BoltSafe bolt load cells can send their data to different readout methods. For the CMS sensor (Continuous Measuring) and CMS-NC sensor (No Cable), multiple readout methods are available: The Handheld Reader, Network with PDI, Network with PDI-NT, RS-232 and Analog Converter, the IoT-node and the BLE-noe. The choice for a readout method depends on the application of the sensor, how many sensors need to be read out and to which devices the data should be sent.
Handheld reader
- Can log a live plot whilst connected to a CMS sensor
- The CMS sensor is read out directly using the cable from the sensor
- It has a display to check the live bolt load data
- The handheld reader is plug & play and directly ready to use
- Acquired data can be transferred to a computer for further analysis
Network with PDI
- The CM-1000 network box can connect 8 CMS sensors at once
- Can be linked to a maximum of 32 network boxes which means a total of 256 CMS load sensors can be read out
- Can be used to log bolt load data and send it to a PC
- Data can be read out remotely on a PC
- Optionally delivered in a portable case
- Cellular (4G) connection is optional
Network with PDI-NT
- The CM-1000 network box can connect 8 CMS sensors at once
- Can be linked to a maximum of 32 network boxes which means a total of 256 CMS load sensors can be read out
- A standalone system that works remotely
- Optional generation of analog outputs
- Optionally delivered in a portable case
- Cellular (4G) connection is optional
RS-232 and Analog Converter
- One CMS bolt load sensor can be read out at once
- It generates an analog output to connect the sensor to DAQ systems
- Has a programmable relay
- Monitoring and logging the bolt load data with PC software
- Cost effective when monitoring a maximum of 5 CMS sensors
- Can be used for setting alarms or warnings
IoT-node
- One CMS bolt load sensor can be connected at once
- Is connected to the Internet of Things through LoRaWAN
- A wireless system with its own power supply
- The IoT-node is a standalone system that works remotely
- Has a really long battery life of about 10 years
- Access data through a web-based application dashboard
BLE-node
- One CMS bolt load sensor can be connected at once
- Is connected through Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy
- A wireless system with its own power supply
- The BLE-node is a standalone system
- Has a long battery life of about 4 years
- Access data through a Windows application
