NTMS4i Specifications
The NTMS4 (Network Telemetry Monitoring System with
4 ports) is a standalone (not directly connected to a PC) network
device. It operates with an IP address and a MAC address. The NTMS4
continually collects temperatures from up to four (4) diverse data
sources, each of which is assigned a unique TCP/IP network port address.
Temperatures and other kinds of data are
requested of the NTMS through the network by the Tempurity Server at
time intervals defined at the server. The current default network-side
data collection period is one minute. On the instrument or sensor side,
the NTMS collects data from each port every few seconds, depending on
the device connected. When queried, the most recently collected value is reported
back to the Tempurity Server by the NTMS.
The primary function of the NTMS network
hardware is integration. The firmware in the NTMS speaks the unique
hardware language of the scientific instrument or sensor to which it is
connected, but responds to network data requests and reports data back
through the network in a common form. The firmware in Networked
Robotics' NTMS can be upgraded through a local network for quality
and functional updates using the
Networked
Robotics Hardware Upgrade Wizard.

Networked Robotics Instrument Interfaces and Sensors
Networked Robotics' provides a variety of sensors and
direct interfaces to scientific freezers and
other instrumentation. See the Networked Robotics
"Network Data
Collection Products" page, or the
hardware documentation page for a list of our other products and
their
hardware manuals. The most commonly purchased sensor, the
Networked Robotics TPL3 digital temperature probe, is used to measure
the temperatures of freezers, refrigerators, cold boxes, incubators, and
rooms and is
described below.
TPL3
Digital Temperature Probe Specifications
The TPL3
is
Networked Robotics' proprietary digital temperature probe. The
connection indicator light allows for easy connections and
with a glance, assures your
personnel that the Tempurity System is connected properly. Digital
temperature collection means that the environment of the probe does not
affect the reading so that continual adjustments are not needed as is
often the case with analog probes.
An all new Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) encapsulating case provides excellent
chemical resistance and dielectric properties.
The probe is waterproof and is designed to collect
temperatures between -80C to 120C. the TPL3U model is optimized
for use in ultracolds and in underwater applications, while the TPL3 model
is used for
refrigerators, freezers, incubators, and rooms.
TPL3 probes can be installed 300 ft or more from
Networked Robotics' NTMS hardware, meaning that they can be installed
and distributed through your existing CAT5 cable plant.
