Abstract
From an architectural point of view, a typical industrial process monitoring system consists of three main components: a data source (i.e. process controller), a data store and an intermediary communication infrastructure. The paper covers monitoring systems where communication infrastructure is based on a gateway PC. The gateway is running dedicated communication software to retrieve process data and store it into the database. An alternative approach is proposed to improve availability of the monitoring system through using direct database access and thus avoiding the gateway PC usage.
