REGMIK Data Collection System

"REGMIK Data Collection System" (DCS REGMIK) software is designed for real-time data collection, storage, and visualization. Data can be transmitted via RS-485 (using ModBus RTU protocol), Ethernet, FTP network, or directly uploaded from a file or data logger device. Data storage is implemented using the Firebird 3.0 database. Data is visualized as charts, tables, or may be displayed on a mnemonic diagram of the technological process. Archiving, data export/import, report generation, alert notifications, and remote equipment control are supported.

Purpose of DCS Software:

• Data collection from various measuring devices and instruments;
• Real-time signal registration, visualization, and processing;
• Data analysis;
• User notifications about faults and emergency situations;
• Data storage, import, and export.

Main features of REGMIK Data Collection System software

• Software testing in demo mode;
• Data display on graphs and monitors;
• Mnemonic support — visualization and remote control of technological processes;
• Support for tree network structure (Network - Domain - Device);
• Remote configuration and control of devices;
• Monitoring device and sensor emergency conditions;
• Audible alarm for emergency situations in DCS software;
• Email and SMS notifications about critical situations;
• Error code localization;
• Built-in report generator (tables and charts);
• Data export and import for further processing (PDF, Excel,...);
• Device and sensor configuration via RS-485 (ModBus RTU protocol) directly from DCS REGMIK software;
• Access to data from multiple workplaces (database hosted on server, accessed from client computers);
• Data reading from devices with logger function;
• Reading memory card of new device line RP2-M in a separate thread;
• Addition of devices and sensors from other manufacturers to the network;
• Graph display customization — colors, fonts, gradients, background;
• Archiving measured data in Firebird 3.0 database;
• Database cleanup to a specified date;
• Working with database backups (automatic backup creation on schedule or manually).

The company continuously works on improving and expanding the software functionality. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions for enhancing "DCS REGMIK".
