CHESTER Control is a versatile wireless gateway for monitoring and controlling digital and analog signals. It features four configurable inputs and four outputs for controlling external devices. Data is transmitted via NB-IoT or LTE-M, making it ideal for applications that require data collection and active process control.
Applications: monitoring and control of machines, remote device switching, and data collection from analog and digital sensors, etc.
Configurable inputs
Supports four configurable digital/analog inputs
Analog input
Analog inputs can be configured for voltage measurement (0–28 V) or current loop measurement (4–20 mA)
Digital input trigger and counter
Two digital NPN/PNP inputs - one for the trigger (switch, button, relay), and the other for the counter
Output control
Offers four output switches for controlling devices powered by an external voltage
Power supply
Operates from a 6–28 VDC external power source for stable performance
Configurable reporting
Optional periodic data acquisition and transmission
In plastics production, conveyors are often used for granulation, where the granulate is transferred through a pipe directly from the hopper. In this case, a scale can be placed under the hopper and monitored to see precisely how the material in the hopper is decreasing.
In production, it is also possible to weigh crates of products or entire pallets. This makes it possible to identify whether all products are on the pallet or if any are missing. Thanks to continuous measurement, predicting when the pallet is full and needs to be replaced with an empty one is possible. For example, this method is also used when packaging various products with many smaller components.
Another use of the HARDWARIO CHESTER Scale is weighing gas cylinders. Even if the cylinder is heavy, regular measurements can show differences in filling loss. This makes it possible to predict when the cylinder will be empty and must be replaced.
Real-time monitoring and control of machines and production lines
Toggling pumps, valves, or lighting based on input signals or remote commands
Integration with a wide range of analog and digital sensors for environmental and equipment monitoring
Our catalog applications are made to be set up simply and quickly. After you choose your application and get your package, just install CHESTER in the desired location, register it to our cloud and you will get the data to your dashboard that is created based on the selected application.
