The BoltSafe CM-3000 is a robust junction box designed to interface up to 8 BoltSafe CMS force sensors directly to a PLC, Data Acquisition System, or laptop. Using Modbus RTU protocol over an RS-485 interface, the CM-3000 offers real-time monitoring of bolt load forces, delivering critical data for structural integrity management.
Typical applications
Structural bolt load monitoring
Oil & gas installations
Wind turbine maintenance
Power plant safety checks
Manufacturing machinery integrity
Preventative maintenance programs in hazardous environments
Multi-Sensor Support
Connect up to 8 BoltSafe CMS sensors simultaneously for comprehensive monitoring of bolted joints. If you link multiple Junction Boxes together you can connect and monitor many more CMS sensors. The useabilities are endless.
Real-Time Data Access
Instant force readouts in kiloNewtons (kN) and temperature data via Modbus RTU over RS-485.
Flexible Integration
Seamlessly connect to existing PLC infrastructure, or use BoltSafe Connect App on a laptop for direct visualization.
USP's
The CM-3000 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
Junction box can be connected to a laptop or tablet via USB to analyze and store the data
PLC or DAQ integration via Modbus RTU over RS-485
ATEX/C1D2 version available
Optional: ATEX and CLASS/DIVISION CERTIFIED
Engineered for hazardous environments, the CM-3000 is optionally certified for use in ATEX Zone 2 and Class I Division 2 (Groups B, C, D, T4) applications, making it ideal for industries like oil & gas, energy, and manufacturing.
Optional: CSA (US) CERTIFIED
The certification gives Safety Compliance, Standard Adherence (CSA, UL, ANSI amd IEC standards) and is recognized and accepted in the US United States as equivalent to UL certification.
