Measurement capabilities

Convert industrial signals into values people can use

EMIKO scales supported transmitter signals into the engineering units used by your operation, applies configured thresholds and records the values for history, alerts and export.

From raw signal to a named measurement

The controller accepts the configured signal from the transmitter and converts it into the correct operating range. Instead of seeing a channel number or raw current, the user sees a named value such as water level, temperature, wind speed or active power.

Filtering, damping and hysteresis avoid misleading fluctuations and repeated alerts at the threshold.

Input

Connect a supported transmitter signal to the configured channel.

Scale

Convert the electrical signal into the required engineering range and unit.

Stabilise

Apply appropriate filtering, damping and hysteresis to avoid misleading fluctuations or repeated alerts at the threshold.

Interpret

Give the measurement and alarm a clear name that the recipient can understand.

Record

Make the value available for history, reporting, warning and export where configured.

Supported analogue signal types

The controller supports up to 32 analogue channels, subject to the selected configuration and installed expansion equipment.

  • 4 to 20 mA
  • 0 to 20 mA
  • 0 to 5 V
  • 0 to 10 V
  • 0 to 30 V
  • 0 to 30 V converted to 0 to 10 V

Measurement catalogue

The final availability and configuration must be confirmed for each installation.

Counters and operating time

Operating-time or on-time counter Pulse counter

Multiple temperature points

Sensors on the supported 1-Wire bus can provide temperature measurement and individual alarm handling independently of the analogue channels.

Typical applications include livestock buildings, technical and plant rooms, storage areas and cold rooms, basins, tanks and wells, and pipe systems and distribution sections.

Digital inputs, counters and expansion

Digital inputs can record equipment state and support pulse or operating-time counters. Where the built-in channels are insufficient, supported I/O expansion modules can add channels to the approved RS485 configuration.

Confirm the installation before specification

Bring the transmitter type, signal range, required engineering unit, alarm logic and intended reporting use. Vikingegaarden will confirm the channel configuration, scaling and information available in EMIKO.
