Novus FieldLogger - Industrial Multichannel Data Logger

Industrial Multichannel Data Logger

FieldLogger is a versatile, powerful, and yet cost-effective data logger handling analogue, digital, and other types of variables with high resolution and speed. It is both high performance and easy to configure & operate.

It has 8 configurable analogue inputs that can read thermocouples, Pt100, Pt1000, voltage and current signals. It also has 2 relay outputs and 8 digital ports individually configurable as inputs or outputs.

Up to 128 mathematical channels can be used to perform operations on the measured values. Up to 32 alarm events can be detected, allowing output activations, e-mails and SNMP traps sending.

Its RS485 interface can operate as a Modbus RTU master or slave. As a master, it can read and log up to 64 external channels. It has a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface that allows for access through a browser (HTTP), FTP (client and server), e-mails sending (SMTP), SNMP and Modbus TCP.

FieldLogger has one USB interface to be connected to a computer (for configuration, monitoring and data download) and another USB port for plugging a flash driver for data retrieval. The 512k logging basic memory is used to store data and it can be greatly expanded with an SD card.

An exclusive colour HMI can be attached or remotely installed for local indication or configuration. A user-friendly configurator software can be accessed by Ethernet, USB or RS485 and also provides means for on-line monitoring, logged data downloading and exporting to spread sheets and other formats.

Remote Mounting Kit

The FieldLogger's HMI (Human-Machine Interface) can be assembled remotely to the equipment, connected to it via a cable. This kit makes this operation easy, as it supplies all parts necessary to attach the HMI to a panel, connecting it to the FieldLogger to read the data.
