NTSI customers wanted to be able to monitor weather conditions on the SCADA system computers . NTSI selected the Davis Instruments Vantage Pro 2 and Weather View 32 Software, The Weather view 32 screen above is developed and provided by Weather view 32 Software as a default home screen.
Weather View provides great functionality and basic historical reporting. The only issue for NTSI was that we could not retrieve Weather View historical data and combine in our MSSQL master database. This was do to incompatibility and format issues within Weather View 32 software.
NTSI found that Weather View 32 is great software with excellent functionality when used with the Davis Instruments Vantage Pro 2 as a stand alone Weather monitoring solution.
Below NTSI developed power plant security screens with key pad arming at the main facility entry door(s). In the event that the plant is entered with the system armed,the alarm system sets beacons and triggers the auto dialer alerting power plant security persons.
