web and ftp server, email and sms for alarming, and up to 2 gigabytes for datalogging of instrumentation. It enables remote monitoring of inventory levels,
process and environmental applications, and provides web access to most types
of field instrumentation, including flow, level, pressure, temperature measurement and weighing.

Simple web access

With SITRANS RD500 it is as simple
as typing an ip-address in your web
browser to access the data from
remotely installed instrumentation.
SITRANS RD500 collects and sends
sensor data to logistics systems
providing up to date, timely and
accurate information used in
decision making.
Remote access via Ethernet or Modem
(PSTN/GSM/GPRS)
Without the need for additional
software you bring data from remote
instrumentation to your desktop, no
matter where you are or where your
instruments are. SITRANS RD500 provides:
Remote conguration of SITRANS RD500
Remote viewing of instrumentation data
Remote datalogging
Remote event alarming
Reporting and messaging

Web server and web application supports

exible IO and communications options
Congurable software supports out of the
box operation, as there's no programming
or engineering required. You can connect
up to 128 conventional IO instruments
and 247 Modbus devices. SITRANS RD500
is a scalable solution to which you can add
any of the IO modules to connect more
instruments over time.
High capacity and easy-to-use Datalogger
