INTRODUCTION

We at Monitor Technologies LLC are pleased to provide you this quality instrumentation system. We are confident that you will be pleased

with the operation of this product. Please do not hesitate to call the factory for any technical assistance, suggestions, or comments.
The 

Silo

Track

TM

CLOUD

Gateway is equipped with a RS-485 communication network capable of interfacing with up to 32 sensors, any

combination of 

Silo

Patrol

® 

SMU & 

Radar

Right

TM

sensors that are allowed on the network.

The 

Silo

Track

TM

CLOUD

Gateway continuously monitors the status of each sensor via a multi-dropped RS-485 communication link. Each

sensor has to be uniquely addressed with a value from 1~247, though we recommend using 1-32 for simplicity of the overall installation.

Communication failures on the RS485 network and other sensor Status Alarms are detected and indicated on the Gateway for any sensor

declared active. When prompted, either manually from an operator or automatically by the Gateway’s programmable time interval, a

Silo

Patrol

® 

SMU  sensor  takes  a  measurement.  The  latest  measurement  value  is  communicated  to  the 

Silo

Track

TM

CLOUD

Gateway.

Radar

Right

™ sensors periodically read automatically, and no prompting is required. The distance measurement (i.e. the distance from the

sensor to the material surface) is the basis for various user-selected calculations that are performed within the software and made 

available for viewing within the mobile/web application.
