BoltSafe bolt load cells can send their data to different readout methods. For the PMS sensor (Periodic Measuring), only the handheld reader with probe can be used. For the CMS sensor (Continuous Measuring), multiple readout methods are available: The Handheld Reader, Network with PDI, Network with PDI-NT, RS-232 and Analog Converter and the IoT-node. 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
- One PMS or CMS bolt load sensor can be read out at once
- Wireless reading of the PMS sensor with a probe
- 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
