The HotBus digital serial communication system offers customers a cost-effective approach to continuous bearing-temperature monitoring. With up to 256 bearing sensors on a single twisted pair cable, installation is easier and maintenance free. The system allows complete control with user-adjustable relative ambient and absolute trip points for each sensor. HotBus Control units can be standalone or connected to relay control units to provide automatic machine shutdown. Ethernet, Modbus, and Device Net Gateways are also available for connection to existing networks. Software is provided for system test, system status and uploading of meaningful sensor names and logging/trending bearing temperatures and alarms. The HotBus system can also accept TouchSwitch and other switched contact inputs on the same network.
