There are points within our plant that we manually log one per day. Because they are scattered through out the plant, It is very time consuming for one persone to conver all of these locations. Since we aren’t controlling these points, is there a way that we could inexpensive monitor them from one central location?
 

 

Problem:

There are points within our plant that we manually log one per day. Because they are scattered through out the plant, It is very time consuming for one persone to conver all of these locations. Since we aren’t controlling these points, is there a way that we could inexpensive monitor them from one central location?

 

Solution:              

The NCS NET concentrator System (NCS) with an Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) features an embedded web browser. So from any PC that has Internet Explorer installed, you can instanly view all process data points that are connected to the NCS. In addition, the NCS has a built-in data logger that can be used for historical archiving should the remote PC lose communication with the measurement points.
