol.
