OpenNet-1000: Data Acquisition Unit

The OpenNet-1000 Data Acquisition Unit is an Embedded Internet Controller. All OpenNet products have been designed to simplify transferring sensor data and process information directly across networks, whether it is your internal computer network (LAN) or the Internet. 

The OpenNet-1000 Data Acquisition Unit leverages the true power of the Internet, which is the ability to get the right information to the right person at the right time from the right device.

Using the email server, alarms that would normally trigger a pilot light or sound a horn can instead send messages to specific individuals or an email group.

Using a web browser to obtain system information and other process data, you are assured of more efficient access to information than with other devices. We provide the tools you need to create the free flow of information between your manufacturing processes, your staff, and your business applications.

The OpenNet-1000: Data Acquisition Unit is an easy to use, cost effective, general-purpose programmable I/O device. Field connections are software configurable, as are process control and the user interface. This product has an Ethernet port for direct connectivity to computer networks. Interaction with the OpenNet-1000: Data Acquisition Unit is through XML. XML is supported by the latest versions of web browsers, databases and the OpenNet Configuration Software.

Embedded firmware dynamically generates XML documents that contain immediate data, alarm status, and trend data from the sensors and other devices monitored by the OpenNet-1000. The embedded HTTP server hosts user created web pages and serves raw XML documents for other applications.

The OpenNet-1000 Data Acquisition Unit eliminates the need to work with XML parsers, XSL, XSLT or ASP in order to visualize or post acquired data to a browser. By using XML, data from the OpenNet-1000 Data Acquisition Unit is easily integrated into any application that is XML aware.

Think of it as an simple, easy to use, XML data logger.
