ComAp (Czech Republic) is manufacturing a generator control panels. Intellicom has been involved in several remote monitoring projects where ComAp products have been used together with Netbiter solutions.

In one of the projects an energy provider wanted to keep track of their large fleet of mobile generators. They are using ComAp control panels in this project. They discovered problems with inefficiency as they didn’t have detailed and up-to date information about each ComAp generator health and geographical position. They also wanted to prevent that gensets got stolen at they often operate at locations where no staff are around to supervise it.

With the Netbiter.net (www.netbiter.net) solution they were able to monitor the position of each ComAp based generator set at any time and also get notified if the generator moved out of an expected area (geo fencing). The management of the mobile asset saved money and increased the efficiency of the ComAp genset fleet. The Netbiter unit reported not only the position but it was also constantly monitoring the health, readiness and performance of the generator.


The Netbiter webSCADA (WS200) unit supports Modbus based products (both serial and Ethernet). The Modbus interface at the Netbiter communicates with the ComAp control panels by reading and writing selected Modbus RTU data.

For the ComAp control panel used in this project there is a Device Template (can be seen as a configuration file for device used) available that has the Modbus parameters from the ComAp panel already prepared. The Device template makes configuration very simple. Just set the Modbus address of the ComAp genset and you will immediately be able to show values, write to registers, trig alarms and log parameters. You don’t have to know the actual register address, just select from a drop down box the parameter that shall be used.

The Netbiter.net is a secure online management portal that collects and stores information from remote devices in the field. A smart technology invention makes it possible to do installations over Internet and GPRS easy and fast without being an IT-expert. It also provides extended functions like monitoring, control, trending and alarm management. Netbiter.net is completely web based and becomes one central place for easy visualization and management of your equipment.

The benefits in this installation using Netbiter.net are;

• The management portal makes it possible to view the location of each device in the field on a geographical map overview.
• Wireless connectivity with GPRS using any standard SIM card (no expensive “M2M SIM cards needed).
• Possibility to store alarm history and log files for a longer period of time (compare to smaller memory in the Netbiter remote unit itself).
• Management of installation (users, projects, devices (ComAp control panels), automated backups, storing documentations etc).

Connect control panels to Ethernet based system like PLC’s, supervisory SCADA systems etc to benefit from Ethernet cabling.
