General Description
The Neuron mA Digitizer is a battery-powered device that can convert an analog 4-20 mA industrial signal into a digital value. This digital value is transmitted wirelessly via a radio link.
The sensor is designed for industrial applications, where wireless transmission makes it easy to collect data from hard-to-reach locations. Battery power makes the sensor suitable for use in places without external power.
The digital output can be configured in the app, for example, so that 4 mA = 0 Bar and 20 mA = 10 Bar, depending on the application.
The sensor provides accuracy to 0.1% of full scale and resolution to 0.003 mA.
Operating principle
The Neuron mA Digitizer reads the analog DC current signal and converts it to a digital value.
Every 10 seconds the sensor measures the current and, if the change since the last measurement is greater than 2 mA, the sensor sends the data immediately. Otherwise, the data are sent every 2 minutes by default.
The sensor can be used for various industrial applications, such as:
- Digitalization of 4-20 mA control circuits
- Making analog sensor systems smart by sending data to the cloud
- Condition and distance monitoring
Features
- Integrated long-life battery - up to 10 years
- Continuous measurement and instant alarm notification
- Parameters such as measurement frequency adjustable (upon request)
- Easily set your own alarm levels via the Neuron app
- Receive notifications via push notifications, email or text message
- Easy linking with QR code for instant and error-free registration in the app (smartphone/PC/tablet)
- Sends data to the nearest Neuron Gateway, which forwards the data to the Neuron Cloud
Typical Applications
- Digitization of existing sensors
- Industrial processes
- Predictive maintenance
- 4-20 mA control circuits
