Q: How many hard-wired sensors can I connect to a Wireless I/O Portal or CloudGate?
A: We allow two Application Interfaces per Portal or CloudGate. If you are just using your CloudGate as a Gateway to bring in wireless communication from your vibration and temperature sensors, you don’t need to use any of the Application Interfaces listed below. However, if you want to add sensing, you can use one card or any combination of two cards from the following options:
-
AA: (2) 10kΩ inputs (thermistor) and (5) 0-10V DC Inputs
-
AB: (5) 4-20mA Inputs
-
AC: (4) 3-Wire RTDs
-
AD: (3) 4-Wire RTDs
-
AE: (6) Thermocouples
-
AF: (2) Triaxial Accelerometers
-
AG: (6) Single Axis Accelerometers
-
DA: (1) I2C Port, (1) RS485 Port, (1) SPI Port
