Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory;
a wired interface coupled to the at least one processor; and
a low power wireless network interface coupled to the at least one processor;
wherein the processor is operable to;
receive through the wired interface data conforming to a first automation protocol;
translate the data conforming to the first automation protocol to data conforming to a second automation protocol; and
transmit the data conforming to the second automation protocol through the wireless network interface.

Abstract
A wireless adapter module receives data from a monitor device through a wired interface, where the data conforms to a first protocol. The wireless adapter device translates the data to a format compatible with a supervisory control system. The data is transmitted to the supervisory control system through a wireless interface. Various protocols and translations may be used within the wireless adapter module such that a single supervisory control system may communicate with a variety of different vendor'"'"'s monitor devices.
