DT85 - Intelligent Data Logger with In-built Web Server
Product Description
The dataTaker DT85 is a smart data logger that provides anextensive array of features that allow it to be used across a widevariety of applications.
The Smarter Solution
The DT85 is a robust, stand alone, low power data loggerfeaturing USB memory stick support, 18 bit resolution, extensivecommunications capabilities and built-in display. The dataTakerDT85’s Dual Channel concept allows up to 32 isolated or 48common referenced analog inputs to be used in manycombinations.
With support for multiple SDI-12 sensor networks, Modbus forSCADA systems, FTP and Web interface, 12V regulated output to powersensors, the DT85 is ready to be rolled out into environmental,industrial and many other types of monitoring projects.
Versatile Measurement
Analog and digital channels, high-speed counter inputs, phaseencoder inputs and programmable serial sensor channels allow theDT85 to easily connect to most sensors and data measurementsources. Temperature, voltage, current, 4-20mA loops, resistance,bridges, strain gauges, frequency, digital, serial and calculatedmeasurements can all be scaled, logged and returned in engineeringunits or within statistical reporting. Group sampling, logging,alarm and control tasks within schedules to suit your requirements.Smart sensors, GPS, PLCs and other intelligent devices aresupported via 2 serial sensor ports (RS232 or RS422/485), with ouroptional CANgate interface available for CAN bus applications.
Manage a variety of sensors or devices using the Sensor Poweroptions via dedicated power output, digital outputs or the latchingrelay configurations.
Superior Data Storage and Communications
Store up to 5 million data points in user defined memory, log asmuch or as little as you need with independent control of schedulesize and mode. Overwrite or stop logging once allocated memory isfull. Archive data on alarm event, copy to USB memory or transfervia FTP, the choice is yours.
Communications features include RS232 with modem support, USB,Ethernet and USB memory stick ports. Connect to the DT85 locally,remotely or over the Internet. The web interface allows users toconfigure the DT85, access logged data and see current measurementsas mimics or in a list using a web browser. FTP provides data toyour office over the internet or mobile phone network, without theneed for polling or specific host software.
