General Description

The Zen Datalogger is a stand-alone data 
logging device. It has logging for up to 30 
separate channels, including 16 on-board uni-
versal inputs.

Among the most flexible data loggers on the 
market, the Zen Datalogger is ideal for con-
necting to a mixture of analog and digital 
sensors. The inputs are all individually isolat-
ed and EMC hardened, making it fit for the 
most demanding industrial environments.

Data is logged to a 1GB Micro SD card, for 
easy data retrieval and transport.

Our free WorkBench software enables easy 
configuration of the unit, as well as down-
load and display of logged data. Each unit 
can be viewed by 8 simultaneous users over 
the LAN.

The Zen Datalogger supports a range of 
interface options including RS232, RS485, 
RS422 and Ethernet, for simple integration 
with PLCs and SCADA systems.

It can be set up as an analog multiplexer, uti-
lizing the onboard dual analog outputs, or 
as an alarm and control station, using the 16 
inbuilt setpoints. These setpoints can trigger 
up to 16 relay contacts if connected to the 
optional ZEN-RIO (sold separately).

The setpoints can also trigger SMS and email 
alarms if the unit is connected to an external 
cellular modem and loaded with the modem 
plugin (found in WorkBench).
