microSpider2 Industrial
The microSpider2 Industrial is a robust, DIN-rail-mounted telemetry and data logging system designed for integration into industrial control panels and infrastructure. With versatile sensor compatibility, low-power operation, and flexible communication options, it delivers reliable data collection, reporting, and alarm notifications to keep critical operations running smoothly.
Key Features
Broad Sensor Compatibility
Analogue and digital inputs are native. SDI-12 and Modbus RTU come via the optional DIN-rail Intelligent Interface, a separate module mounted beside the logger - it consumes none of the native inputs. This is not the same part as the in-line interface used by the microSpider2 Environmental, and the two are not interchangeable.
Compact DIN-Rail Design
DIN-rail mountable enclosure for easy integration into control panels and industrial cabinets.
Low Power Operation
A built-in charger regulator lets you pair a 12V solar panel with an external SLA battery, with no separate charge controller. Designed for minimal power draw at remote and off-grid sites.
Customisable Data Reporting
Generate CSV reports at user-defined intervals and deliver via HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, or email. An optional DNP3 software licence adds SCADA integration.
Edge Computing
Leverage virtual channels to create calculated values such as compensated flows, totals, or status logic without external processing.
Field-Replaceable Modem Module
The modem is a removable module the customer can replace on site - a module swap plus firmware, with no rewiring and no return to base. Network changes and modem faults are handled in the field.
How It Works
Deploy & Install
Mount the microSpider2 Industrial onto a DIN rail inside your control cabinet or enclosure. Connect your sensors, meters, or industrial equipment inputs.
Connect & Configure
Use the built-in Ethernet port and a standard LAN cable to access the built-in web interface. Configure input types, sensor calibration, communication settings, and alarm triggers.
Monitor & Report
Collect data from connected sensors at scheduled intervals or in response to events. Log readings in onboard memory and send reports to remote servers or SCADA systems.
Analyse & Respond
Use alarms via SMS, email, or DNP3 (optional software licence) to respond quickly to operational issues or performance changes.
Applications
Pair a 12V solar panel with an external SLA battery using the built-in charger regulator - no separate charge controller - for sites with no mains power.
Monitor pumps, motors, tanks, and process equipment with configurable alarms and reporting from inside the control cabinet.
DIN-rail integration into control panels and infrastructure for utility sub-metering, building services, and automated reporting.
Simplify Your Industrial Monitoring
No complicated setups or unreliable readings. microSpider2 Industrial offers a DIN-rail mount solution designed for accuracy and reliability.
