2: Introduction

Figure 2-1 Sample xSenso Configuration

Figure 2-1is an example of how the xSenso can send sensor data (e.g., temperature and humidity readings), over shared networks or the internet to a PC, laptop, or a smart phone. Third party data acquisition applications (e.g., DASYLab, LabVIEW or MATLAB) can also be interfaced with the xSenso to read and log the sensor’s data.

Applications

The xSenso device server connects analog sensors such as those listed below to Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family.

Temperature Gauge

Environmental Data Sensors

Gas Monitoring Devices

Sensors measuring humidity, pressure, flow, level, force, weight and gas or air quality

Sample Applications

Figure 2-2below demonstrates three sample xSenso applications:

1.A simple process control example consists of an analog pressure sensor on the input and an analog valve on the output.

2.Using xSenso 21A2 between the sensor and input of the controller would allow users to extract data right over the xSenso ethernet port. In this case, the xSenso can be configured to output the analog signals exactly as receives it on the analog input.

3.The xSenso 21A2 can actually replace the Legacy controller and control the process the exact way it used to be done.
