System and method for remotely monitoring the condition of machine
First Claim
1. A system for modifying a monitoring system of a machine, said monitoring system monitoring at least one condition of the machine, comprising:
- a diagnostic system for modifying said monitored condition to a modified condition; and
a communications system for relaying said modified condition to said monitoring system, wherein said monitoring system monitors the machine based on said modified condition.

Abstract
A system and method for monitoring various conditions of a machine which may be remotely located. The parameters available in the machine'"'"'s monitoring system are synchronized in machine and remote systems. A diagnostic system comprised of a prognostics engine or an interface reviews data stored in the remote system and determines the parameters to be monitored and the allowable tolerances, which are relayed to the machine system. The monitoring system monitors the condition of the machine based upon the diagnostic system'"'"'s directions, and the machine system reports when the parameters vary from the defined tolerances.

10. A system for modifying a monitoring system of a machine, said monitoring system monitoring at least one condition of the machine, comprising:
-
a remote data system for storing said monitored condition remotely from the machine, said monitored condition including at least one of a parameter and a tolerance;
a communication system for relaying said machine condition to said remote data system; and
a prognostics engine, said prognostics engine having at least one pre-defined condition based on a stored machine status, said prognostics engine modifying said monitored condition to said pre-defined condition when the machine has a status equal to said stored machine status, said prognostics engine storing said modified condition in said remote data system, wherein said communication system relays said modified condition to said monitoring system.

11. A system for modifying a monitoring system of a machine, said monitoring system monitoring at least one condition of the machine, comprising:
-
a remote data system for storing said monitored condition remotely from the machine, said monitored condition including at least one of a parameter and a tolerance;
a communication system for relaying said machine condition to said remote data system; and
an interface for allowing an owner to modify said monitored condition stored in said remote data system, said interface comprised of an interactive website and an Internet connection, said modified condition being stored in said remote data system for relay to said monitoring system of the machine.

12. A method for modifying a monitoring system of a machine, said monitoring system monitoring at least one condition of the machine, comprising the steps of:
-
storing said monitored condition in a remote data system;
modifying said monitored condition to a modified condition; and
relaying said modified condition to said monitoring system wherein said monitoring system monitors the machine based on said modified condition. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
