Monitordelarna

Monitordelarna are a term used in Swedish-speaking technical contexts to describe the collection of components that constitute a monitoring system for electronic devices, networks, or processes. The term combines monitor with delarna ("the parts"). It is used in industries such as information technology, industrial automation, and environmental monitoring.

Overview: Monitordelarna includes hardware sensors, data acquisition hardware, processing units, storage, and software that analyzes, visualizes, and alerts. They can be housed in a single device or distributed across edge devices and back-end servers.

Components: Sensors measure parameters like temperature, humidity, voltage, current, throughput, and performance metrics. Data acquisition modules collect sensor signals and digitize them. Processing units—microcontrollers, single-board computers, or embedded processors—run firmware that preprocesses data. Communication interfaces (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular, fieldbuses) enable data transmission. Storage and databases retain historical data. Visualization and alerting software provides dashboards, alarms, and reports.

Variants and use cases: Industrial process monitoring, IT infrastructure monitoring, environmental monitoring, and asset health monitoring. Edge computing configurations perform initial analysis near the source, while central systems aggregate data for long-term trends and predictive maintenance.

Standards and security: Common protocols include SNMP, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT. Security measures cover authentication, encryption, secure updates, and sensor calibration.
