Novus DigiRail OEE WiFi | Wireless IO Module Modbus (2AI / 6DI / 2DO) MQTT

The DigiRail OEE WiFi is economical machinery or production line monitoring for Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) — hardwired I/O to MQTT or Modbus, passing data to OEE, DCS or SCADA systems, cloud compatible, and doubling as a Modbus RTU-to-MQTT or Modbus RTU-to-Ethernet gateway. It utilises existing WiFi network infrastructure for data acquisition and logging, avoiding new cable runs. The module contains 6 digital inputs, individually configurable to monitor state (On/Off) or act as counters, plus two analogue inputs and two digital outputs. Initial configuration in Novus NXperience is an extremely quick process. With a small amount of interface wiring the module can begin gathering data in minutes. This can be passed via MQTT to Novus Cloud or similar services, or sent to existing PLC/SCADA systems using the Modbus TCP protocol. ✅ 3 Year Manufacturer Warranty — backed by our UK-based technical support Novus DigiRail OEE WiFi Datasheet Download Novus DigiRail OEE WiFi Manual Download Technical Details Inputs: 6 digital, 2 analogue.
