Implementation of Remote Monitoring System Based on SNMP Protocol and Virtual Instrument for Shipborned Equipments in TT&C

Condition of TT&C equipment is very complex, and there are many state parameters. It is a significant issue to be solved in limited bandwidth. SNMP has been successfully applied to monitor equipment condition in many industrial fields, but has not been applied to monitor TT&C equipments at present. Using virtual instrument as software development platform, a method based on SNMP protocol is presented for Remote Monitoring System of TT&C equipment. Then the system is verified. It was concluded that parameters and status of TT&C equipment could be retrieved using SNMP protocol no matter which communication method the equipment supports.
