Wireless Solutions for Monitoring Tanks and Totes

Simplify the monitoring of remote and mobile tanks, totes, and containers using Banner’s Wireless Solutions Kit for tank monitoring and the Q45UA all-in-one tank level sensor (sold separately). The wireless solutions kit makes it easy to setup a wireless network, establish warning and alarm thresholds, and collect data from up to 16 assets. The Q45UA tank level sensor combines an ultrasonic sensor and wireless node in one compact, easy-to-deploy package.

FEATURES

• Simple Setup Saves Time & Costs: Setup your tank monitoring system in a few simple steps: plug in the box, bind the nodes through the HMI screen, install the sensors, enter tank depth, and set thresholds for warnings and alarms. Use the collected data to create more accurate forecasts and direct decisions.

• Reduce Downtime & Increase Efficiency: Access to accurate, timely data makes it easy to monitor multiple assets and reduce unplanned downtime by allowing staff and supervisors to strategically plan site visits to refill, remove, or replace tanks based on actual need, as well as staff and resource availability.

• Local & Remote Monitoring: Visualize tank levels, create alerts, store, and analyze critical data from multiple assets using the Wireless Solutions Kit for Tank Monitoring and Q45UA tank level sensors (sold separately). Or create your own solution using Banner’s Connected Data Solutions cloud software in combination with Q45UA sensors and an independent DXM wireless controller.

• Versatility: Easily monitor and collect data from multiple assets. A Q45UA sensor can move with a container or easily be redeployed on a new container. Assets can be moved, removed, and replaced without altering the wireless infrastructure. Tanks can be monitored while in place or in motion at a site.

Harting ix Industrial

HARTING is enabling miniaturization with the launch of two “Little Giants”, the ix Industrial® and M8 D-Code.  These two new products offer smaller alternatives to the RJ45 and M12 that permit the development of smaller devices.

The ix Industrial® is 70% smaller than the standard RJ45 which allows device manufacturers to use this technology in much smaller devices. The ix Industrial® features stable latching through the use of two metal hooks, and together with the new socket ensures an absolutely secure and vibration-proof connection from the cable to the circuit board.

Red Lion NT24k DHCP Server & Port Security

Red Lion NT24k® DHCP Server & Port Security: Simplify Installation, Accelerate Recovery and Secure Network

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
 

DHCP simplifies network configuration by automatically assigning IP addresses from a DHCP server to connected DHCP-capable devices (clients).

NT24k® firmware version 2.1.5 offers the following DHCP configuration options:
•    DHCP Client with IP fallback
•    DHCP Server
•    DHCP Relay Agent

DHCP Client with IP FallbackThe switch will automatically obtain an IP assignment from a DHCP Server, or optionally fallback to a default IP assignment if unable to get an IP assignment from a connected DHCP server.
 

DHCP Server Configured as a DHCP Server, the switch will respond to IP address requests from DHCP client devices with an IP address assignment. IP assignments can be set up as a dynamic range of IP addresses or with a specific IP address assignment based on the device Client ID (Option 61) or Relay Agent connection (Option 82).

Option 82 allows for a device on a specific port to receive a specific IP address assignment. As a result, devices can be replaced by maintenance personnel without the need to program an IP address in the unit, as long as it is configured as a DHCP client and connected to the same port.
 

MAC Address-Based Port SecurityWhen enabled, the NT24k’s Port Security feature provides enhanced security by restricting port access to devices that have an authorized MAC address. MAC address authorization can be learned dynamically or entered manually.

The new features are available with NT24k firmware version 2.1.5 and are available to existing NT24k customers at no additional charge by updating the firmware of their NT24k hardware.
