SNMPv3 support is here!

05/19/2015 - 19:25

The SNMP v3 is now supported in all the Poseidon2 units. This is a major update that brings many advantages and improvements. The following text will explain...

Large industrial / warehouse halls require temperature monitoring on many spots. There are 2 kind of sensors you can use:

RJ11 - 1Wire UNI sensors with max distance 60 meters from the RJ11 port on the (Poseidon2) device.
RJ45 - RS-485 sensors with max distance 1000 meters, daisychain wiring structure from the RJ45 port on the Poseidon2 4002 device.
Combination of RS-485 as main bus and Spider unit + 1-Wire sensors.

This solution describes, how to monitor environment or process conditions remotely with using of Ethernet for data and alert processing. Industrial sites have usually very complex structure and high level of electric/radio jamming. Usage of wireless IoT sensors does not guarantee operation reliability, usage of full ethernet cabling and active components is not cost effective. Usage of standard industrial RS485 bus for sensor network covers most cases.

Issue description:

Temperature monitoring on industrial site, including hall environment and selected processes. There is needed to consider:

Sensor and signal transmission reliability
choice of different temperature range of each sensor
construction variability, etc.
