Exhaust temperature is a key parameter for the safe and reliable operation of air compressors. However, many compressors only support local PLC control and display, relying on manual meter reading and on-site inspections. The lack of remote monitoring often leads to delayed detection of abnormalities, increasing maintenance costs and safety risks.

To enable low-cost digital retrofitting, temperature transmitters and I/O data collection terminals can be installed. These devices capture exhaust temperature data and transmit it to a remote monitoring system, allowing real-time oversight of compressor exhaust temperature — shifting from scheduled manual inspections to continuous remote monitoring. This significantly reduces workload and improves management efficiency.

Features & Benefits

WideIOT's I/O data collection terminals support analog and digital input/output signals. They are compatible with multiple communication methods, including Ethernet, 4G/5G, and Wi-Fi, making them adaptable to various on-site network conditions.

Authorized personnel can view real-time exhaust temperature data anytime, anywhere via computers or mobile devices. The monitoring system displays temperature trends using intuitive charts and curves, providing clear visibility into equipment performance.

When exhaust temperature exceeds a preset safety threshold, the I/O terminal immediately sends an alarm to the monitoring system, which then notifies relevant personnel via SMS, email, WeChat, or other channels.

The system also records exhaust temperature data, runtime, maintenance history, and other information, creating a complete equipment lifecycle management profile to support ongoing maintenance and management.
