| NetBotz EIP 4-20mA
Sensor Pod Many industries,
such as manufacturing, rely on extremely
sensitive monitoring devices to
protect the quality and integrity
of their processes and environments.
The quality of the sensor readings,
and the timeliness in which information
is provided, is critical to the
operation's success. Sensors in
such environments typically output
a 4-20mA analog signal, which is
transmitted to a stand-alone monitoring
device.
NetBotz's EIP 4-20mA Sensor Pod
collects an analog signal from a
wide range of standard third-party
4-20mA sensors, and integrates the
information into the NetBotz management
system. By integrating these stand-alone
devices into the NetBotz solution,
they become accessible over the
company's IT network, and can be
viewed, monitored, and reported
on via the network.
The NetBotz EIP 4-20mA Sensor
Pod connects to either a NetBotz
500 or NetBotz 420 via USB. It is
USB bus-powered, so an external
power supply is not required. There
are four screw-terminal sensor ports
on the EIP 4-20mP Sensor Pod, to
accommodate up to four 4-20mA sensors.
For connecting three- and four-wire
sensors, there is an additional
port on the side for supplemental
loop power.
Examples of 4-20mA and 0-5V
analog sensor equipment:
- Extreme Temperature sensors
- Machine Tool Status Outputs
- Power Usage sensors
- Ground Fault Detection
- Battery Charging and Monitoring
- Operational status of fans,
motors and pumps, other equipment
and devices
- Hydrogen Sensors
- Sensors for other gases
- Detect burned out lights
- Temperature sensors
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) sensors
- Air intake temperature
- Mass air flow sensor
- Vat/Pipe Flow Regulators
