The stable flow of information and production is the 'lifeline' of an enterprise.
Loss of data, failure of function and production cause extensive and in many cases life-
threatening damage. Therefore, it is the declared company objective to ensure a maximum of
safety and reliability.
RITTAL offers the support to achieve this: By means of universal competence in effective
prevention, comprehensive safety, and centralized organization, i.e. teamwork for IT safety
and reliability! This results are the optimum combination of enclosure monitoring, server
administration, and climate control components.
The solution for enclosure monitoring carries the Name RITTAL CMC-TC. This concept
includes complete physical monitoring of the enclosure, i.e. temperature, humidity, vibration,
smoke, voltage up to complete enclosure locking and access control. All these items of
information are transmitted via SNMP to a management station and can easily be
administered from this point.
The system is rounded off by its modular structure. Basic monitoring can be implemented in
next to no time. When the requirements grow, the system can easily be expanded and can
also be combined with other components of the Rittal production range.
For more comprehensive systems the CMC-TC Master is ready, acting as a central
management station. It can manage up to 10 self-contained monitoring systems via one IP
address in a network. Alarm signals and monitoring-relevant data of the monitoring systems
are centrally collected and partly documented. The data collected and prepared can then be
called over the 10/100 BaseT connection or directly over a KVM console (Keyboard-Video-
Mouse console). The RITTAL SSC console is suited to this purpose. In addition, the Master
can be connected to a KVM switch.
The significant features of the RITTAL CMC-TC Master are:
•
Central administration of larger enclosure monitoring systems in interlocked networks or
stand-alone
•
Ethernet network connection 10/100BaseT
•
Central web server for configuration
•
Local administration via KVM console (2xPS/2 and VGA connection)
•
Maximum expansion:
Up to 160 temperatures can be measured or
up to 80 doors can be administered
•
Total compatibility with RITTAL enclosure monitoring system CMC-TC and with the
RITTAL enclosure system
•
(Room) Monitoring by WebCam
