Industrial Temperature Loggers Connect PLCs & Equipment

CAS Dataloggers Offers Value-Added Services

Do you need to monitor the temperature of industrial equipment or an industrial process? At CAS DataLoggers, we sell hundreds of temperature monitoring devices and systems each year. Our industrial temperature data loggers are ideal for a wide variety of applications including, equipment or process monitoring, oven temperature profiling, and more. We’ve put together this quick guide exploring some of our industrial data loggers, that replace the need for manual measurements and help you reduce costs and optimize production.

Data Logger Types

Broadly speaking, our temperature data loggers for any industry can be divided into 2 categories:

  • Single-input data loggers are designed to measure one specific parameter such as temperature. These loggers are typically available with 1 to 8 channels and are ideal for smaller applications where cost is a concern.
  • Universal input data loggers are available in configurations with up to hundreds of input channels used to measure multiple signal types and are used to record data from multiple sensors like temperature, pressure, RPM, and many more.

Our rugged and reliable, intelligent data loggers offer a host of features for configuration, communications, data capture, and data analysis. For example, many data loggers have communications ports such as Modbus that allow them to be easily interfaced with other equipment such as PLCs, HMIs, or other intelligent sensors.

Find the Perfect Product

Our data loggers are ideal for industrial temperature monitoring in many applications including process monitoring, temperature profiling, fault identification, process documentation, R&D, and more. At CAS DataLoggers, our Applications Specialists know the right questions to ask to determine the ideal temperature monitoring system for your application. These include:

  • How often do you need to take a sample?
  • How much data do you need to store?
  • Do you require a real-time display?
  • Do you need an alarm either locally or remotely?
  • How do you want to connect to view or retrieve the data?

We also understand that cost is important so we offer you competitive pricing along with the added value that goes beyond just price. Here are a few manufacturers producing popular industrial temperature monitoring solutions:

dataTaker

dataTaker systems are sophisticated and versatile data loggers with the ability to connect to almost any sensor input. They also offer powerful alarm and programming capabilities allowing them to process measurements and initiate actions on their own.
For example, the dataTaker DT80 is an intelligent data logger with an extensive array of features allowing it to be used across many different applications. The dataTaker DT80 allows up to 10 isolated or 15 common ground analog inputs to be used in many combinations.

 

Novus FieldLogger

CAS also offers the Novus FieldLogger, a versatile and cost-effective industrial data logger that records analog and digital signals at high resolution and speed. With Novus, users can also create a customized system using Modbus expansion modules and wireless communication accessories. Easy to configure and operate, the FieldLogger has 8 configurable analog inputs that can read thermocouples, RTDs, voltage, and current signals. This logger also has 2 relay outputs and 8 digital ports individually configurable as inputs or outputs. The RS485 interface can operate as a Modbus RTU master or slave.

TandD

The  T&D RTR500B Series of Wireless data loggers use small battery-powered transmitters that come in a variety of models for temperature, humidity, voltage, etc. along with base stations available in Ethernet, WiFi, USB, and cellular versions that communicate using proprietary 900 MHz wireless signal. They can automatically send live data, recorded data, and alarms for remote data collection. These data loggers will also send you a ‘back to normal’ alarm as soon as temperatures go back to safe levels. This allows you to manage your important temperature data anytime from anywhere—even from your mobile device.

For example, data can be sent from an RTR-502B temperature data logger via the built-in wireless communication to a T&D RTR-500BW Wireless Base Station. The wireless communication range between a Remote Unit and a Base Unit is up to 500 ft. (150 meters). You can easily expand the wireless communication range by using an RTR-500BC as a Repeater.

For other applications, T&D also offers a range of 2-channel temperature data loggers, the TR-7A family with WiFi and Bluetooth and the TR-7NW family with Ethernet and Bluetooth. The units are ideal for monitoring coolers, refrigerators, and freezers.

All of these devices are compatible with T&D’s free WebStorage Service which provides the perfect way to monitor current readings and view your recorded data via the Internet. This free cloud service is ideal for processing and managing data recorded in remote places or for allowing several people to view the same recorded data at their convenience. Data transmitted to T&D WebStorage Service can be accessed via your browser from anywhere, anytime. The Service also provides alarm notifications either via email or push notifications through the T&D Thermo app (TR7 only).
