The Data Collection application polls all networked devices for transient data, periodic load data, fault summaries and fault histories. The networked devices can be polled a number of ways depending on the existing infrustrure:

  • A single master station at the office using dialup and/or Ethernet to poll the devices.
  • A computer in the station directly connected (Star/Multidrop Topology) to all station devices and transfering all extracted data to the company's network via dialup or FTP.
  • A single master station installed on the company fiber loop and polling all devices accessable from the fiber loop.
  • All station computers polling devices directly (Star/Multidrop Topology) and transfering the extracted data to the local headquarter's hub that is connected directly on the companies private network.
Polling is performed periodically and/or by demand from users who have access to the company's private network. Refer to the System monitor under the Products menu for more information on polling by demand.
