Figure 2-1 Sample xSenso Configuration
Figure 2-1 is an example of how the xSenso can send sensor data (e.g., temperature and humidity
readings), over shared networks or the internet to a PC, laptop, or a smart phone. Third party data
acquisition applications (e.g., DASYLab, LabVIEW or MATLAB) can also be interfaced with the
xSenso to read and log the sensor’s data.
Applications
The xSenso device server connects analog sensors such as those listed below to Ethernet
networks using the IP protocol family.
Temperature Gauge
Environmental Data Sensors
Gas Monitoring Devices
Sensors measuring humidity, pressure, flow, level, force, weight and gas or air quality
Sample Applications
Figure 2-2 below demonstrates three sample xSenso applications:
1. A simple process control example consists of an analog pressure sensor on the input and an
analog valve on the output.
2. Using xSenso 21A2 between the sensor and input of the controller would allow users to
extract data right over the xSenso ethernet port. In this case, the xSenso can be configured to
output the analog signals exactly as receives it on the analog input.
3. The xSenso 21A2 can actually replace the Legacy controller and control the process the exact
way it used to be done.
