In the Watchdog IT Operations Monitoring System, temperature and humidity sensors are auxiliary monitoring features, although not the main focus. Watchdog still provides corresponding auxiliary monitoring.


Below is an overview of its main functions and monitoring goals:

Enhanced Functionality and Integration:
➢ Enhance the monitoring capability of temperature and humidity sensors within the data center.
➢ Integrate the operational status of all information equipment in the data center and perform correlation linkage.
➢ Provide third-party monitoring data and status as a reference for the overall maintenance solution.
➢ Achieve unified alarm handling.

Comprehensive Monitoring and Alarm Mechanism:
The Watchdog system ensures that no potential risks that may lead to system operation abnormalities are missed by comprehensively monitoring the data center. Once an anomaly is detected, the system immediately issues an alarm and initiates a pre-defined alarm mechanism, thereby enhancing overall security.

The alarm thresholds for the temperature and humidity sensor monitoring items are as follows:
Unable to obtain data.
Minimum and maximum thresholds for temperature sensors.
Minimum and maximum thresholds for humidity sensors.

System Specifications and Monitoring Goals:
➢Detection Purpose: Conduct dual and integrated monitoring to provide additional protection for the data center's temperature and humidity.
➢Monitoring Target: Temperature and humidity sensors.
➢Alarm Conditions: Reaching the minimum or maximum data value.
➢Real-time Information: Provide real-time data and alarm release status.
➢Information Collection: Cover the message, data, and time of alarm release/cancellation.
➢Emergency Handling: Including notification and execution of pre-set programs.
➢Alarm Thresholds: Set according to the system-defined alarm values.


Monitoring temperature and humidity sensors is one of the auxiliary functions integrated into the Watchdog IT Operations Monitoring System
Analog Input Modules (AI) are commonly used in data center facilities or industrial applications for monitoring temperature and humidity environments.
This equipment is particularly suitable for computer rooms, capable of monitoring the temperature and humidity of the room or cabinet to ensure a stable environment.
AI modules come in various models, including small acquisition modules, micro PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and modular PLCs, meeting different application needs.
These modules range from 8 to 128 channels or more, offering flexible configuration options.
Common communication interfaces include RS-485 and Ethernet, facilitating information transmission between modules.
In industrial applications, AI modules are typically used in conjunction with SCADA systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) to achieve efficient environmental monitoring and data management.
In Taiwan, well-known brands include Advantech, Moxa, and ICP DAS.

Quick Navigation Entrance:

Key Monitoring Items:
The Watchdog system provides rich and detailed monitoring items to ensure you can fully grasp the environmental status:
➢ Analog Input Module (AI) Temperature and Humidity Analysis: Enter specific detection points to view temperature and humidity analysis tables and set alarm values according to detection targets.
➢ Equipment Monitoring: Monitoring items include equipment name, data time, module name, and more. You can view detection status and alarm times.

Performance and Alarm Analysis:
To better manage and prevent potential risks, the Watchdog system provides comprehensive performance and alarm analysis tools:
➢ Performance Analysis Chart: Including short-term and long-term data analysis to help you understand the temperature fluctuations within a week.
➢ Alarm Analysis Chart: Long-term and short-term alarm data allow you to respond quickly to potential issues.


Additional Monitoring Functions:
Although the Analog Input Module (AI) is an auxiliary function of the Watchdog IT Operations Monitoring System,
due to the interconnection of various systems in the entire information environment,
this function is commonly applied in the environmental monitoring systems of data centers. It is an essential monitoring system for medium and large data centers,
often used to monitor the temperature and humidity of the room or cabinet.
Additionally, there are power, air conditioning, temperature, humidity, leak detection, and access control facilities,
all of which are basic constructions for the environmental monitoring of data centers, providing better security for servers and other information equipment.
However, the cost is not insignificant. Besides power and air conditioning,
sometimes only a small budget is needed to monitor key equipment effectively, such as UPS, temperature, and humidity.
