What is a Sensor System?
- Sensor Systems is a feature that allows users to create an association between any related sensors and to view them all in the same place.
When Should I create/use a Sensor System?
Sensor systems allow you to view the relationship between multiple sensors in one place. Examples of situations where creating a system would be beneficial include:
- Sensors monitoring a single tank in different ways. (E.g. a primary level sensor with a headspace sensor.)
- Sensors monitoring multiple tanks that are drawn from together or in some sequence. (E.g. Multiple 750lb carbo tanks drawn together, or a manifold system with a left/ right side.)
Sensor systems are excellent for analyzing and troubleshooting situations where multiple sensors are involved and can impact each other's behavior. Detecting changes and diagnosing issues has become even easier with sensor systems.
Does "Sensor Systems" replace the "Attach a Headspace Sensor" Feature?
- Yes, the feature to create a Sensor System replaces the previous "Attach a Headspace Sensor" feature. The "Attach a headspace sensor" and "Detach a headspace sensor" options will no longer be displayed on the Dashboard. However, the relationship between any primary level sensor and a headspace sensor can still be achieved by creating a system with the two sensors.
How is the "Sensor Systems" feature different or better than the old "Attach a headspace sensor" feature?
- Sensor Systems allows you to create an association and display multiple sensors in one place without the restriction of the secondary sensor needing to be a headspace.
- Sensor Systems allows you to create associations between any related sensors regardless of the sensor type.
How many sensors can I add to a Sensor System?
- Up to 3 sensors can be added to a Sensor System.
What order do the sensors appear in the Sensor System?
- Sensors are sorted in the following order alphabetically by name:
- Consumption Sensors (Differential Pressure Sensors, High Pressure Sensors, Industrial Scales, Consumptions Sensors connected to a Frontier..) followed by
- Environmental Sensors (Headspace sensors, Temperature Sensors, Environmental Sensors connected to a Frontier..)
