Monitor Systems computerised Anchor Windlass Monitoring System (AWS M2000) facilitates and adds real value to operator control. Using a uniquely simplified menu structure, the system provides increased accuracy and totally reliable measurement of anchor winch parameters with both central control room and local windlass monitoring displays. Speed and distance are measured through proximity sensors whilst tension is determined by sub-sea rated load cells or pins. Using stainless steel wall mounted cabinets, data is gathered using PLC DAQ, Profibus DP or fibre optic high-speed networks and shown in graphical and tabular formats. This flexible system can also be expanded to include other control functions required by the client.
Case Study
Anchor Windlass Monitoring System
Overview: The Anchor Winch Monitoring System installed onboard Dolphin Byford by Monitor Systems is designed to monitor anchor tension, chain length, payout speed and motor current in addition to providing control outputs for overspeed on all twelve winches holding the rig. Utilising a fibre optic network for communicating between winches and the control room, the system uses a Siemens PLC with remote HMI's in each windlass cab and two IPC's in the control room and pilot-house.
Two 300 tonnes load pins on the Brattvagg windlasses and hydraulic load cells with pressure transducers on the National windlasses measure anchor tension. Chain length and speed is verified by proximity sensors picking up targets on the main gypsy wheel.The system graphically displays tensions, speeds and chain lengths as well as providing trending of anchor tensions and built in alarm functions via colour touch screens in all winch cabs and the main control room. It also allows viewing of data from all winches at any station. Customer: Dolphin Drilling.
My rooftop anemometer and receding storm clouds at sunset. Widespread monsoon thunderstorms have been rumbling all across Arizona for the last several days, dumping significant rainfall and causing serious flash floods in some places. Unfortunately and all too typically, the rain continues to completely avoid my dusty rain gauge, where only a few sprinkles have fallen so far. Nonetheless, the monsoon skies do make for some great sunset photo ops - Weather Station ZD1, Phoenix, Arizona

We had custom joinery made to house 8 bats, 20 ping pong balls and a new touch screen TV for scoring.
Technology is great because when left in an abandonment it's easy to tell how long it's been untouched. This factory/corporate headquarters closed at the end of the 1980's and they just stacked up monitors when they locked the doors.
My double Sight DS-265w screens started flickering. Seemed like a frequency issue. So, I suspected bad capacitors.
MONITOR-DISIDENTE
Despierta sin avisar, si es real o es ficción
historias que inventar, es un mono o eres tu
todo se ve muy bien desde ahí, nada sale mal
todo se ve muy bien desde ahí.
Monitor, Monitor
Cambiando sin transformar, lo que existe no eres tu
el cuarto empieza a rodar, es la antena o el control
todo se ve muy bien desde ahí, nada sale mal
todo se ve muy bien desde ahí.

The Lace Monitor, or Lace Goanna, Varanus varius, is a member of the monitor lizard family, Australian members of which are commonly known as goannas. It belongs to the subgenus Varanus.
Lace monitors are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the Perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 metres (over 6 ft 10ins) with a head and body length of up to 76.5 cm (2½ ft). The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body. Maximum weight of lace monitor can be 20 kg.(44 lb), but most adults are much smaller.
These common terrestrial and often arboreal monitors are found in eastern Australia and range from Cape Bedford on Cape York Peninsula to south-eastern South Australia. They frequent both open and closed forests and forage over long distances (up to 3 km a day).
They are mainly active from September to May, but are inactive in cooler weather and shelter in a tree hollow or under a fallen tree or large rock.
The females lay from 4 to 14 eggs in spring or summer in termite nests. They frequently attack the large composting nests of Scrub Turkeys to steal their eggs, and often show injuries on their tails inflicted by male scrub turkeys pecking at them to drive them away.
Their diet typically consists of insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds and birds' eggs. They are also carrion eaters, feeding on already dead carcasses of other wildlife. Lace monitors will also forage in areas inhabited by people, raiding chicken coops for poultry and eggs, rummaging through unprotected domestic garbage bags, and trash cans in picnic and recreational areas.
Like all Australian goannas, they were a favourite traditional food of Australian Aboriginal peoples and their fat was particularly valued as a medicine and for use in ceremonies
Lace monitors are found in two broad forms. The main form is dark grey to dull blueish black with numerous scattered cream spots. The snout is marked with prominent black and yellow bands extending under the chin and neck. The tail has narrow black and cream bands which are narrow and get wider towards the end of the tail.
The other type, known as 'Bells Form', is typically found in dryer parts of NSW and Queensland. It has broad black and yellow bands across the body and tail. Close up these bands are made up of various spotted patterns.

PhotographerÕs Mate Petty Officer Second Class (DV) Eric Lippmann, of Decatur, MI, an underwater photographer assigned to CINCLANTFLT Det Combat Camera Atlantic, Norfolk, VA., is lowered to the wreck site of the USS Monitor to photographically document salvage operations with a NIKONOS-V underwater camera. The divers are working from the Derrick Barge WOTAN, the main support vessel for Phase II of the Monitor 2001 expedition, the sixth NOAA-Navy expedition to preserve the historic vessel. The ship went down off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC, in 1862 during a severe storm.

U.S. Navy divers descend to the wreck site of the U.S.S. Monitor to try and salvage the main engine and other artifacts. The divers are working closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) in a joint venture to salvage the main engine from the wreck to be preserved and later displayed at the MarinerÕs museum in Newport News, VA. The Derrick Barge WOTAN, is serving as the main support vessel for Phase II of the Monitor 2001 expedition, the sixth NOAA-Navy expedition to preserve the historic vessel.

A water monitor leaves the water and goes off into an open drain leading into the water (eeeew!). Look at the amount of human generated junk the poor animal has to contend with! This pic was taken from the boat during our ride into the mangroves at Balapitiya near Galle. (Balapitiya, Sri Lanka, June 2011).
Monitor rail allows for limitless horizontal adjustment of multiple monitors above the work surface.
♫Nos hablamos pero no
Sabemos ,si será
Volcados en la ilusión
Me voy en un segundo
Hoy necesito estar sentado desde aquí
Y los dos llegamos tarde para decirnos que ...
Y aunque eres invisible veo a través de ti
Y siendo intocable yo te siento en mis sueños
Y me lamento por no estar allá
Y hoy te miento para estar solos
Tú y yo
Y la distancia le ganó al amor
Sólo te veo en el monitor
Esperando respuesta veo que hoy
Tu ausencia llega nada mas
Las cosas deben de seguir
Y no sabemos si será...
The smallest one I've seen and I've seen plenty whilst in South East Asia.
This little chap was a bit jumpy and lived under the drain near our pool in Lombok. I used my 70-200 with a TC whilst waiting in the pool with my camera resting on the edge. Eventually he came out again!

I'm still kicking myself that i didn't go back to rescue this monitor from that skip. I bet it still worked - and i could've done with a spare monitor...
