DataNet Wireless Data Acquisition System


The DataNet is a professional wireless data acquisition system using the Zigbee wireless protocol. Consisting of a USB base station, DataNet acquisition units, repeater units and the DataNet PC Suite logging software. The acquisition units have 4 inputs for direct measurement of PT-100, thermocouple, voltage 4-20mA, frequency and pulse. There is also a version with the addition of built-in temperature and humidity sensors.

Data can be stored in internal memory, or streamed to a central PC running the DataNet software for recording, charting and display. Data can be displayed in tabular or chart formats or the user can display a plant mimic with data overlaid. Logged data can be exported to a spreadsheet for further analyses. The software also enables you to configure, calibrate or update the firmware of DataNet units wirelessly.

A SMS alarm message can be sent when inputs exceed preset limits. The user can also interrogate the inputs through SMS messaging. The TBox20 also has 4 relay outputs which can be activated via SMS and used to switch lamps, pumps, heaters etc

The Tbox20 is an advanced yet simplified Remote Terminal Unit. Taking advantage of the reliable, widespread GSM networks and the supported GPRS service, Tbox20 becomes a remotely accessible unit from any part of the world. Using an embedded feature rich web server interface, you can configure various parameters of Tbox20. The inputs present on Tbox20 can be used for monitoring of external devices or connecting sensors (analog/digital). Alarm conditions can be configured for monitoring of these inputs. Since Tbox20 supports SMS and SMTP protocols, the device can be configured to send SMS/Email whenever alarm conditions occur. Tbox20 also gives you the freedom to control the states of the connected outputs.

Control any GPIB Instrument over Ethernet

The GPIB-LAN controller from Audon Electronics converts any computer with a Ethernet port into a GPIB Controller or Device. In Controller mode, the GPIB-LAN controller can remotely control GPIB enabled instruments such as Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, and Spectrum Analyzers. In Device mode, the GPIB-LAN controller converts the computer into a GPIB peripheral for downloading data and screen plots from the instrument front panel. In both modes, the GPIB-LAN controller interprets high level commands received from the host computer and performs the appropriate low-level GPIB protocol handshaking.

No special drivers are required and a wide variety of host software may be used to communicate with the GPIB-LAN. The GPIB-LAN controller supports static IP address and dynamic (DHCP) IP address. The controller’s network parameters can be configured using the supplied NetFinder application

Available ex-stock from only £149.
