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.
