Abstract: The present invention includes a Computer Assisted Reset (CAR) system that allows a central operations team to remotely reset turbine faults across multiple wind turbine platforms and SCADA systems with a single interface. The system also allows automatic resets to occur. One aspect of the invention includes a Modbus to OPC Translator. The translator permits the implementation of a system where a PLC located at wind turbine control sites can accept control messages or commands organized or formatted in accordance with the Modbus protocol and sent over an Internet Protocol connection, with the translator receiving the requests through the PLC and generating an appropriate OPC (“OLE Process Control”) request. The OPC request may then be passed onto a corresponding OPC server residing in the SCADA system for each wind turbine control site.

Abstract: A method for addressing mail by initially using an identification code to address the mail item instead of a physical address. The identification code is then used to determine the physical destination address of the mail item. The foregoing is accomplished by using an identification code to initially address a mail item; using a scanner, scanning device, or scanning system to read or scan the identification code; linking or associating the identification code to a corresponding physical address by utilizing a computer system or database; and finally, using a printer, printing device, or printing system to readdress or re-label the mail item with the determined physical destination address information.
