Additional Product Information
IP WatchDog2 Industrial periodically checks the function of monitored devices (by transmitting or receiving an “I'm alive and OK” signal over LAN or RS-232). If the correct reply is not received in time, the device is restarted using a relay. Everything is automatic, without additional software or human intervention.
IP WatchDog2 Industrial monitors the availability of up to 10 devices. When an outage is detected, WatchDog2 reacts by power-cycling or restarting the device using its two output channels (relays). Other possible reactions to outages include sending an e-mail, SMS text message or activating an audible alarm.
The industrial version of IP WatchDog2 includes a serial port (RS-232) that enables monitoring the function of machinery or connecting a GSM modem for sending SMS text messages. Industrial applications can benefit from DIN rail mount and output relays that can directly switch 110/230VAC, max. 16A.
Five Methods of Monitoring:
- Ping Out: IP WatchDog2 periodically sends PING requests
- Ping In: IP WatchDog2 waits for a PING from a specified IP address
- Web client: IP WatchDog2 periodically checks the availability of a given web page or web server (web watchdog)
- Web server: IP WatchDog2 waits for a request for its internal web page RS232 Rx: IP WatchDog2 waits for a sequence of characters in the RS-232 data stream (rs-232 watchdog)
