wiSeries Wireless Monitoring
and Control System
The new OMEGA wiSeries wireless monitoring
and control system features meters and scanners
compatible with a large and growing number of
OMEGA® wireless sensors:
UWTC "Universal Wireless Thermocouple", Type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, and C.
UWRTD "Universal Wireless RTD"
UWTC-NB9/UWRTD-NB9 "Industrial Pt100 and Thermocouple Probes with Integral Wireless Transmitters".
The wiSeries 1/8 DIN Panel Meter & Controller can
monitor up to eight (8) wireless sensors.
The compact instrument connects directly to an
Ethernet network and the Internet and features
OMEGA’s award-winning embedded Web Server. It is
easily configured and monitored with a Web browser
over the Ethernet network or the Internet.
Alternatively, the wi-8 meter-controller can instead be
connected to the USB port of a single computer with a
"USB Ethernet Adaptor" that are inexpensive and widely available.
MONITOR AND ALARM
The wi-8 meter-controller 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 wi-8 meter can monitor alarm conditions
for any or all of the wireless sensors. For example, the
wi-8 meter can be set up to trip an alarm if any one of
the sensors indicated it was above or below a pre-set
alarm point.
MONITOR AND CONTROL LOCALLY AND
OVER THE INTERNET
The new OMEGA® wiSeries wireless monitoring and
control system provides local monitoring and control,
along with remote Web-based monitoring of
temperature from thermocouples and Pt100 RTD’s
The wireless sensors transmit up to 120 metres—without obstructions or interference)
to a wiSeries monitor-controller connected directly
to an Ethernet network and the Internet. The wireless
system complies with IEEE 802.15.4 operating at
2.4 GHz.
The OMEGA wiSeries system let’s you monitor and
record temperature over an Ethernet network or the Internet
without any special software—just your Web Browser.
WIRELESS SENSORS OMEGA offers a wide and growing selection of
wireless sensors for a variety of applications.
Depending on application, the wireless sensors are
powered by 2 "AA" batteries, a single lithium battery
(approx "AA" size), or an external AC Adaptor that
operates on any voltage worldwide from 100 to 240 Vac.
Wireless sensors are available with external probes
appropriate for an almost unlimited variety of industrial
and commercial applications.
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 “Auto Test Fixture”) and
the wiSeries meter serves a Web Page with the
current readings.
ALARM AND EMAIL
The wiSeries meter can trigger an alarm if variables go
above or below a set point that you determine. Your
alarm can be sent by email to a single user or to a
group distribution list, including text messages to
Internet enabled mobile phones and PDA’s. The OMEGA
"Mail Notifier" software is a free and easy program for
this application.
The wiSeries
meter-controllers
operate on any
AC voltage
worldwide from
100 to 240 Vac
and 50 to 60 Hz.
The metercontroller
connects directly
to an Ethernet
Network or the Internet. Unlike an RS232 or USB
device, it does not require a host computer.
EMBEDDED WEBSERVER
The OMEGA wiSeries wireless sensor system is easy
to install, simple to operate, and features OMEGA’s
award-winning iServer technology with an Embedded
Web Server that requires no special software.
CHARTS AND GRAPHS
The OMEGA 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. OMEGA offers a free and easy to use
program 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 OMEGA 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 in real-time. 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).
OMEGA offers an OPC Server software that
makes it easy to integrate the wiSeries wireless sensor
system with many popular Data Acquisition and
Automation programs offered by Omega, Wonderware,
iConics, Intellution, Rockwell Automation, and National
Instruments, among others.
PROGRAMMABLE COLOUR DISPLAY
The OMEGA wiSeries
feature OMEGA’s
patented programmable
colour displays. The
display can be
programmed to change
colour at any set point or
alarm point.
For example, the
instrument can be
programmed to display
the process value in
GREEN during warmup,
switching to AMBER
to signal the normal
operating range, and in
RED to signal an alarm
condition. The changes in colour are quickly seen from
a distance, and machine operators can intuitively react
to changing conditions. The colours can be programmed
to change back when the value drops back below the
alarm point or to "latch" on until being reset by the
operator.
The instrument can also be programmed to display
only one unchanging colour: GREEN, AMBER, or RED.
This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a
glance, process values in three separate locations, or
to display three different measurements such as
Temperature, Pressure, and Flow.
QUALITY AND TECHNOLOGY
The
innovative OMEGA® wiSeries of meters and
controllers features an extended 1 year warranty
at no extra charge.
