7 Surprising Data Logger Capabilities
Learn What Our Monitoring Systems Can Do For Your Application
CHESTERLAND OHÂ – At CAS DataLoggers our Applications Specialists provide callers with monitoring and alarming systems to be rolled out in just about any industrial application, no matter how demanding. Get an immediate notification the moment your values go out of specification, such as when temperature starts to rise and becomes a threat to your equipment and products. With that in mind, here are 7 compelling features our data loggers can use to automate and alarm your application:
1. Make Your Own Weather Station: Our dataTaker DT8X dataloggers connect with a wide range of analog sensors including pressure transducers, GPS, flowmeters, pulse, and many more. This means that they can even serve as single-system weather stations by powering environmental monitoring sensors.
2. Receive Automated Voice Alerts: Our real-time Accsense data loggers give you a phone call the moment that your temperatures rise or fall enough to trigger an alarm. This voice alert capability gives you peace of mind that your products are under monitoring 24/7.
3. Scan Bar Codes: Our Series 3 dataTakers can simultaneously capture a scanned bar code along with 1 or more other values to determine whether a product is high-quality or defective. To streamline your QC process, you can connect a handheld barcode scanner to a dataTaker's serial port using the scanner's serial adapter. You can then configure the scanner so that whenever it scans a code, it sends a carriage return line feed to the data logger, which instantly takes a reading. This capability really highlights the dataTaker's flexibility and intelligent operation--no other product can do this without help from a PC or without requiring users to write 15 lines of code!
4. Receive Back-to-Normal Messages: We provide wireless T&D dataloggers which have a time-saving feature that triggers whenever your temperatures go back into safe ranges after an alarm. This saves you a trip to work at 3am when you don't know if your freezer just failed or is just fluctuating normally.
5. Rely on World-Renowned Ruggedness: All dataTaker loggers boast a rugged design that can even stand up to extreme environments and rough handling. To date, our dataTakers have survived falling off of moving trucks, travelling into the eye of a tornado, and they've even been on board a NASA space shuttle and on the International Space Station (ISS), monitoring experiments in the vacuum of space--you can't get more reliable than that!
6. Get Food and Pharmacy Certification: Our I-Plug-Plus temperature loggers offer certification for the food storage and pharmacy industries, helping compliance with regulatory demands. Now your data logger doubles as a compliance solution!
7. Gain Modbus Connection and PLC Capability: dataTaker DT8X loggers can send and receive data via MODBUS which allows them to aggregate data from PLCs, control systems, and even other dataTakers. They can communicate via Modbus over USB, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, and Ethernet. Additionally, the powerful alarming functions of the dataTaker DT8X series can allow them to act as simple PLCs. Meanwhile for increased quality assurance and failure detection, their digital outputs can be used to control relays, lights, buzzers, etc., providing control in a single system. This vital feature often pays for the logger by itself, preventing a disastrous loss of product or developing equipment failure that could threaten quality or halt processes entirely.
