Increasing automation and centralization in all industries has created a need for having a flexible and expandable monitoring system that can collect data from large number of different sensors and provide a single visualization and control platform. 

The Rugged Monitoring R501 is designed with built-in flexibility and upgradability to accommodate for the changing needs of customers. The R501 solution provides real time monitoring of fiber optic temperature and many other parameters such as, Pressure, AC Current, AC Voltage, DC Current, DC Voltage, Binary Inputs etc.

It can be used in a wide range of applications including Aviation, Automotive, Cryogenic, Battery Bank/Racks, Medical, Semiconductors, Utilities, and R&D. It's wide measuring range (-271 °C to +300 °C), high precision and complete immunity to RFI, EMI, microwave radiation, and High Voltages make it an obvious choice for temperature measurement in extreme conditions.

Range of Fiber Optic Temperature Module

The R501 system accepts different kinds of FO modules into the same 
chassis making it suitable for varying application / testing needs. 
Range of FO modules are available to fit into the R501 chassis:
 • Varying number of channels: 08, 06, 04 and 02 channels
 • GaAs FO Temperature Sensor Modules with standard resoluton
 • GaAs FO Temperature Sensor Modules with high precision
 • Built-In LED indicators for Power, Communication, and all FO Channel status
 • Dinrail mount option for distributed architecture
 • CANBUS and MODBUS support for distributed data logging

Key Features

The intuitive user interface of the software is designed to give 
quick access to the most relevant information with highest level
