The Hirschmann microprocessor-controlled Rack Monitoring System monitors your rack system using a range of sensors. Ambient temperature, atmospheric humidity and fluctuation in main voltage can all be measured on site. Digital inputs for door contacts, vibration sensors and smoke alarm complete the range of options offered by the RMS system.
The system has the capability for continuously monitoring ambient conditions and operational status in the rack, evaluating statistical information and adjusting parameters. Link-ups between input and output parameters are possible using a flexible, programmable filter system.
The rack monitoring system can also inform users about events in the rack. Signals are transmitted over the LC display and buzzer, through a serial interface or over the network. Digital outputs are also available for regulating fans or heaters.
Key Benefits
- Wide range of connectors for sensors and external equipment integrated in the unit, including all necessary power supplies.
- The following interfaces are available on each unit: 4 × temperature, 4 × humidity, 4 × alarm line (for example, smoke), 8 × digital inputs (for example, door contact), 3 × main voltage, 2 × digital inputs for UPS, and 2 × serial interfaces (for example, UPS, air-conditioner or access control).
- Programmable filter system permitting individual link-ups between inputs and outputs of the RMS. The unit allows hardware to be tailored to customer requirements with appropriate sensor selection, and permits individual logic settings to realize the desired alarms and switching of digital outputs.
- Updateable system software for the RMS. The unit can be updated over the network using the TFTP standard protocol, even during operation, safeguarding hardware investment when software changes in the future.
- Support for standard communications protocols with the RMS systems, including serial interface (VT100 terminal), network interface (telnet, SNMP), terminal programs and network management software.
