WebDAQ 316 Temperature Data Logger

Digilent's measurement computing WebDAQ 316 is a stand-alone temperature logger designed for remote monitoring and control. All the intelligence is built into the WebDAQ, eliminating the need for a PC or additional software. Using the embedded WebDAQ web server, users can easily configure simple or sophisticated applications, log temperature data, update digital outputs and/or send notifications based on alarm conditions, and view real-time data from any location and any device with a web browser. The WebDAQ 316 provides 16 isolated thermocouple inputs and four isolated digital bits that can be used as trigger inputs or alarm outputs. Housed in a heavy-duty chassis, the WebDAQ 316 is rugged enough for industrial applications.

The WebDAQ Series embedded OS and web server provides an all-in-one package for stand-alone data logging and alarming. Users can monitor and control their applications from anywhere with a web browser. The WebDAQ web server is optimized for both desktop and mobile use. Users can perform data acquisition tasks from phones, tablets and laptops with a single, intuitive user interface.

An embedded web server provides a clean, intuitive interface to access all configuration and data management tasks. Hardware, trigger, and alarm settings are contained in a single task or job. Multiple jobs can be run in a schedule for more complex data-logging applications. For example, users can create a schedule of jobs in which one job automatically runs after an alarm condition is triggered on a different job, such as when a digital input changes.

Install the WebDAQ 316 on any network and access it using any device with a web browser to remotely monitor and control all operations.

Users can create multiple alarms using analog or digital channel sources. Configure alarms to reset and re-arm when the condition clears or reset them remotely with a browser. View the alarm status on the web interface. Receive event and alarm notifications on one or more addresses using email and SMS messaging.

Store data files and configuration settings locally in internal Flash memory or save to external media or network folders. Users can map a network drive or FTP server as the location to log data or store files. Easily transfer files between WebDAQ storage locations and mapped network storage locations.

The WebDAQ performs measurements from up to 16 analog inputs at rates of up to 75 S/s per channel. Each channel is configurable for multiple thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, N, B, R, S) on a per channel basis.

The four isolated digital I/O lines can be used as triggers to start or stop the acquisition or as alarm outputs.

For users requiring more custom functionality than is provided by the web browser interface, a RESTful API is provided to start and stop an acquisition, retrieve data in real time, access information about the system, schedules, and jobs, and to get the status of an acquisition and alarm(s). With the RESTful API, data from WebDAQ devices can be displayed on any popular data dashboard, cloud application, or custom program.
