German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks / control and monitoring
German term or phrase: Überwachungsstation (ÜS) - Control and Monitoring Stations?
part of a request for quotation -

LV-Visualisierung

Part of a configuration description for Überwachungsstationen (monitoring stations?). - This is not in a medical, but in an industrial context. I did see the medical context of "central monitoring station". Would this be appropriate for Überwachungsstation (ÜS) in an industrial sense as well? and what would be the abbreviation then (ÜS = CMS)?
The text describes the design and equipment of these stations, monitors, programs, etc.

Do you think "Control and monitoring system" = CMS would be correct here?
Beispiel:
Die Aufstellorte der Überwachungsstationen (ÜS) sind in den jeweiligen Grundrissplänen des Gewerks Starkstrom eingetragen

Thank you for your help!

Thank you Herr Gleim, and others as well - I will use the abbreviation (MS) with prior explanation. "auch wenn viele Panels beide Funktionen beherrschen" was helpful. - The text actually had some CMS further down in the job.

  -> Yes, and I entered a very relI able reference from IATE. BTW: Used for other industrial domaines, too.I know the term since 1980 as approval engineer and since 1992 as side-job translator as well.
agree  philgoddard: This seems perfectly straightforward, though I would have put 4 so it doesn't sound like there's only one possible answer.

agree  Birgit Gläser: solange nicht auch was gesteuert wird, definitiv ohne "control" :-)

  -> Ich gehe davon aus, dass es nur um Überwachung geht. Leider wissen wir nicht genau, wofür "LV" steht, aber "Visualisierung" deutet auch eher auf Anzeige, denn auf Steuerung, auch wenn viele Panels beide Funktionen beherrschen.
