Entry-level system to monitor control centres
RITTAL as released an entry-level system for monitoring ambient temperature, humidity and smoke in industrial technology installations.
While monitoring and maintaining the plant floor is often given priority, it is also important to pay attention to the control sections of the factory, which house the technological solutions driving productivity.
The Basic CMC combines processing unit and input/output in a single enclosure. Up to four sensors can be connected out of a range of 17 different sensors or actuator types.
The unit has a network interface and its controls can be accessed through a web browser. Data registered by the sensors can be forwarded to a remote console, which then triggers an alarm if preset thresholds are exceeded.
The device is installed via plug-and-play, eliminating the need for complicated programming and wiring.
