General Description
The Neuron VDC Digitizer is a battery-powered device that can convert an analog 0-30 VDC 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 0 V = 0 Bar and 10 V = 100 Bar, depending on the application.
The sensor offers accuracy to ±40 mV and resolution to 10 mV.
Operating principle
The Neuron VDC Digitizer reads the analog DC signal and converts it to a digital value.
Every 10 seconds the sensor measures the voltage and, if the change since the last measurement is greater than 2 V (or 200 mV depending on the version), 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 0-10 V control outputs
- 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)
- 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
- DC voltage measurements
