The ioLogik E2260 provides temperature monitoring and alarm messaging for laboratories,
hospitals, and blood banks.
Project Background
Laboratories, hospitals, and blood banks refrigerate their
stocks of biochemical medicines, organic complexes,
solutions, and blood at temperatures between 2 to 8°C to
preserve quality. Constant monitoring is required to
prevent vaporization, chemical change, or contamination.
Therefore, alarm messages must notify staff immediately
if any drastic change in temperature occurs.
Application Requirements
The existing network uses Ethernet SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to gather
necessary information such as network traffic and line status. Most of the I/O signal monitoring,
such as temperature monitoring, runs on Modbus/TCP or other proprietary protocols that take time
for IT engineers to learn. As a result, a temperature monitoring system for the freezers must be
established in a short amount of time and use SNMP protocol.
Moxa Solution
The ioLogik E2260 Active Ethernet I/O server is designed for mixed I/O applications. The 6 RTD
analog inputs are able to connect to 13 types of Pt (platinum) and Ni (nickel) sensors, in addition
to 4 types of resistance measurement. The 4 embedded digital outputs are suitable for triggering a
hard alarm locally. Most of all, the I/O status can be polled by the SNMP management software
from the control center. The ioLogik also sends out SNMP traps to report the current status when
the temperature becomes too high.
Solution Benefits
The ioLogik E2260 provided the freezer temperature monitoring system with the following
benefits:
9 I/O status control and monitoring via SNMP saves development effort.
9 Automatic SNMP trap reports.
9 A controller with both RTD inputs and digital output channels
9 16-bit high resolution measurement with more than 13 types of sensor connection
9 Click&Go’s easy IF-THEN-ELSE style control logic, which eliminates the need for a PLC or
RTU
9 Compact size and cost-effectiveness
