1.Product Description

1.1.General

Sierra Monitor Corporation offers a wide range of choices for data output from Sentry Gas Monitoring systems. In some cases a simple printer output of gas conditions, calibration confirmations and alarms is satisfactory to meet due diligence requirements. In large plant- wide monitoring situations the Modbus serial communications output is used to interface to existing or new GUI programs that might include information from other safety and process systems in the plant. For most applications the solution lies between these two choices. The Sentry LANServer has been developed to combine the power and flexibility of the Sentry Gas Risk Management System with the interoperability strength of the FieldServer LANServer from FieldServer Technologies. The reliability of a proven gas detection system is combined with the modern technology of the web.

1.2.Features

The LANServer provides a cost-effective, easy-to-use graphical display of hazardous gas conditions using the Microsoft™ Explorer web-browser

Safety data presented visually on a PC located in the plant or remotely

Interaction with the hazardous gas detection system through a familiar web browser - no requirement to learn a new GUI program

Ability to web-browse to system data using LAN, WAN or over the Internet

Easy to configure graphical color changes are displayed as events

All current alarms dynamically displayed and updated on a single web page

An event log provides easy access to history for due diligence

Cost-effective system includes ActiveX tools to configure using Microsoft FrontPage.

The full system available from a single supplier with an outstanding reputation for before and after sales technical support

1.3.Operation

All of the data available from the Sentry Modbus serial communications link interfaces to the LANServer via an RS-232 link. The LANServer converts the information into a graphical display package that can be viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer. Standard introductory screens enable the user to start operating immediately. Configuration software and the ActiveX tools supplied enable the user to modify the provided display to individual specifications using Microsoft FrontPage. Sierra Monitor can provide graphical design and development service if desired.
