Remote monitoring and control refers to the observation and collection of data in remote locations, the processing of these data, and the emission of control information as a function of the observations to influence the behavior of the distant environment and the monitored entities. Applications range from environmental monitoring (without control) to security and surveillance applications and a high degree of accuracy requiring control tasks (e.g., reactor control, energy control, and industrial process control.)
The remote data are collected through sensors embedded in the environment, which either periodically emit measured values or transmit measurements upon request. Sensors are connected with the monitoring and control system through a communication network. Network connections may be wireless or wired; network protocols may be standard based, such as Internet protocols, or proprietary. The control loop is closed through actuators that influence the controlled process. The monitoring and control system may be distributed to increase the availability of the system and protect against failure of parts of the system. The measured data may be processed at the monitoring and control system or inside the network of sensors. Processing at the monitoring system can be as simple as storing the data in a database or
monitoring the data for unexpected trends or events. Processing of data inside the network can deal with preaggregation of the measured values at the source or at nodes inside the network of sensors.
