Method and system for selective, event-based communications
First Claim
1. A method for selective, event-based communication of machine data comprising:
- receiving, in an on-board controller, operation data associated with a component of a machine;
comparing the operation data with predetermined threshold data associated with the component;
generating an event alert if the operation data is inconsistent with the predetermined threshold data;
providing the event alert to an off-board system associated with the machine; and
identifying, based on the event alert, a predetermined response for resolving a cause associated with the event alert.

Abstract
A method for selective, event-based communication of machine data includes receiving, in an on-board controller, operation data associated with a component of a machine and comparing the operation data with predetermined threshold data associated with the component. An event alert is generated if the operation data is inconsistent with the predetermined threshold data. The method also includes collecting, in an operational monitoring system associated with the machine, the operation data associated with the component of the machine in response to the event alert. A diagnostic analysis of the operation data associated with the component is performed, the results of which may be to a user of the operational monitoring system.

16. A machine environment comprising:
-
a machine operating in the machine environment; a communication network for communicating data associated with the machine environment; a system for selective, event based communication of machine data coupled to the communication network, the system including; one or more sensing devices for collecting operation data associated with a component of the machine; an on-board controller communicatively coupled to the one or more sensing devices and configured to; receive operation data associated with the component of the machine from the one or more sensing devices; compare the operation data with predetermined threshold data associated with the component; generate an event alert if the operation data is inconsistent with the predetermined threshold data; and provide the event alert to an operational monitoring system associated with the machine, wherein the operational monitoring system is configured to; download the operation data, in response to the event alert; and perform a diagnostic analysis of the downloaded operation data associated with the component. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
