Why monitoring ? We can solve technical problems more efficient by collecting and processing distributed informations. We can collect different parameters: tempertature, voltage 220V and 48V, different contact alarms, by means of PIC18 microcontroller based card (PIC PLC4 V6). We can monitor and control, via internet / intranet network, many points, equipped with PIC18 microcontroller based cards. Microcontrollers can make some local decisions autonomously. One important conclusion is that microcontrollers could cooperate, like agents, to make together some decisions.
