Description

Connect Edge Wi-Fi/Ethernet device adapters are part of the InstrumentConnect 24/7 remote monitoring system. Device adapters include RS485, TTL, RS232 and USB configurations to plug into your Thermo Fisher laboratory equipment. Device adapters extract and transmit telemetry to the Connect Edge gateway via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Thermo Scientific™ InstrumentConnect is professional-grade remote monitoring system for monitoring laboratory equipment and other devices to help protect samples and increase asset management efficiencies. The InstrumentConnect system utilizes Connect Edge adapters and gateways to send data to the InstrumentConnect cloud or to your own premise-based system (LIMS, BMS, SCADA) using OPC-UA™ protocol. Connect Edge hardware is compatible with 700+ Thermo Fisher Scientific laboratory equipment makes and models.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Equipment Telemetry

• For cold storage equipment, InstrumentConnect collects ambient and cabinet temperature data recorded by resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) built into the unit; the remote monitoring system also reports alarms and events, as well as other system-based diagnostic data points to the InstrumentConnect application.
• For CO2 incubators and environmental chambers, InstrumentConnect collects chamber temperatures, gas levels, alarms and alerts received via the incubator and environmental chamber data output connection.

System Hardware

• Device Adapter-Palm-size adapters collect and transmit data from lab equipment/devices to gateways using Ethernet (WAN) connectivity or Wi-Fi.
• Connect Edge Gateway-Receives data from device adapters to send to InstrumentConnect (cloud) or customer-premise system/cloud via OPC-UA using Ethernet (WAN) connectivity or Wi-Fi.

System Software

Choose from these available InstrumentConnect packages.

InstrumentConnect Monitor (Cloud):

• Monitor onboard telemetry data and events**
• Custom alarm settings
• View live device status 24/7 via Mobile and Cloud app
• Peace of mind with industry-leading security protocols
• 25GB included data storage for documents
• Unlimited device telemetry storage
• Notifications via mobile application, e-mail and desktop application

InstrumentConnect Integrate (OPC-UA to Cloud or Prem):

• Utilize the Connect Edge system to collect and transmit data to your on-premise system or cloud using Open Platform Communications Unified Platform. The Connect Edge gateway can be enabled as an OPC server for 10 or more devices.

Network

You can connect 10 device adapters to each Connect Edge gateway. Gateways can accommodate greater than 10 devices, however this is determined by reviewing CPU usage after you have reached this initial quantity after initial set up. Deciding which topology is applicable to your setting will determine the number of gateways you will need.

Connect Edge system has 3 main topologies

• Direct Wi-Fi-Device adapters are configured to transmit data directly to your Connect Edge gateway (10 max per gateway). Your device adapters must be in proximity (50-150 feet) to the gateway.
• Single/Dual Network-Device adapters are configured to connect to your local network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and transmit data to the Connect Edge gateway, also on the same network. This topology is ideal if devices to be monitored are not within proximity to each other or a gateway.

Building your system

• Determine type (Ethernet-only/WiFi+Ethernet) and quantity of gateway(s) needed based on network topology preference. The Configuration Planning Guide can be used for reference, if needed.
• Select compatible adapter for your lab equipment
• Purchase an InstrumentConnect Monitor or Integrate subscription for each device
• Determine whether self-install or professional-install is desired (where available)

System hardware and software is available for purchase in packages or a-la-carte. A built-in gateway discount is included with all packages. Additional savings with 3 and 5-year packages.
