A new generation of intelligent, high precision digital infrared thermometers (SOLOnet), said to be the world's first compact web browser enabled infrared thermometer system, offers the user great flexibility and connectivity. With SOLOnet the user can configure the thermometer system to suit the individual measurement and control requirements.
Live temperature data is displayed on a PC or computer system via the web browser, together with related measurement parameters for ease of configuration. The parameters are easily adjusted and saved using drop-down menus or text windows.
Typically, end-users will appreciate the convenience of configuring the thermometer via a standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Advanced users and OEMs will benefit from a lower-level interface with direct messaging via Ethernet or addressable RS485.
There are four different thermometer types with choice of operating wavelength, optical variants, laser alignment and measurement ranges to suit the chosen application within the operating range 200 to 1750°C. The measurement span can be selected within the thermometer range, with the minimum measurement span being 50°C. SOLOnet can be used in standalone, single point or multipoint installations with individually, remotely adjustable sub-temperature ranges, current outputs, emissivity or non-greyness compensation and end user defined alarms settings.
Choice of built-in peak picker, track and hold or averager signal processing functions ensures accurate measurement of difficult or complex processes. The optional DIN-rail mounted SOLOnet Webserver/Ethernet Interface Unit provides the user with a wide choice of configuration, interconnection, system monitoring and maintenance options.
Applications
The SOLOnet series of thermometers are suitable for a wide range of manufacturing and processing industries such as: Ferrous and non-ferrous metals, glass, minerals, ceramics, chemicals, electronics and research and development.
