Monitoring Distributed Control Systems with PRTG
Summary
PRTG gets information from these components using OPC UA, SNMP, REST APIs, and other methods of data collection. This data then forms the basis of monitoring with PRTG – it watches for values that exceed defined thresholds and other signs of issues. Here’s a point that I feel needs to be mentioned here, especially considering that companies might select a DCS due to its more robust security: the fact that PRTG can be used “offline” – in other words, it doesn’t need to be connected to the outside world – makes it an attractive choice for monitoring isolated infrastructure. SE3 (Sistemas Eléctricos y Electrónicos Especializados) is a Mexican consulting company that provides industrial maintenance and automation services. For one of their projects in Yucatán, they were able to monitor crucial data such as tank levels, energy consumption, and the states of water pumps and other actuators.
