Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network monitoring technology, specifically to an intelligent monitoring system for network equipment in natural gas stations. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas supply companies typically operate using a regional organizational structure, with each region overseeing several stations. These stations are located at critical points along the natural gas pipeline network and serve as facilities for regulating, distributing, and storing natural gas, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system. Stations are generally equipped with data acquisition and network equipment. The data acquisition equipment collects parameters such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate from the natural gas pipeline network, and all the parameters monitored by the stations must be uploaded to the monitoring center platform. Therefore, the stable operation of the station network system is crucial.

[0003] Currently, in actual operation, the maintenance methods for communication links at the facility are relatively primitive, mainly relying on manual periodic inspections by personnel. This inspection method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient, making it difficult to promptly detect and address potential problems in the communication link. Once a communication link malfunctions or experiences an anomaly, it is often impossible to detect and take immediate action, thus affecting the normal operation of the facility and the stability of communication. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to improve and innovate upon the shortcomings and problems existing in the background technology, and to provide an intelligent monitoring system for network equipment in natural gas stations.

[0005] A smart monitoring system for network equipment at a natural gas station includes a station and a monitoring center platform. The station includes a PLC system, routers, and switches. The monitoring center platform actively or passively acquires the status information of the PLC system, routers, and switches at the station via the SNMP protocol.

[0006] The monitoring center platform includes an analysis and statistics module and a storage module. The storage module stores a mapping table between the IP addresses of PLC systems, routers, and switches and their corresponding site and equipment identification information. The analysis and statistics module is used to analyze the received status information of PLC systems, routers, and switches, identify PLC systems, routers, and switches with abnormal status, and generate system logs by calling the mapping table. The system logs record the abnormal information of each PLC system, router, and switch in sequence according to the site and equipment identification information.

[0007] A further solution includes a display module and an alarm execution module. The display module is used to display abnormal information of the PLC system, router and switch on the display in the form of messages.

[0008] The alarm execution module can be an alarm device. When the PLC system, router and switch of the dispatch station malfunction, the alarm device will sound an alarm to remind the dispatcher to check the messages displayed on the monitor.

[0009] A further solution includes a search module, which uses a mapping table between the IP addresses of PLC systems, routers, and switches and the identification information of the site and equipment to view the operating status, performance status, or abnormal information of each PLC system, router, and switch.

[0010] A further approach is to obtain status information, including router and / or switch IP addresses, interface status, interface input and output traffic, traffic rate, and packet loss rate, by performing SNMP queries on routers and / or switches.

[0011] A further approach is to obtain status information, including the PLC system's IP address, interface status, and alarm information, by performing SNMP queries on the PLC system.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model discloses an intelligent monitoring system for network equipment in natural gas stations. The monitoring center platform actively or passively acquires various information from the station's PLC system, routers, and switches via the SNMP protocol, thereby enabling online monitoring of abnormal or alarm information from devices such as PLC systems, routers, and switches, which helps ensure the stable operation of the station's communication links. The monitoring center platform includes a display module, allowing dispatchers to easily view the abnormal or alarm information messages from the station's PLC system, routers, and switches. The alarm execution module can remind dispatchers to check the messages in a timely manner, thus facilitating their timely attention to any abnormalities in the station's network equipment. Through the cooperation of the storage module and the search module, dispatchers can directly view the operating status, performance, and abnormal information of specific PLC systems or network devices based on the identification information of the PLC systems, routers, and switches, reducing the workload of workers.

[0016] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model provides an intelligent monitoring system for natural gas station network equipment, including a station 1 and a monitoring center platform 2. Station 1 is located at a critical position in the natural gas pipeline and is a facility used for regulating, distributing, and storing natural gas to ensure the safe and stable operation of the natural gas pipeline system. Station 1 is generally equipped with data acquisition equipment and network equipment. The data acquisition equipment is used to collect parameter information such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate of the natural gas pipeline network, and all parameter information monitored by station 1 needs to be uploaded to the monitoring center platform 2. Therefore, the stable operation of the station 1 network system is crucial.

[0019] In this embodiment, the monitoring center platform 2 actively or passively acquires the status information of the PLC system 101, router 102, and switch 103 of the site 1 via the SNMP protocol. SNMP is a standard protocol for managing and monitoring network devices, allowing network administrators to obtain the status information of network devices by sending SNMP requests. By performing SNMP queries on router 102 and switch 103, information such as the IP address, interface status, interface input / output traffic, traffic rate, and packet loss rate of router 102 and switch 103 can be obtained; by performing SNMP queries on PLC system 101, the IP address, interface status, and alarm information issued by PLC system 101 can be obtained. The monitoring center platform 2 includes at least an analysis and statistics module 201 and a storage module 204. The storage module 204 stores a mapping table between the IP addresses of PLC system 101, router 102, and switch 103 and the identification information of site 1 and the devices. The identification information of site 1 and the devices can be the names of site 1 and the devices, which can be named according to the location information or function of site 1 and the devices. The analysis and statistics module 201 is used to analyze the received information such as the interface status, input and output traffic, traffic rate and packet loss rate of the router 102 or switch 103, or the network interface status and alarm information of the PLC system 101. It identifies the PLC system 101, router 102 and switch 103 with abnormal status, and generates a system log by calling the mapping table. In the system log, the abnormal information of each site 1 is recorded in sequence according to the identification information of site 1. Each site 1 records the abnormal information of each PLC system 101, router 102 and switch 103 in sequence according to the identification information of the device.

[0020] Preferably, the monitoring center platform 2 also includes a display module 202 and an alarm execution module 203. When the analysis and statistics module 201 identifies network devices or PLC systems 101 with abnormal status, the display module 202 displays the abnormal information on the monitor in the form of a message. The alarm execution module 203 can be an alarm that emits an alarm sound, which can be a series of alarm-like sounds. When abnormalities are detected in the PLC system 101, router 102, and switch 103 of the site 1, the staff at the dispatch center can promptly view the corresponding messages based on the alarm sounds, and then promptly notify the on-site network engineer by phone, facilitating timely maintenance of the abnormal network devices by the on-site network engineer.

[0021] Preferably, the monitoring center platform 2 also includes a search module 205. Since the monitoring center platform 2 stores a mapping table between the IP addresses of the PLC system 101, router 102, and switch 103 and the identification information of the site 1 and equipment, the identification information can be the names of the site 1 and the equipment. By searching for the corresponding site 1 name and equipment name through the search module 205, the operating status of the corresponding PLC system 101 and network equipment can be obtained. The search module 205 can also obtain the corresponding network equipment that has malfunctioned based on anomaly information, allowing dispatchers to clearly see the malfunctioning network equipment or the current performance of the network equipment. Through searching, network administrators can directly view the operating status, performance status, and alarm information of specific PLC systems 101, routers 102, and switches 103, reducing the workload of workers.

[0022] In summary, this utility model discloses an intelligent monitoring system for network equipment in a natural gas station. The monitoring center platform 2 actively or passively acquires various information from the PLC system 101, router 102, and switch 103 of the station 1 via the SNMP protocol. This enables online monitoring of abnormal or alarm information from devices such as the PLC system 101, router 102, and switch 103, which helps ensure the stable operation of the communication link of the station 1. The monitoring center platform 2 includes a display module 202, which allows dispatchers to easily view the abnormal or alarm information messages from the PLC system 101, router 102, and switch 103 of the station 1. The alarm execution module 203 can remind dispatchers to check the messages in a timely manner, thus facilitating their timely attention to any abnormalities in the network equipment of the station 1. Through the cooperation of the storage module 204 and the search module 205, dispatchers can directly view the operating status, performance status, and abnormal information of specific PLC systems 101 or network devices based on the identification information of the PLC systems 101, routers 102, and switches 103, reducing the workload of workers.
