At the same time, CSS 2 is associated with at least one CC 1 and contains data exchange units 14 with PM and CC implemented in the central node of processor 3, a data storage unit 15 operably connected to the memory device 16 and configured to intelligently compress the data volume with time while saving key data parameters.

The control computer (CC) 1 contains blocks 17 of the CPU 18 providing an interactive visualization of data through the tools of forming individually customizable widgets and mnemonic diagrams. The user can create the indicated elements of visualization independently, displaying on the screen of a personal electronic device parameters and data sets in an optimal form for perception. Also, according to one possible embodiment of the invention, at least one control computer 1 is a network element with a distributed data exchange registry, providing global access to data and data exchange between all participants in such a network.

A method based on the implementation of the described system is shown schematically in a block diagram (FIG. 2) of an algorithm for collecting, processing, storage and transmission of digital data. According to one possible implementation option, the circuit includes a data collection unit 19, at this stage, through a PM, a set of sensors and monitoring devices of the monitoring system is polled. Then, in the data processing unit 20, user filtering 21 is performed, in which the data received at the PM input is filtered by setting a range of data collection and transmission values for each measured parameter. Also, in block 20, intelligent compression 22 is performed, in which changes in the measured parameters are recorded for a given period, while controlling the sampling rate of the measuring devices depending on the change in parameter values. Further, the data signals are optimized by encryption and archiving 23. After which, data packets 24 are generated at the output of block 20.

Periodic requests / data packets sent by the programmable modem to the remote server contain data that allows to correctly identify the specified programmable modem. If there is no positive response on the DC, the algorithm proceeds to the data collection stage. After the programmable modem receives feedback about the availability of a request from the control computer (CC) on the data transmission unit, 26 data packets are transferred to the data system with their subsequent decryption 27 and visualization 28 through the user interface on the code. Also at this stage, they provide the transmission of the received data to a database (DB) 29, where they periodically perform intellectual compression 30 of the data volume, while maintaining key data parameters, for example, peak values of measured values, if necessary, the system allows you to restore optimized data.
