Description

This 'Breeze' ambient monitoring sensor node enables measurement of temperature, humidity and so-called 'VOC' or volatile organic compounds. Breeze features CANopen®-compatible fieldbus connectivity. That allows for connecting of many (up to 127) sensors with large separation distances using robust and reliable CAN-bus technology (spanning up to 5km at low bit-rate).

Use this device to monitor climate across the factory floor. Or to monitor temperatures in constrained areas that house power circuits. Not so much as a specific safety measure, but rather as an early warning system.

Plug & Play configuration

Plug&play operation

Out of the box, the device is configured to switch to OPERATIONAL state autonomously. The node-ID is programmed to 1 and one TPDO is configured for timer-based event trigger. This means the device can be used simply by listening to 'raw' CAN ID 0x181 to receive the periodic readings from the sensor. (Raw meaning without any CANopen stack or functionality on the receiving end.) Our out-of-the-box self-assigning node-ID feature allows to devices to learn the next free node-ID which it can use (this requires the devices to be connected one at a time to a powered network).

  • Self-assigning node-ID, starting at 1
  • Automatic switch to NMT state OPERATIONAL
  • TPDO1 (CAN-ID 0x180+$NODEID) sends temperature, humidity and VOC every second
