4.1 Introducing 

the EasyGrid Base 

 
The EasyGrid Base fiber optic temperature measurement system is designed for real-time monitoring of 
transformer hotspot. 
 
It can be configured to have 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 channels.  Monitors can be daisy chained in serial Modbus mode 
to a maximum of 247 units. 
 
Each unit has multiple serial interfaces (1x USB and 1 x RS-485) and 1x optional Ethernet communication port.  
 
Standard supported serial communication protocol is MODBUS. 
 
Optional supported Ethernet communication protocols are:  IEC-61850, IEC-60870-5-104, DNP3 and TCP-IP 
MODBUS.
