The wiSeries DIN Rail Monitor & Controller can monitor up to eight (8) wireless sensors. The compact instrument connects directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet and features NEWPORT’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 wiDR monitor-controller can instead be connected to the USB port of a single computer with a “USB Ethernet Adapter” that are inexpensive and widely available.
MONITOR AND ALARM
The wiDR monitor-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 wiDR can monitor alarm conditions for any or all of the wireless sensors. For example, the wiDR 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 & CONTROL LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET
The new NEWPORT wiSeries wireless monitoring and control system provides local monitoring and control, along with remote Web-based monitoring of temperature from thermocouples, RTD’s, and semiconductor sensors, as well as humidity, and barometric pressure.
The wireless sensors can transmit up to 1000 meters (3280’) -- without obstructions or interference (see distances here for specific models), 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 NEWPORT wiSeries system let’s you monitor and record temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any special software--just your Web Browser.
WIRELESS SENSORS
NEWPORT 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 Adapter that operates on any voltage worldwide from 100-240 Vac.
Wireless sensors are available with external probes appropriate for an almost unlimited variety of industrial and commercial applications.

ETHERNET
The wiDR 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 as192.168.1.200) or an easy to remember name (such as "Oven 5" or "Chicago TestRoom") and the wiSeries monitor serves a Web Page with the current readings.
|
ALARM AND EMAIL
The wiDR monitor-controller 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 cell phones and PDA’s. The NEWPORT "Mail Notifier" software is a free and easy program for this application.The wiSeries operate on any AC voltage worldwide from 100 to 240 Vac and 50 to 60 Hz.The monitor-controller 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 NEWPORT wiSeries wireless sensor system is easy to install, simple to operate, and features NEWPORT’s award-winning iServer technology with an Embedded Web Server that requires no special software.
|
CHARTS AND GRAPHS
The NEWPORT wiDR monitor serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings and charts of temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. You can also log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic.
NEWPORT 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 NEWPORT 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 on the fly. For example, the chart can display one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature and humidity can be charted across the full span (-40 to 125°C, and 0 to 100% RH) or within any narrow range such as (20 to 30°C). NEWPORT offers an OPC Server software ($295) that ma
kes 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.
