EMBEDDED INTERNET
The OMEGA®
iSeries devices connect directly
to an Ethernet network with a standard RJ-45 connector and can send
and receive data in standard TCP/IP packets. (Please specify EI or C4EI
option.)
The iSeries devices can serve Web
pages over an Ethernet LAN or even over the Internet making it possible
to monitor and control a process through a web browser (such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer) from anywhere in the facility or anywhere in the
world.
Remote
Control
For example, using an iSeries
1/16 DIN temperature controller to control a heater, an engineer can
monitor the temperature, change set points or alarm points, turn the
heater on and off, or make other modifications from anywhere on the
local network, or anywhere on the Internet. The web pages are easily
customized and secure password protected access to the devices is easily
controlled. And it requires absolutely no special software on the engineer's
computer to view the data and "supervise" the controller--nothing other
than a Web Browser. Most remarkable is that all this can be accomplished
without a computer.
Email
and Alarm
In fact, the
iSeries controller can even send
an email to the engineer (or anyone he chooses) alerting him to an alarm
condition or updating the status. Leveraging the technology of the Internet,
the engineer could receive a message from his iSeries
controller on an Internet enabled pager or cell phone. The OMEGA®
iSeries device (meter or controller)
connects directly to the Ethernet Network-not to the serial port of
a computer functioning as a "server" and "master" to "slave" instruments
connected through serial communications. The iSeries
devices are also available with RS-232/422/485 and MODBUS serial communications.
(Specify the C24 option.) In fact, the iSeries
are the first instruments of this type which include all these serial
protocols on one device, selectable from a menu.
Internet Appliances
With the EI option, these small 1/8 DIN and 1/16 DIN instruments are
stand-alone Web Servers. The Ethernet and Web Server capability is actually
embedded in the device. (The smallest 1/32 DIN size device must be connected
to an external iServer.) The OMEGA® iSeries
device is assigned an IP address on the network and can also be assigned
an easily remembered name such as "Heater1". In fact, the device could
be assigned an authorized Internet IP address from an Internet Service
Provider and function as a World Wide Web Server delivering whatever
specific information is called for.
The iSeries
devices work well with conventional industrial automation, data acquisition
and control programs as well as Microsoft Visual Basic and Excel. OMEGA®
provides free software and demos which makes it fast and easy to get
up and running with many applications.

Features |
The
“iServer” is a DIN rail
device which can be a hub connecting up to 32 instruments to the
Ethernet and Internet. The “iServer”
is both a Web Server and an Ethernet-Serial bridge. To connect to
the iServer,
iSeries devices must
feature the “C24” Serial Communications option. The OMEGA iServer
is also compatible with the OMEGA DPi Series
family of ultra high performance digital panel meters and the OMEGA
DRX family of Signal Conditioners featured elsewhere in this handbook. |
The
iServer
is an alternate way to connect iSeries
devices to an Ethernet LAN or Internet. Instead of Connecting each iSeries
device directly to the Ethernet network, with individual IP Addresses
for each device, the iServer
can be a HUB/Server for up to 32 devices.
