Power distribution panel switch gear and a monitoring and control system having a distribution panel switch gear
First Claim
1. An equipment diagnostic system comprising:
- a power distribution panel switch gear arranged near a plurality of devices to be operated, said power distribution panel switch gear comprising a panel having metal and non-metal surfaces;
a communication module, arranged in the power distribution panel switch gear, for receiving and transmitting instructions to said plurality of devices using wireless communication in an evanescent mode;
a controller, arranged in a central control room, for transmitting instructions to said power distribution panel switch gear through wireless communication;
a receiver for receiving wireless communication waves, in an evanescent mode, emanting from said power distribution panel switch gear, and a diagnostic judgment device for diagnosing whether information content of the wireless communication waves received by said receiver is within an operating range acknowledged to be a normal operating range.

Abstract
A monitoring and control system is provided having a control device, arranged in a central controller room, which provides commands to power distribution panel switch gear located in the field. The switch gear transmits and receives controlling and monitoring signals through wireless communication applying an evanescent mode. The switch gear has a power circuit connected to a plurality of devices to be operated. The switch gear is a panel comprising metal and non-metal surfaces, so that a portion of wireless waves in the evanescent mode travel out of the panel. A receiver is provided for monitoring the wireless waves that travel out of the panel. The wireless signals are compared with information stored in a diagnostics database, and are diagnostically evaluated to determine whether the signals are within a known normal operating range.
