Example of an online monitoring system of Comet Ethernet sensors
| MODES OF COMMUNICATION | |
|---|---|
| Modbus TCP: | Modbus TCP protocol enables to read measured values, set alarm limits, adjust the probe. |
| Telnet: | Port 9999 enables to set alarm limits (lower, upper limits, hysteresis for temperature and time delay), e-mail addresses, SNMP addresses, probe description, refresh of www pages (10s to 65535s), set storing interval to history (10s to 65535s), enable each communication channel. Capacity of the history memory is 600 values. Password protection of this port is enabled. Automatic IP address assignment from DHCP server is also enabled. |
| WWW pages: |
User selectable design of www pages enabling to display curve of measurement history. User can design the look of www pages and temperature history.

| SNMP: | It is possible to read actual values and alarm limits. In case of alarm creation warning message (trap) is sent to addresses defined by the user (maximum three addresses). |
| SOAP: | Online transmitter enables to send actual measured data in the format of SOAP message to selected web server in preset interval 10-65535 s. In case message is not received by the server till next message is sent, warning trap 1/2 is sent. |
There are the following options of alarm indication:
| ALARM INDICATION OPTIONS | |
|---|---|
| E-mail: | In case of alarm creation warning e-mail message is sent to addresses defined by the user (maximum three addresses) or via e-mail to SMS message. |
| SNMP: | In case of exceeding of adjusted temperature limits alarm is activated and warning trap is sent to user specified IP addresses (maximum 3 addresses). |
| WWW pages: | In case of exceeding of adjusted temperature limits active alarm is displayed on www page. |
| syslog: | Online thermometer enables to send text messages to selected syslog server after different events appear. E.g. after thermometer restart, alarm activation, communication error with SNTP, write to thermometer via mdb, sntp, after firmware change, after alarm termination, after communication error with SOAP server. |

Included accessory:
Traceable calibration certificate from the manufacturer, instruction manual.
Calibration certificate with declared metrological traceability of etalons is based on requirements of EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
Example of calibration certificate.
Free program TSensor for configuring of the transmitter is ready to download.
Free program SensorReader for logging values from one thermometer to a PC disk file is ready to download. Program enables to alarm acoustically the PC user if adjusted alarm limits are exceeded. Recorded values in CSV format are easy to process in e.g. Excel. Program can be started several times on a computer at the same time to monitor values from several transmitters.
For acquiring values from several transmitters, third party software is necessary to use. Tested functionality is with programs:
LabVIEW from National Instruments, by means of the free Modbus Library for LabVIEW.
For viewing of actual values and graphs following examples of application were created in LabVIEW 8.5 :
P851x-Ethernet.vi for single channel thermometers P8510, P8511
P8541-Ethernet.vi for quad channel thermometers P8541
TIRS.NET - transmitters are also directly supported by program TIRS.NET from Coral s.r.o. company. Please download demo enabling full work with transmitters.
Tested functionality is also with programs:
ControlWeb,
EasyView.
For record of values to graphs via web interface, project Cacti
www.cacti.net
is available.
