Novus FieldLoggers Version 1.2.2 Now Available

By DE Editors

CAS DataLoggers and Novus Automation have announced the latest software upgrade to Novus FieldLoggers. Version 1.2.2. adds improved functionality while also addressing known issues.

The new upgrade improves the export speed of all downloaded data and also in chart viewing, especially useful when processing a large amount of data which are now exported to several smaller files. Modbus-TCP communication has also been enhanced, lowering instances of communication errors. Resolved issues include fixing of certain string translations, corrections made on the Diagnostics screen, and other user-suggested changes. For example, the folder path of the downloaded data (when downloading from a folder) is now saved for future use.

The Novus FieldLogger has eight configurable analog inputs that can read thermocouples, Pt100, Pt1000, and voltage and current signals. The data logger also features two relay outputs and eight digital ports individually configurable as inputs or outputs. An A/D converter enables 24-bit measurements up to 1,000 samples per second with 0.2 percent accuracy of the span for thermocouples, and 0.15 percent of the span for other input types. Additionally, the devices compact design (164 x 117 x 70mm) makes it ideal as a portable solution. Up to 128 mathematical channels can be used to perform operations on the measured values, and as many as 32 alarm events can be detected, allowing output activations, e-mails and SNMP traps sending.

The FieldLoggers RS485 interface can operate as a Modbus RTU master or slave. As a master, it can read and log up to 64 external channels. The datalogger 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. The FieldLogger also has a USB interface enabling connection with a computer for quick configuration, monitoring and data download, and another USB port for plugging a flash driver for quick data retrieval. The 512k logging basic memory is used to store data and it can be expanded with an SD card.
