ONLINE Configuration of MICRO-PAM

In the ONLINE configuration, the MICRO-PAM system is operated by the Software WinControl 3 running on a Windows computer. Up to 4 MICRO HEAD/3B can be connected to a computer USB port using the PC Interface Box MONI-IB4/LAN. The standard cable length between PC Interface Box MONI-IB4/LAN and MICRO HEAD/3B is 10 m.

The PC Interface Box MONI-IB4/LAN permits integration of the Online configuration into a local area network (LAN). The Ethernet port can be located at a distance of up to 100 m away from the MONI-IB4/LAN. For special applications, the interface box also offers RS 232 communication.

ONLINE configuration. The scheme indicates the three communication options of the ONLINE Configuration: USB, RS232, and Ethernet.
PC Interface Box MONI-IB4/LAN: RS485 sockets connecting to emitter detector units MONI-HEAD/485.

STAND-ALONE Configuration of MICRO-PAM

The STAND-ALONE configuration comprises the data acquisition system MONI-DA which permits battery-powered operation of the MICRO-PAM system. The STAND-ALONE configuration includes solar panels allowing data acquisition for very long periods of time independent of line power. An optional modem sends live data to a dedicated server for download by the user.

The Four-Way Distributor MICRO-HUB connects 4 measuring heads MICRO-HEAD/3B to a single port of the MONI-DA. The maximum number of measuring heads MICRO-HEAD/3B per MONI-DA is 16. As the MONI-DA has 7 input ports, the number of 16 is achieved using 3 MICRO-HUB interfaces each connecting 4 measuring heads to the MONI-DA, and linking directly another 4 measuring heads to the MONI-DA.
