HVAC Remote Monitoring System with Serial over Ethernet Connection

Thanks to remote monitoring, HVAC systems can be maintained proactively which helps reduce downtime and prevents HVAC devices from malfunctioning.

To enable remote HVAC monitoring, HVAC service providers rely on dedicated software apps and wireless sensors that capture data from different parts of an HVAC system.

Once an inefficiency is identified, support experts can determine the course of action to reduce it.

Here are just some of the benefits that remote HVAC monitoring offers:

• Continuous optimization and improvement. By receiving data in real-time, HVAC service companies can analyze the conditions and efficiency of HVAC equipment. This opens up the possibility for regular enhancements and improvements of HVAC systems.
  
  
• Timely response to HVAC system issues. Virtually any problem with an HVAC device can be identified immediately and resolved before causing irreparable damage to the whole system.
  
  
• Cost-effectiveness. Remote HVAC monitoring leads to significant cost savings through optimized HVAC system performance and decreased downtime.
  
  
• Reduced wear and tear. With remote monitoring and control, HVAC systems have longer lifespans as many issues are prevented or detected early enough to protect the systems from complete breakdown.
  
  
• High productivity. Once an issue is detected and analyzed remotely, the support company can organize an on-site visit for their expert with all the necessary tools to the correct location.

When building a remote HVAC monitoring system, HVAC service companies rely on specialized hardware and software tools that allow remote access to HVAC components.

Legacy equipment, however, often communicates over serial ports (RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485). To establish a connection to such equipment there needs to be a dedicated software tool designed to do just that.

Serial to Ethernet Connector is a professional software application developed to enable communications between serial-port devices regardless of their location or distance between them.

No matter how HVAC systems are connected over the network and if a remote HVAC monitoring system is cloud- or Wi-Fi-based, Serial to Ethernet Connector may be an efficient addition.

The app allows establishing connections to older RS-485 building automation controllers and numerous HVAC devices.

With its advanced serial port tunneling technology, Serial to Ethernet Connector helps tunnel through a serial connection to a specific controller on the RS-485 communication bus and access it over the IP layer.

This software solution can be used independently or with other dedicated tools like Johnson N2 communications controls, and HVAC-Pro software. It is also available for integration into a home automation system, where HVAC monitoring is an important part.
