CHAPTER 2
SmartGuard basics
This chapter describes the design idea and basics of SmartGuard addressing the system from configuration
of attached devises till actual data collection and transfer/storage of data. Please refer CHAPTER 4 for details
on how to connect, configure and record data using AADI Real-Time Collector software.
Note! You can start/stop recordings, view data and system status directly from the SmartGuard display.
You will need the AADI Real-Time Collector software to connect additional sensors and to configure
systems and sensors.
SmartGuard is designed to integrate a variety of sensors from simple analog sensors to advanced smart
sensors (from Aanderaa as well as from 3
rd
party vendors).
All connected sensors must appear as smart sensors to the system: simple sensors that are not ‘smart’
needs to be given a correct set of parameters/layout for the SmartGuard to identify the sensor and to
present sensor data correctly. This is done in the AADI Real-Time Collector’s Device Layout. Next, the user
can perform ordinary sensor configuration.
