Looking at a proposal at the moment and need some HELP!!
Client wishes to communicate with a PLC and/or touch screen by satellite. The site(s) will be very remote.
Requirement for a camera to monitor weather, intruders etc and send photos back to a central point. Communications with a weather station and other devices.
Camera to be controlled locally for automatic sending of photos and a manual override from a web page to position the camera to different angles.
Access to the system by way of a web browser etc.
Looking at using Omron touch screens as there is a video board option available for cameras. The screen also has a web server built in.
Could maybe (?) use the web page to punch through to the PLC to move the camera as required. Position detection by way of a rotary encoder perhaps.
Main issue at the moment is satellite comms gear. The site (s) will be remote and powered by solar cells and batteries.
Any thoughts/recommendations?
Thanks for taking a look.
