The monitor is called logic monitor.
Don't know anything about the generators except the first time our power went down they didn't fire up AND the battery backups only lasted for 10 minutes. And they had to go manually restart several routers.

Built a 4th Dimension database for a local company PSI, Power Systems International. They sold and handled all the logistics of transporting and installng all kinds of new and used generators. The really huge onse were coal powered. That was very interesting. The database tracked all the different new and used generators available and the requests. And produced their quots as well. They only needed to sell one generator a year to pay all their salaries.

The coolest I ever saw was at the American Airlines logistics center. The entire building was powered by 2 big generators that ran off the power grid using big eletric motors. When anything happened to the power coming in they immediately switched over the what looked to me like big diesel engines. There was a huge flywheel on each generator so the power would change as it switched. They text it every day. I got to watch one day and it was very startling to stand there and see and hear those big motors go from stone cold to running at 3000 rpm in like one second. They were really serious about their power. Oh, and there were two incase something happened to one of them.
