More security, more flexibility:
Radio network functionality with testo Saveris 1
The complete solution
testo Saveris 1 is ideal for environ-mental monitoring in demanding
applications. It measures temperature, humidity and differential pressure
values completely automatically and can be used virtually anywhere:
Measured values are transmitted by data loggers using, among other things, the
specially developed testo UltraRange radio technology: First to special
Gateways and then to the testo Saveris Base. The new “radio network
functionality” now opens up even more possibilities in communication between
the data loggers and the Gateways.
This increases data security and makes flexible adaptation of the measuring
points possible.
testo Saveris 1 and testo UltraRange:
Set-up and function
testo Saveris 1 and testo
UltraRange: Set-up and function
The data logger modules, including any probes that may be needed as well as
transmitters with analog couplers measure the required parameters (1).
The values are then transmitted either:
- by (2) WLAN (via the system’s WLAN communication module and your local router)
- by (3) LAN (via the system’s LAN/PoE module)
- or by (4) testo UltraRange radio (via testo UltraRange communication module and testo UltraRange Gateway)
- to the testo Saveris Base V3.0 (5).
You can then access your data via your computer using the testo Saveris PRO or CFR software or the webbased cockpit (6).
The challenge
The modular environmental monitoring system testo Saveris 1 records and
analyzes your critical environmental data, alerts you immediately if limit
values are violated and can
help you optimize your processes.
The modular design of the system’s data loggers allows perfect adaptation to
the structural conditions of the application site. This means that various
output interfaces can be flexibly combined with the different communication
standards WLAN, LAN or testo UltraRange radio technology.
Compared to conventional radio technologies, the latter convinces with very
high radio range and signal robustness.
Especially when used in more complex buildings, these advantages are very
effective.
Until now, each data logger in the system was assigned a defined testo Saveris
UltraRange Gateway. The communication between both components worked
directionally and a transfer of data with other or multiple Gateways was not
possible. Among other things, this made it difficult to closely monitor the
transport of highly sensitive goods (e.g. vaccines or products cooled with
liquid nitrogen) within a site, such as from production to intermediate
storage in the refrigerator or from there via packaging to loading onto the
truck. In order to increase fail-safety and redundancy in applications such as
these, among other things, the “radio network functionality” function was
developed.
The solution
With the new radio network functionality of the monitoring system testo
Saveris 1, it is now possible for the first time to configure multiple testo
UltraRange radio networks with multiple testo UltraRange Gateways. Depending
on the radio strength, up to ten testo UltraRange Gateways can now be
installed in the same radio network. The data logger automatically searches
for the Gateway that emits the strongest signal within its radio range.
Within the existing radio range, you can now configure up to five different
radio networks independently of each other and operate them in parallel. A
total of up to 75 Gateways can be connected to a testo Saveris Base, with each
Gateway having its own radio network as standard. In this way, the new
function creates an area-wide communication network within your plant in
which the measuring points can transmit alarms to the system at any time, even
when they are in motion.
If you are already using a new generation testo Saveris 1 environmental
monitoring system, you do not need any new hardware to benefit from the radio
network functionality:
Both your testo Saveris UltraRange Gateways and the testo Saveris Base and
data loggers receive the function automatically with a firmware update. To use
more than one Gateway within a testo UltraRange radio network, the
corresponding configuration must be made. Of course, we will be happy to
advise and support you in this regard. Just

Info: You may already be familiar with the radio network functionality
feature from your daily work with testo Saveris 1 extenders. This further
development is now more stable in performance and also more easily scalable.
The advantages
Closer monitoring
By also having the certainty of being immediately informed about limit
violations during logistics within your plants, you can now ensure the
security of your products even more efficiently. In addition, if upper or
lower temperature limits are violated during transports, you can intervene in
good time.
Higher level of data security
Data transmission and communication of the measuring points are redundantly
ensured with the new functionality.
If communication to a Gateway is interrupted or a Gateway even fails, the
testo Saveris data loggers simply communicate independently to the next
available Gateway.
Now that different Gateways
can communicate with different data loggers, this increases the security of
your data as well as the stability of the entire system.
Mobile measuring points
The network functionality allows you to flexibly reposition measuring points
within the network without interrupting communication, for example to
accommodate new conditions in larger warehouse facilities.
The radio network
functionality makes it possible to freely move measuring points within a
building. The data loggers automatically connect to the next Gateway.
