Digital Contacts to E-mail and SNMP in 5 easy steps.
Multenet, an established global supplier of Serial-to-Ethernet connectivity products, recently announced the release of the EtherPAD Digital I/O. In field trials and test applications, the product has exceeded expectations and Multenet anticipates a popular future for this newcomer. Sean McCree, the company’s Marketing Manager explains further:
“Digital Contacts to E-mail and SNMP in 5 truly easy steps:
- Step 1: Purchase the EtherPAD Digital I/O from your nearest distributor. See our web site for more details.
- Step 2: Connect a power supply to the EtherPAD Digital I/O. This can be 10-30V DC, or 10- 20V AC. You can also purchase a 110/220V supply from Multenet.
- Step 3: Connect the EtherPAD Digital I/O to your Ethernet network. The EtherPAD has a RJ45 connector and is 10/100 BaseT auto-sensing.
- Step 4: Wire up your digital inputs and outputs. The EtherPAD Digital I/O has four digital inputs, two digital outputs, and one analog input.
- Step 5: Configure the EtherPAD Digital I/O. A handy, easy-to-use scan utility will find the EtherPADs on your network. Use your web browser to fill in basic settings on one page. These settings include the IP address, subnet mask, E-mail server, SNMP manager, Email addresses of recipients, Tag names for the I/O, body text for the E-mail messages, and a FTP location for daily history logs.”
With no PLC programming required, no software development, and no software to install whatsoever, this must be the easiest way to monitor simple switches over E-mail and SNMP. Consider computer rooms with door sensors, temperature switches, intruder alarms, etc. This is ideal for fire protection systems, with water pressure switches, pump systems, generator systems, etc. If you have a SNMP Manager, you simply load the custom MIB, and receive traps when the status of the I/O changes.
