Channel Combiner Monitor
The Channel Combiner Monitor is designed as replacement/successor for the Kathrein 791 111. The Control Units are fully backward compatible, but are equipped with two adjustable signal thresholds instead of only one. The number of measuring channels has been increased from six up to a total of fourteen per device. One of the seven Control Unit slots can be equipped with an Interface Unit, which connects the dry signal contacts of the remaining Control Unit slots with a socket at the front panel. Integration into a SNMP-based Monitoring System is achievable by using a SNMP GPIO device like the 2wcom NC06.
As it is possible to monitor voltages from 0 V to 10 V according to DIN IEC 60381-2 with slightly modified Control Units, the usage of this monitoring system is not limited to channel combiners.
