Sentry WebServer
The
WebServer provides a cost-effective, easy-to-use graphical display
of the hazardous gas conditions using the universally available Microsoft
web-browser. It is no longer
necessary to search separately for a gas
detection system that might have a serial output and then search
for a suitable graphical user interface package that might work
with that system and then have to learn how to configure and
use the package or hire a consultant to do the work. Now,
a single source supplier, Sierra Monitor, can provide the entire solution
with a fully integrated system.
- Safety
data presented visually on any PC of your choice located anywhere
in the plant or even remotely
- Complete
interaction with the hazardous gas detection system through a familiar
web browser and no requirement to learn a new GUI program.
- Sentry's ability to accept input from other detectors means that the WebServer can be used to interface to other sensors.
- Ability
to web-browse to system data from your LAN, WAN or over the Internet.
- Easy
to configure graphical color changes are displayed as events
- All
your current alarms dynamically displayed on a single web page.
- An
event log provides easy access to history for due diligence.
- Cost-effective
system with the ActiveX tools needed to configure using readily
available FrontPage from Microsoft
- The
full system available from a single supplier with an outstanding
reputation for before and after sales technical support.
The
WebServer package includes a Sentry display pre-configured for a web
browser enabling the user to operate the Sentry system remotely from
any PC connected to the Ethernet! Imagine
having the ability to manage your plant-wide gas risk management system from
anywhere in the plant! Imagine
having password protected access to your primary gas safety monitoring
system from the control room, the safety manager's office, or remotely!

How it Works
All
of the data available from the Sentry Modbus serial communications
link interfaces to the FieldServer via an RS-232 link. The
FieldServer contains the software and interoperability features to
convert that information into a graphical display package that uses
Microsoft Internet Explorer. A
few standard introductory screens are provided at no extra charge with
the system to enable the user to quickly start operating. With
the WebServer option the user receives the FieldServer, configuration
software and the ActiveX tools necessary to create their own graphical
display. These simple
tools along with an already familiar web browser means that the user
does not need to endure the cost of learning a new program and hiring
an integrator to develop the system. The
system can easily be designed to meet your specific graphical and user
interface needs using FrontPage from Microsoft. Also,
Sierra Monitor can provide graphical design and development service
if desired.
