CapTemp CapTemp and MonTemp is a pair of utilities to monitor production processes. The programs can supervise all sensors from HW group (temperature and humidity sensors, contacts, etc) as well as sensors by other manufacturers. CapTemp logs the readings into an internal database, displays several most recent ones, and processes conditions and alarms.
Poseidon 2250 – Short Manual HW group Poseidon probes calibrator Each sensor can be calibrated by specifying a linear offset. The calibration value can be written over calibrator utility (a menu invoked by a right-click) or by XML. Programmers can use EX104 in the HWg SDK Calibration examples Calibration value = +3 →...
Poseidon 2250 – Short Manual HW group Common features of the Poseidon product line Displayed readings The Poseidon unit displays current readings from all connected sensors. Dry contact inputs are scanned approximately every 200ms. Values from all sensors on both buses (RS-485 and 1W bus) are read in a single loop that repeats once per second;...
Poseidon 2250 – Short Manual HW group Sensor hysteresis The Hysteresis setting defines a tolerance band for alarm alerts. This feature prevents multiple alarm alerts if the reading oscillates around the specified threshold. See the graph for an explanation. Without a hysteresis of 5°C, the alarm raised at point 8 would end at point 9. With the hysteresis function, the alarm continues until the temperature rises above the tolerance band (point 10), that is, 5°C + (-15°C) = -10°C.

Poseidon 2250 – Short Manual HW group Detailed device description Power connector The usual DC plug – 2,5mm coaxial barrel connector – is used to connect the power. Negative terminal is connected to the outer body of the plug. Ethernet Ethernet network connects via the standard RJ45 jack next to the power connector.
Poseidon 2250 – Short Manual HW group DIP1 - RS-232 Setup mode DIP1 activates the RS-232 Setup mode. If DIP1=ON when the device is powered up, the RS-232 Setup mode is activated and the red MODE LED blinks. The Ethernet is disabled in this mode! To restore factory default settings: Toggle the DIP switch at least 3 times within 5 seconds after powering up the device.
