INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM The RW14 remote control service can be accessed via web from a PC or portable device, by entering the address http://www.rw14.it in the search bar of your browser. From here you can view and configure the installed RW14 devices.
HANDLING OF CUSTOMERS - USERS Page for entering new users (creation of new accounts) After entering his username and password (provided by STEIEL), the installer will access the personal area of the web site, and, therefore, the management of his customers and devices.
HANDLING OF USERS - DEVICES In this section, the technician can assign one or more RW14 devices, previously created. This allows to choose how many and which devices will be displayed for the “Technicians”/”Viewers” who log in to the site, in order to keep well separated the various installations.
DEVICE LIST This is the main page where a logged user can interact with the devices. The screen is divided into three parts: Table of the devices: each device visible by the user is listed in the table that shows the device name and the date of the last relevant information sent to the server, and allows to understand the status of the device through the color dot in the first column.

This action can be performed by any user logged in. Data Visualization - TABLE Through this page you can access the data acquired by a device, previously recorded by RW14 and sent to the server. Through the left column you can set some criteria for the data search: “Interface”: data can be displayed only if an interface is indicated...
Data Visualization - DIAGRAM As for the table, even the data shown in the diagram can be filtered by criteria available on the left side of the page. As the table shows all the data sampled by the device (30 sec.), the diagram shows only the data sampled at the frequency set in the interface configuration page.
Data Visualization - ALARMS Similarly to the other two types of data, the alarms are requested to the server by applying the filter criteria specified on the left side of the page. Alarms are displayed in a table that specifies the channel name, interface, device date and time, and a short description.
CONFIGURATION OF CHANNELS As for the interface configuration, this page is available only if a device has been selected from the list and if the user is not a simple viewer type. This page allows the user to set some parameters for the acquired channels (note: each instrument must have at least one channel) and displays a table for each interface previously selected.
This area CANNOT be accessed by a “Viewer” type user. RW14 is provided with an RS232 serial interface for the connection to the measurement instruments selected from the drop-down menu in the table.
