1.3 Description
The wi
®
Series wireless monitoring and control system features meters compatible
with a large and growing number of wireless sensors: UWTC “Universal
Wireless Thermocouple” Type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, and C and UWRTD
“Universal Wireless RTD”. For more information about the UWTC and UWRTD,
refer to the separate manual for these products. The wiSeries 1/8 DIN Panel
Meter & Controller can monitor up to eight (8) wireless sensors.
The Meter connects directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet and features
award-winning embedded Web Server. It is easily configured and monitored with
a Web browser over the Ethernet network or the Internet.
MONITOR AND ALARM: The Meter comes standard with a choice of either two
Form C relays, or two SSR’s (solid state relays) that can be used for control
functions or alarms. The meter can monitor alarm conditions for any or all of the
wireless sensors. For example, the meter can be set up to trip an alarm if any one
of the sensors indicated that it was above or below a pre-set alarm point.
MONITOR & CONTROL LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET: The wiSeries
wireless monitoring and control system provides local monitoring and control, along
with remote Web-based monitoring of temperature from thermocouples and RTD’s.
The wireless sensors transmit up to four hundred feet 400’ (approx. 120 meters--
without obstructions or interference) to a wiSeries meter connected directly to an
Ethernet network and the Internet. The wireless system complies with IEEE
802.15.4 operating at 2.4 GHz.
The wiSeries system let’s you monitor and record temperature over an Ethernet
network or the Internet without any special software--just your Web Browser.
ETHERNET: The wiSeries meter-controller-scanner is an independent node on
the network sending and receiving data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily
configured from a Web Browser and can be password protected. From within an
Ethernet LAN or over the Internet, the user simply types the IP address (such as
192.168.1.200) or an easy to remember name (such as "Oven 5" or "Test Fixture")
and the wiSeries meter serves a Web Page with the current readings.
EMAIL ALARM: The wiSeries meter can trigger an alarm if variables go above or
below a Setpoint that you determine. Your alarm can be sent by email to a single
user or to a group distribution list, including text messages to cell phones and
PDA’s. The "Mail Notifier" software is a free and easy program for this application.
CHARTS AND GRAPHS: The wiSeries system serves Active Web Pages to
display real time readings and charts of temperature. You can also log data in
standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such
as Excel or Visual Basic. We offer a free and easy to use program iLog for logging
data to Excel.
The virtual chart viewed on the web page is a JAVA™ Applet that records a chart
over the LAN or Internet in real time. With the wiSeries system there is no need to
invest time and money learning a proprietary software program to log or chart the
data. Chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For example, the chart can
display one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or one year.
Temperature can be charted across the full span or within any narrow range such
as (20 to 30°C).
