EIP 4-20mA Sensor Pod

Many industries, such as manufacturing, rely on extremely sensitive monitoring devices to protect the quality and integrity of their processes and environments. The quality of the sensor readings, and the timeliness in which information is provided, is critical to the operation's success. Sensors in such environments typically output a 4-20mA analog signal, which is transmitted to a stand-alone monitoring device.

NetBotz's EIP 4-20mA Sensor Pod collects an analog signal from a wide range of standard third-party 4-20mA sensors, and integrates the information into the NetBotz management system. By integrating these stand-alone devices into the NetBotz solution, they become accessible over the company's IT network, and can be viewed, monitored, and reported on via the network.

The EIP 4-20mA Sensor Pod connects to either a NetBotz 500 or NetBotz 420 via USB. It is USB bus-powered, so an external power supply is not required. There are four screw-terminal sensor ports on the EIP 4-20mP Sensor Pod, to accommodate up to four 4-20mA sensors. For connecting three- and four-wire sensors, there is an additional port on the side for supplemental loop power.
