Tycon Systems® TPDIN3™ Remote Monitor and Control System

The TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 Based Remote Monitor and Control System is a versatile tool which enables the equipment designer and installer to remotely monitor their equipment and site. The unit can be accessed via the network (web and SNMP) to remotely monitor up to 4 voltages, 4 currents, 2 temperatures and control power to various equipment using 4 on-board relays.

In addition to the flexible interfaces mentioned above, the WEB3 interfaces with Tycon® MPPT solar controllers using a single serial cable to read PV Volts, PV Amps, Battery Volts, Battery Amps, Battery Temperature, Load Volts and Load Amps from the MPPT solar controller. It also allows manual turn on/off of the MPPT solar controller load output via the web interface. This makes it very easy to monitor and control a remote power system remotely, log and graph the trends, send email alerts and control relay actions based on embedded sensor or MPPT data.

Features

• Remotely measure 4 voltages, 4 currents, 2 temperatures
• Remotely control equipment with 4 relays: 2 NC and 2 NO
• Interfaces to Tycon® MPPT solar controllers via serial cable
• Automatic control of relays by volts, amps, temp, ping, time and MPPT data
• Access via Web or SNMP - Automatically send email alerts
• On-board datalogger and history graphs
• Accepts power via PoE (802.3af or Passive) or wire terminal
• Built-in surge protection to prevent damage from electrical surges
• One-click feature with programmable cycle times which can be used to turn a device off and the back on after the predetermined time
• Two of the current ports provide bi-directional current (+/-) showing the direction of flow
• One current port supports external current shunts so very large currents can be monitored
• Connections are via removable wire terminals allowing for easy troubleshooting and maintenance
• Each parameter has programmable +/- offsets to be able to perform field calibration to compensate for things such as line loss or variations in measuring equipment
• DIN rail mounting
