Kontrolog

LoRaWAN™/Sigfox and WiFi IoT PLC for remote monitoring and control, with HMI display for configuration and visualization

The Kontrolog device is a programmable controller for IoT (Internet of Things), designed for remote and real-time control and monitoring of different processes with high security and precision requirements. Adapted to your application, the device can be easily used after its assembly. It hosts electronic components such as a microcontroller (CPU) and memory, and other hardware elements such as: voltage sources, power outputs, the necessary ports to hold the sensors and the IoT communication module. The microcontroller contains the embedded software, which performs the tasks of: reading the sensors connected to its ports, creating the monitoring packets or frames, configuring and activating the communication module, sending data at intervals that can be variable depending on the programmed publication times, generating alerts and developing control tasks.

It is possible to configure locally or remotely the parameters of each sensor and the device, such as alarm levels and activation time, data publication time, among others. This can be done through the on-site HMI screen, and through a remote configuration platform.

For this purpose, customers are offered an optional license for the use of a remote monitoring and configuration platform for the device, supported by the manufacturer. The use of other user-preferred monitoring and control platforms is also supported.

There are two models of the Kontrolog device, designated by the names Kontrolog 9.3 and Kontrolog 9.2. The main difference between them is that the Kontrolog 9.3 has one output (No. 5) which is analog (4-20mA); while, for the Kontrolog 9.2, all the outputs are relay type.

The main technical characteristics of these two models of the Kontrolog device are listed below.

Five (5) sensor inputs, which can be configured as:
- - Analog input 4-20mA.
  - Analog input 0-10 V.
  - Analog temperature input for thermistor NTC 10K – 3950.
  - Digital input 1/0.
  - Input for analog ambient temperature and humidity sensor.
  - Digital pulse counter.
  - Frequency meter (Input 5 only, up to 20kHz).
Battery input 6/12 VDC, DC supply voltage is also measured.
Input for 110/220 VAC power supply, AC supply voltage is also measured.
One (1) input for current transformer to measure AC current in the ranges:
0 to 30 A | 0 to 50 A | 0 to 100 A.
One Modbus RTU (RS-485) input port that operates as a master on the network, with which up to five different external sensors can be read.
Alarms:
- - Built-in visual and audible alarms, as well as alarms visible remotely on mobile or WEB application.
  - Integration to the platform for sending external alarms by SMS, voice message, e-mail, Telegram messaging service, among others.
Five (5) control outputs:
- - For Kontrolog 9.2: 5 output relays, of which two can handle up to 12A@120VAC and three up to 3A@120VAC.
  - For Kontrolog 9.3: 4 output relays, of which two can handle up to 12A@120VAC and two up to 3A@120VAC; and a fifth 4-20 mA analog output.
    To perform control tasks, such as:
    - - Control by remote commands sent from the platform.
      - ON/OFF control with hysteresis for cooling or heating.
      - Timer.
      - Output configured as following of associated input sensor.
      - Remote alarm.
      - Event counter.
      - PID control.
HMI (Human Machine Interface); 4.3″ full color touch screen LCD for programming and data display.
Communication port, where a dual communication module with protocols for LoRaWAN™/Sigfox for the US/EU/Latam/Australia zones, or a WiFi communication module can be installed.
Kontrolog devices also have a real time clock (RTC) system and the ability to synchronize this clock through communication with the software service, so that it can store as a backup the last 140 messages sent, with a correct time stamp.
Possibility of membership for the use of a platform for remote monitoring and configuration, supported by the manufacturer.
Code updates through the serial communication port to which the HMI display is connected.
