The Arctic Patrol application runs on ARM600 and provides a Web-based HMI interface. The Arctic Patrol application is used for condition monitoring and centralized management of field devices. The centralized management enables, for example, remote updating of the Arctic wireless devices’ firmware in larger batches as opposed to device-by-device. The asset management in Patrol is a feature of the ABB Arctic product line, but it also supports other ABB products that have been connected to a remote Arctic wireless device.
The available actions shown in Arctic Patrol depend on the features and devices that the Arctic wireless devices have reported. The Arctic wireless devices’ local network is scanned for supported ABB products only, if the feature has been enabled in the Arctic wireless device.
