Marlink Blind Sector Platform
The Marlink Blind Sector Platform is a monitoring platform for iDirect Platform Virtual elements.
About
This connector retrieves all elements using the iDirect Platform Virtual protocol and monitors a set of coordinate parameters present on these elements.
Via element connections, the GPS coordinates of all remotes are shared between the "iDirect Platform" elements and the "Marlink Blind Sector Platform" element.
Each time a parameter changes, the element will query a web service to check whether it is currently in a blind sector.
