Do you need a reliable overview of what is happening in your processes? Want to transfer this data wirelessly and monitor it efficiently? That's exactly what CHESTER Input is for – a versatile module that enables the integration of analog and digital signals and their wireless transmission via NB-IoT, LTE-M, or LoRaWAN. This gives you control over what's important to you, whether in industry, agriculture, or energy.

From beehives to electric fences

The versatility of CHESTER Input can be applied in a wide range of scenarios. For example, it can:

• Monitor machine takt time to calculate OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
  
• Detect floods and warn of imminent damage in good time.
  
• Monitor the functionality of electric fences and fences to keep security under control at all times.
  
• Measure the weight of bee hives or monitor the volume of grain silos – from hives to silos, one brilliant CHESTER can handle it all.

Compatible with industry-standard sensors

CHESTER Input supports the connection of sensors with common industrial standards of 0–30 V and 4–20 mA. This makes it easy to connect to a wide range of sensors, such as inductive sensors, optical barriers, pressure sensors for machine tires, and more. This flexibility allows for use in many different applications and environments.

Easy deployment and data management

Like other devices in the CHESTER series, this device is characterized by a simple setup and intuitive operation. After installation in the designated location, register it in the HARDWARIO Cloud and set the necessary parameters. The data will automatically start transferring to your control panel. Everything is designed to be fast, efficient, and hassle-free, from device selection to installation and use.

Power, flexibility, and robust design

The CHESTER Input can be powered by a battery or an external power source with a backup battery, making it suitable for locations without a permanent connection to the mains. With a standby power consumption of less than 180 μA (depending on the connected sensor) and a temperature resistance of –20 to +60 °C, it is ready to face demanding conditions.
