engine ?

Answer Posted / shriram

We can measure & monitoring bellows points

A) Engine Related
1) Engine RPM
2) Engine oil Pressure
3) Engine oil temperature
4) Coolant level
5) Coolant temp
6) Governor characteristics
7) Battery charger status
8) Battery charging current & its voltage.
9) Engine running HRS
10) Fuel quantity
11) We can monitor like bellow mentioned alarms
a) Starting failure alarm
b) Charger failure alarm
c) Engine over speed alarm
d) Low engine oil pressure alarm
e) Low coolant level alarm
f) Low DC voltage (Battery Voltage)alarm

B) Alternator related (Electrical)
1) Voltage (line to line & line to neutral)
2) Kw
3) KVA
4) Frequency
5) Amps
6) KW Hrs
7) Pf
We can monitor like bellow mentioned alarms
a) Acb Breaker fail to close alarm
b) Over voltage alarm.

These we can Monitor at computer through software & modbus
