VT336t / Industrial Monitoring Unit” is a monitoring and control unit specially designed for DIN rail installations, industrial racks, and electrical installations.

The unit is used for environmental monitoring (e.g. temperature, humidity, voltage, leakage, smoke, airflow). It is also used as an I/O DIN controller (e.g. door control, fans, generator, control panels, UPS, circuit breakers, and alarms). Can use up to 1000 different elements - notifications, triggers, timers, logic schemes, sensors, and dry contacts. Has a built-in Web interface with virtual sensors, logic schemes, different types of notifications, and control panels. Has a slot for an LTE modem for an ethernet connection reservation.

...

Virtual sensors include PING, timers, triggers, Logic schemes, SNMP GET, x4 IP cameras, Virtual math elements, and others.

Use cases

The VT336t is a versatile monitoring system that offers various use cases across different applications. Here are some of the main use cases:

  1. Data Center Monitoring: The VT336t is ideal for monitoring environmental conditions in data centers, such as temperature, humidity, and power consumption. It can help ensure optimal conditions for equipment, preventing overheating and failures.

  2. Facility Management: In commercial buildings, the VT336t can be used to monitor and control HVAC systems, lighting, and security. This helps maintain energy efficiency and comfort for occupants while providing alerts for maintenance needs.

  3. Industrial Automation: The VT336t can integrate with various sensors and devices to monitor processes in manufacturing plants. It can track machinery performance, environmental conditions, and safety measures, allowing for real-time data analysis and decision-making.

  4. Remote Site Monitoring: For remote locations, such as oil rigs or telecommunications towers, the VT336t can monitor equipment status and environmental factors. This capability allows operators to receive alerts and manage assets effectively from a distance.

  5. Energy Management: The system can track power usage in real-time, helping businesses analyze energy consumption patterns. This data can be used to implement energy-saving strategies and reduce operational costs.

  6. Alarm and Notification Systems: The VT336t can be configured to trigger alarms based on specific thresholds for various parameters, such as smoke detection or temperature spikes. This is crucial for safety in environments like warehouses and factories.

  7. Research and Development: In laboratories or testing facilities, the VT336t can be used to monitor experimental conditions, ensuring precise data collection for research projects.

  8. IoT Integration: The VT336t supports integration with IoT devices, allowing for smart building applications and enhanced data analytics. This feature enables advanced automation and control strategies.

Physical Description

Main module:

...

R / Restore of appliance: The switch is switched to the right →. Used to load the clean system image from an SD card. Read instructions at “Restore of appliance (for VT335i, VT825i, VT855i, VT960i & VT960ii series and VT855t series)”.

2. "LTE slot modem" - "VT740 / LTE slot modem" can be installed in this slot. This modem is ordered separately. Read instructions at "VT740 / LTE slot modem", and "LAN, GSM, LTE, RADIUS, DNS, SSL, VPN".

3. "SD card" - MicroSD card slot with an ejector. The card is needed for data storage or the "system restore". Read instructions at "Saving system logs to SD card", and "Restore of the appliance (for VT960 series)".

4. "LAN port" - Ethernet 10/100 Base-T port, provides an Ethernet connection. Read more in this section "LAN, GSM, LTE, RADIUS, DNS, SSL, VPN".

  • "Orange LED" - orange LED for Ethernet port. It shows network traffic.

  • "Green LED" - green LED for Ethernet port. It shows network traffic. Flashes green when the system starts up. Shows the connection state (constant green light - the connection is established, blinking green - the connection attempt).

5. “USB" - USB Type C is needed for USB camera recording, USB Flash for system logs, and system restoration. Read instructions in "Connecting USB camera", "USB camera settings. How to save a video", "Saving system logs on USB flash drive", and "USB upgrade or restore of default settings".

6. "CAN" - digital connector RJ12 6P4C for the connection of CAN sensors/extensions/devices on a CAN bus. Modules can be chained together. Read the instructions in "CAN devises connection", and "Setting up CAN".

  • "LED: CAN" - green LED indicates CAN bus status.

  • The LED blinks slowly - nothing is connected

  • The LED blinks fast - configuration is in process

  • The LED glows constantly - connected to CAN devices

...

8. "Analog sensors: A1..A4" - x4 RJ12 6P4C analog sensor inputs with auto-sensing. Read instructions at "Analog sensors connection", and "Sensor configuration".

9. "DRY CONTACT INPUTS 1...8" - Dry contact inputs (Type IN). Pitch 3.5mm, 6P. Read the instructions at "Connecting dry contacts", and "Dry contacts settings".

10. "Restart" - the button restarts the appliance. Hold the button for 2 seconds and then let go, and the system will restart.

13. "Relay Outputs 12V DC 0.25A" - 12V 0.25A (for each output) terminals outputs (electronic relay). Pitch 3.81mm, 3P. Read the instructions at "Connecting 12V devices to 12V outputs".

  • "LEDs: E1, E2" - status indicators for two 12V 0.25A outputs on the front panel.

  • The LED is ON (orange) - and the output is ON (the initial state can be configured).

  • The LED is OFF (orange) - and the output is OFF ((the initial state can be configured).

14. System LEDs

"LED: ACT" - green LED indicates appliance system status,

  • - operating mode of the device: switches at a frequency of 2 times per second;

  • - successful completion of the software update process: switches at a frequency of 4 times per second;

"LED: ALARM" - The LED can be programmed from the interface for alarm indication.

"LED: ERROR" - red LED indicates error and traffic.
