A brand-new CAREL product is PlantWatchPRO, the new
PC-free solution ideal for compact systems where the management and control
requirements are the same as in large installations. PlantWatchPRO is aimed at
installers, system managers and OEMs.
It is a compact solution featuring a large graphic colour display with
touch screen function, internal modem, 3 relays for signalling alarms, LAN
connection. PlantWatchPRO manages up to 100 controllers connected on a serial
line. It can be connected to devices that use the Modbus or CAREL
communication protocols. PlantWatchPRO is able to send SMS and e-mail messages.
It can be also connected to PlantVisorPRO remote (CAREL system for
monitoring, management and supervision). Other
functions include: scheduler, user configuration, alarm and event management,
management of defrosts, export data (alarms, events and various reports in
Excel format) to a USB pendrive and import new instruments or customised
applications, all with simplified programming.
According to the companys press release, there is also a proximity sensor that
switches on the display and shows system data when the user approaches the
product, avoiding the need to open the plastic cover. HVAC/R is the reference
market for PlantWatchPRO, however the extreme configurability of the product
means that it can be also used for applications in different markets, for the
supervision of machinery or systems. |
