Development of a Web-Services-based remote monitoring and control architecture

In this paper, a remote monitoring and control architecture is developed. The architecture consists of a Web-services-based monitoring and control gateway (WSMCG), distributed Ethernet-ready I/O modules, safety detection modules, Web cameras, and networks. It can not only provide general functions of remote monitoring and control but also possess the mechanism of actively detecting appliance´s abnormal power consumption and ensuring appliance safety. This research incorporates the newest network-related technologies with the concept of ensuring appliance safety for developing remote monitoring and control systems. The research results are with novelty and high practicability. It is believed that the developed technologies and concepts can be applied in constructing new-generation remote monitoring and control systems.
