Thermo Scientific™ Connect Edge Adapter Kit for InstrumentConnect Remote Monitoring with OPC UA™

Description

• Connect Edge Wi-Fi/Ethernet device adapters are part of the InstrumentConnect 24/7 remote monitoring system
• Device adapters include RS485, TTL, RS232 and USB configurations to plug into your Thermo Fisher laboratory equipment
• Device adapters extract and transmit telemetry to the Connect Edge gateway via Wi-Fi or Ethernet
• Thermo Scientific™ InstrumentConnect is professional-grade remote monitoring system for monitoring laboratory equipment and other devices to help protect samples and increase asset management efficiencies
• The InstrumentConnect system utilizes Connect Edge adapters and gateways to send data to the InstrumentConnect cloud or to your own premise-based system (LIMS, BMS, SCADA) using OPC-UA™ protocol
• Connect Edge hardware is compatible with 700+ Thermo Fisher Scientific laboratory equipment makes and models
• Thermo Fisher Scientific Equipment Telemetry For cold storage equipment, InstrumentConnect collects ambient and cabinet temperature data recorded by resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) built into the unit; the remote monitoring system also reports alarms and events, as well as other system-based diagnostic data points to the InstrumentConnect application
• For CO2 incubators and environmental chambers, InstrumentConnect collects chamber temperatures, gas levels, alarms and alerts received via the incubator and environmental chamber data output connection
• System Hardware Device Adapter-Palm-size adapters collect and transmit data from lab equipment/devices to gateways using Ethernet (WAN) connectivity or Wi-Fi
• Connect Edge Gateway-Receives data from device adapters to send to InstrumentConnect (cloud) or customer-premise system/cloud via OPC-UA using Ethernet (WAN) connectivity or Wi-Fi
• System Software Choose from these available InstrumentConnect packages
• InstrumentConnect Monitor (Cloud): Monitor onboard telemetry data and events** Custom alarm settings View live device status 24/7 via Mobile and Cloud app Peace of mind with industry-leading security protocols 25GB included data storage for documents Unlimited device telemetry storage Notifications via mobile application, e-mail and desktop application InstrumentConnect Integrate (OPC-UA to Cloud or Prem): Utilize the Connect Edge system to collect and transmit data to your on-premise system or cloud using Open Platform Communications Unified Platform
• The Connect Edge gateway can be enabled as an OPC server for 10 or more devices
• Network You can connect 10 device adapters to each Connect Edge gateway
• Gateways can accommodate greater than 10 devices, however this is determined by reviewing CPU usage after you have reached this initial quantity after initial set up
• Deciding which topology is applicable to your setting will determine the number of gateways you will need
• Connect Edge system has 3 main topologies Direct Wi-Fi-Device adapters are configured to transmit data directly to your Connect Edge gateway (10 max per gateway)
• Your device adapters must be in proximity (50-150 feet) to the gateway
• Single/Dual Network-Device adapters are configured to connect to your local network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and transmit data to the Connect Edge gateway, also on the same network
• This topology is ideal if devices to be monitored are not within proximity to each other or a gateway
• Building your system Determine type (Ethernet-only/WiFi+Ethernet) and quantity of gateway(s) needed based on network topology preference
• The Configuration Planning Guide can be used for reference, if needed
• Select compatible adapter for your lab equipment Purchase an InstrumentConnect Monitor or Integrate subscription for each device Determine whether self-install or professional-install is desired (where available) System hardware and software is available for purchase in packages or a-la-carte
• A built-in gateway discount is included with all packages
• Additional savings with 3 and 5-year packages
• Installation Customer (self) installation Installation services sold separately, if desired (US, Europe, Great Britain, inquire with specialist for other regional availability)
• Availability InstrumentConnect is available in the following countries and configurations
• For the most updated list, please ask your specialist
