Monitoring Portfolio

The portfolio covers controllers and indicators, portable and installed data loggers, connected IoT loggers, configuration and analysis software, cloud monitoring and industrial dashboards.

Controllers and indicators

Display and control temperature, humidity, pressure, flow and other process variables.

Portable and installed loggers

Record analogue, digital and environmental measurements locally for later review.

Connected data loggers

Use Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular products for remote data access and monitoring.

Configuration and analysis software

Configure devices, download records and analyse trends from supported products.

Cloud dashboards

Visualize compatible devices and measurements online through NOVUS Cloud.

IoT monitoring devices

Connect distributed assets and environmental measurements to remote operations workflows.

Applications

Solutions

Select the monitoring system from measured variables, channel count, sample interval, local storage, alarm response, communication and reporting requirements.

Process and furnace monitoring

Combine PID control, alarms and historical records for thermal and batch processes.

Cold-chain and storage conditions

Record temperature and humidity with device placement and alarm logic matched to the storage workflow.

Utilities and environmental data

Monitor flow, pressure, temperature, humidity and electrical variables across distributed equipment.

Remote assets

Use connected loggers and gateways where local visits are costly or network availability is intermittent.

Monitor

Controllers & Indicators

Local controllers keep the primary process action close to the equipment while exposing values and status to supervisory systems.

PID and ON/OFF control

Regulate temperature, humidity, pressure or flow with control mode matched to process dynamics.

Auto-tuning and parameters

Use supported tuning functions as a starting point, then validate response under normal operating conditions.

Indication and alarms

Present the measured value and activate outputs according to configured limits and logic.

Communication

Connect supported controllers and indicators to supervisory systems through available serial or Ethernet interfaces.

Monitor

Data Loggers

Data loggers provide an independent record of process and environmental variables when continuous PLC historian coverage is unnecessary or unavailable.

FieldLogger

Acquire multiple analogue and digital channels with local storage and network connectivity for installed monitoring systems.

LogBox families

Use compact or wireless loggers for environmental, transport and distributed monitoring tasks.

Sampling and storage

Select interval, memory strategy and channel configuration from the process rate and record-retention need.

Data quality

Record sensor type, scaling and logger time settings together with the measurement data.

NOVUS acquisition examples

Selecting the appropriate data logger

Cabinet-level multichannel acquisition and distributed wireless logging serve different parts of the same monitoring architecture. Both preserve local records before data is transferred to analysis, reporting or dashboard systems.

Multichannel installed acquisition

Collect multiple analogue and digital variables in an installed system where channel context, sampling and local storage must be coordinated.

Distributed connected logging

Add local recording and Wi-Fi connectivity close to the monitored asset, with supported data and alarm paths into higher-level monitoring systems.

Monitor

Process Variables

A useful monitoring system preserves engineering units and sensor context from the field input to the dashboard.

Temperature and humidity

Monitor environments, storage areas, HVAC and thermal processes with sensors suited to the location.

Pressure and flow

Follow utility and process conditions in air, gas and liquid systems.

Analogue and digital signals

Record 4–20 mA, voltage, contact and pulse inputs from existing instruments and equipment.

Equipment state

Combine process values with run, alarm and batch status so trends can be interpreted correctly.

Monitor

Alarms

Alarm design should identify an actionable condition, a responsible user and the required response—not merely highlight every deviation.

Local alarms

Use controller or logger outputs where immediate action is required at the equipment.

Remote notifications

Send supported notifications through the connected platform for conditions that require off-site awareness.

Delay and hysteresis

Prevent nuisance alarms by matching thresholds and delays to process behaviour.

Acknowledgement and escalation

Define who receives, acknowledges and escalates each alarm class.

Monitor

Remote Monitoring

Remote access should extend visibility without weakening the local control and security architecture.

Ethernet and Wi-Fi

Connect installed and wireless loggers to local networks for data transfer and configuration.

Cellular connectivity

Reach remote sites through supported 4G gateways using controlled remote-access methods.

Local buffering

Keep records at the device during connection interruptions where product storage supports it.

Access control

Separate viewing, configuration and command privileges for remote users.

Monitor

Dashboards

Dashboards should present equipment context, current condition and trend direction with enough detail to support an operating decision.

Online visualization

Use NOVUS Cloud with compatible devices for web-based process-data visibility.

Asset hierarchy

Organize sites, equipment and channels so users can locate the relevant measurement quickly.

Trends and comparison

Compare values over time and across related equipment rather than showing isolated gauges only.

Role-based views

Present operations, maintenance and management information at the level each user needs.

Historical data

Reports & Records

Historical records should preserve timestamps, engineering units, configuration context and export format for operational review, quality records and maintenance analysis.

Historical export

Download supported device records for analysis and archiving.

Trend review

Use time plots and statistics to identify drift, recurring events and operating patterns.

Configuration evidence

Store channel settings and calibration references with the exported data.

Operational and quality reports

Build repeatable reports for maintenance, process review and customer-specific documentation requirements.

System integration

Integration

Monitoring systems can exchange data through Modbus, MQTT, SCADA or cloud interfaces while fast control and safety actions remain in the local control layer.

Modbus connectivity

Connect supported controllers, loggers and I/O modules to PLC or SCADA systems.

MQTT and IoT gateways

Publish selected data from compatible devices to cloud or enterprise platforms.

SCADA handoff

Use tags, units and alarm states that align with the supervisory system database.

Control separation

Keep fast control and safety actions local while remote systems provide visibility, analysis and coordination.
