Project Implementation:
Conclusion:
The wind power generation monitoring system is a dedicated application based on Windows 2000/XP. It needed a high-
performance platform rather than a general platform for Windows CE. Equipped with an Intel Celeron 400 MHz CPU and
256/512 SDRAM, UNO-2160 is a powerful model that can handle Windows 2000/XP operating systems.
In addition to monitoring the generator’s working status, many devices had to be integrated with this wind power generation
monitoring system. The UNO-2160 provided abundant interfaces for the network integration. The customer may link the
UNO-2160 with a PLC system via its Ethernet interface. Furthermore, the PC/104 expansion interface can be equipped with a
Fieldbus Card to communicate with field equipment.

Project Introduction:
Advantech’s UNO-2160 has been successfully implemented in a 5,600 MW wind power generation
system. It monitors the status of the generator and the communication with field PLC devices and Fieldbus
equipment. Combined with customer applications, UNO-2160 is a compact, complete, and
high-performance system.
System Requirements:
Wind power generation systems are always installed in very harsh environments with dust and wind. Under
these circumstances, applying a PC with a fan as the host platform will result in fan problems and system
crashes. The customer aimed to design a reliable power generation monitoring system. But, they also
needed a compact platform that could be easily installed and replace the PC system used before.
System Description:
UNO-2160 works as a remote monitoring system that controls and checks functions of the turbine, and
stores information in a small database. In the first phase, the system was installed with Windows 2000,
which required a high performance CPU and HDD. In the second phase, the customer switched the
operating system to XP Embedded with industrial CompactFlash to increase system reliability.
UNO-2160 integrates 3rd party PLCs and Fieldbus devices through its PC/104 expansion interfaces. Thus
UNO-2160 can take care of the complete wind power generation system, and provide feedback to the
power management center through an Ethernet network.
