Enhance Your Monitoring: Over 80 Sensor Types for Comprehensive Analysis & Monitoring

The ioX eco-system of 80+ sensor types detects changes in variables (such as excessive vibration, temperature, water presence, electrical current and voltages) to employ an autonomous wireless sensing solution that protects your bottom line.

Key Features and Capabilities:

  • Variety of Models: Choose from three transducer sizes catering to different amperage needs: 0-20 Amp, 0-150 Amp, and 0-500 Amp.
  • Comprehensive Measurements: Accurately measure minimum, maximum, and average current in Amp-RMS and track current accumulation in Amp-hours.
  • High Precision: Benefit from a resolution of 0.1 - 0.3 Amp-RMS and an accuracy of ± 2% uncalibrated or ± 1% when calibrated, ensuring detailed and reliable readings.
  • Configurable Alerts: Set thresholds for critical conditions to monitor systems effectively and prevent potential issues before they escalate.

Principle of Operation:

The ioX-Connect meters utilize current transformers to detect AC RMS signals in wiring. Data such as minimum, maximum, and average readings per cycle, along with cumulative current, are digitally converted and reported at user-configurable intervals known as 'Heartbeats'. This data is then transmitted to a gateway, updating in real-time on the ioX-Connect software platform or other compatible data services. This functionality allows for precise monitoring and analysis, critical for managing complex electrical systems.

Current Monitoring in Commercial Buildings

Optimize Energy Efficiency and Safety: The ioX-Connect AC Current Meters are crucial for commercial buildings, enabling facility managers to monitor electrical loads continuously. By tracking current flow and usage, these meters help identify areas where energy consumption can be reduced, leading to significant cost savings and enhanced sustainability. Moreover, real-time monitoring aids in detecting abnormal current flows, which can prevent electrical hazards such as circuit overloads and potential fires, thereby ensuring the safety of occupants and property.

Industrial Power Management

Prevent Overload and Enhance Machine Performance: In industrial settings, maintaining optimal performance of machinery and production lines is essential. The ioX-Connect Industrial Three-Phase Current Meters are designed to monitor electrical inputs to heavy machinery, alerting operators to any deviations from normal ranges that could indicate potential overloads or inefficiencies. This capability allows for timely maintenance decisions, reduces downtime, and ensures machinery operates within safe electrical parameters, ultimately optimizing throughput and extending equipment lifespan.

Utility Management

Streamline Power Distribution and Consumption: Utility companies can leverage the advanced capabilities of the ioX-Connect meters to oversee and improve the distribution and consumption of electricity across their networks. These meters facilitate precise measurement of current loads across different sections of the grid, aiding in load balancing and preventing overloads. By providing detailed consumption data, these meters also support the implementation of more effective demand response strategies and help utilities to meet regulatory requirements for energy efficiency and reliability.

Data Center Operations

Ensure Reliability in Power Supply: Data centers require a stable and reliable power supply to maintain uptime and protect critical data. The ioX-Connect AC Current Meters play a vital role in monitoring the power used by servers, cooling systems, and other networking equipment. With features like real-time alerts and cumulative current tracking, these meters help data center managers prevent power anomalies that could lead to outages or hardware damage. Furthermore, efficient power management facilitated by these meters can significantly reduce operational costs and improve the overall energy efficiency of data centers.

FAQs

Your all-in-one wireless monitoring solution

ioX-Connect's Wireless Sensor communication can reach 1,200+ feet through 12+ walls non-line-of-sight.

You can connect up to 50 different ioX Wireless Sensors to 1 gateway. Gateways can also serve as range extenders if you have a big site where sensors will be installed more than 1,000 ft apart.

The life span of the battery is dependent on several factors, including:

  • How frequently does the sensor transmit data (Heartbeat)
  • How far the sensor is from the wireless gateway
  • The obstructions that can cause difficulty in sending data (farther distance and obstructions require that the radio operate at longer intervals to send and receive data)

ioX-Connect Sensors and Gateways provide automated data logging. Our sensors can store up to 4,000 messages if the gateway connection is lost (non-volatile flash, persists through the power cycle). For 10-minute Heartbeat settings, this accounts for approximately 22 days of messages or readings. For 2-hour Heartbeat settings, our sensors can log up to 266 days of readings.

Plus, our gateways can save up to 50,000 sensor messages if its connection is lost. Our sensors and gateways can log all this data before sending it to the ioX-Connect platform—our sensor management and monitoring software—for cloud storage, trending, and analysis.

ioX-Connect wireless products use Encrypt-RF bank-level security, featuring a 256-bit exchange to establish a globally unique key and an AES-128 CTR for all data messages. Security is maintained at all communication points from sensor to gateway, gateway to software, and back again.

ioX-Connect's standard wireless products use several features to help protect sensor data in transit. The proprietary sensor protocol uses very low transmit power and requires specialized radio equipment to operate. Typical wireless devices that run on non-proprietary communication protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee) operate using different frequency bands, so you can't use them to eavesdrop on the radio communications from the ioX-Connect family of sensors. In addition, we use a robust packet tampering evaluation routine to ensure that traffic isn't altered between the sensors and the gateways. This enables us to check for well-formed data packets that only originate from ioX-Connect enabled devices. We have algorithms that protect against spoofing and re-transmission of wireless data packets to safeguard data further.

Absolutely! This is what sets ioX-Connect apart from all other IoT solutions out there. ioX-Connect's Analytics module allows you to combine data from different sources not just sensors to create cross functional reports, analyze and trend sensor data, interact with your historical data and collaborate across departments thereby giving you more insights into your business/operations.

Yes. The ioX-Connect platform can be fed with data from external sensors provided we can retrieve the external sensor data through some service like an API. Please reach out to us at: sales@iox-connect.com for more detail on integration capabilities.
