New Gateway provides users with more
flexibility for collecting sensor data
This latest addition to the Aurora High
Resolution Temperature Monitoring and Alerting System advances proactive
environmental monitoring within data centers and other critical spaces. Users
now have access to a gateway device with MODBUS TCP interfaces and four SNMP
poll and trap interfaces for those that would like to use the Ethernet Gateway for
local data collection.
“As
our customers continue to find success with Aurora, NER continues to expand the
capabilities, broaden
support and offer the highest levels of customization for this innovative
product line,” said Robert Huttemann, Vice President at NER. “What impresses
customers the most is the invaluable data, trending and alerting benefits come
in an unbelievably easy to deploy solution.
The Ethernet gateway is no exception, simply plug this device into any open network port with
internet connection and it automatically connects to the Aurora server.”
The Ethernet Gateway buffers
up to 16,000 sensor data messages in on-board memory in the event of an
internet connection interruption. When internet communication is re-established
the sensor data will download to the Aurora system.
The Aurora High Resolution Temperature
Sensing System revolutionizes how facilities view temperature. Central to the
system is a strip that has eight sensors spaced vertically eight inches apart
that collect temperature readings at eight different height levels. The
readings are visually displayed on the strip through high resolution LEDs that
range from cool (blue) to hot (red) and a blend of 129 colors in between. Data
from these readings are sent to the Management System through a gateway for
trending and alerting purposes.
Huttemann
further adds, “Data Centers are dynamic environments with temperature being a
critical aspect, so Aurora’s instantaneous and accurate representation is
invaluable when monitoring changes or validating best-practice improvements. Whether
you are looking down the aisle, viewing the user interface, receiving automated
alerts, or collecting trending data, with Aurora potential issues in critical
spaces will not go unnoticed.”
