The WebDAQ DT5828 intelligent logger features remote monitoring and control of real-timetemperature data.

Overview
The WebDAQ DT5828 is a stand-alone, temperature logger designed for remotemonitoring and control. All the intelligence is built into the WebDAQ, eliminating
the need for a PC or additional software. By using the embedded WebDAQ web
server, users can easily configure simple or sophisticated applications, log temperature
data, update digital outputs and/or send notifications based on alarm conditions,and view real-time data from any location and any device with a web browser.
The WebDAQ DT5828 provides 16 isolated thermocouple inputs, and four isolated
digital bits that can be used as trigger inputs or alarm outputs. Housed in a heavyduty chassis, the WebDAQ DT5828 is rugged enough for industrial applications.

Integrated Software andHardware
The WebDAQ Series embedded OS andweb server provides an all-in-one package
for stand-alone data logging and alarming. Users can monitor and control theirapplications from anywhere with a webbrowser.

Remote Access and Control
Install the WebDAQ DT5828 on any
network and access it using any device
with a web browser to remotely monitor
and control all operations. Users can connect a WiFi adapter to the rear panel andcommunicate with the WebDAQ over awireless network.

• Share folders to view files overa local network• Configurable read/write access• Alarming and notifications
with email and SMS messaging• Export data to csv, UFF, or
binary for other applications• No driver software to install• Built-in web server allows
access from any device with a
web browser• Easy, flexible task scheduling• Remote monitoring andcontrol• WiFi support

Flexible Triggering
Start or stop the acquisition based on
analog or digital thresholds, alarm states,or date/time values. On-demand pushbutton triggering is also supported.

The WebDAQ web server is optimized
for both desktop and mobile use. Users
can perform data acquisition tasks fromphones, tablets and laptops with a single,
intuitive user interface.

WebDAQ Web Interface
An embedded web server provides a clean,intuitive interface to access all configuration and data management tasks.
Hardware, trigger and alarm settings arecontained in a single task, or “job”. Multiple “jobs” can be run in a “schedule” formore complex data logging applications.
For example, users can create a schedule ofjobs in which one job automatically runs
after an alarm condition is triggered on adifferent job, such as when a temperatureis reached or when a digital input changes.

Measurement Computing

Device-independent operation lets you remotely monitor and control the WebDAQ DT5828
from any device with a web browser.

WebDAQ DT5828
Introduction
Easy Setup – Powerful Capabilities
Jobs are the building block of WebDAQ. The ability to define different data logging jobs, or tasks, and add them to a schedule
unleashes flexibility not seen in any other data logger.
Whether you want to set up a simple logging task or a complex task, jobs and a schedule make it easy and straightforward.

What is a Job?

What is a Schedule?

The basic building block of WebDAQ, a job defines channel
configuration, logging options, start and stop conditions, andalarming.

A schedule is a collection of jobs that gives flexibility to dynamically change data logging attributes, such as sampling rate, active
channels configuration, or alarm levels.

Example:Switching from static acquisition todynamic acquisition.
1 Schedule and 2 Jobs
Users can easily setup a job for a slow,
static acquisition and a fast dynamicacquisition. When a trigger condition
is met (i.e. over/under alarm), Job
1 (slow acquisition) ends and Job 2(fast acquisition) begins. When the trigger
condition returns to normal, job 1 can berestarted.

Clear, Concise, Data Displays

WebDAQ users don’t need to rely on the small
screens and difficult to navigate displays ofmost other loggers. With WebDAQ’s intuitive
web interface, users can easily see their dataand alarm conditions in real time or after theacquisition is complete.

Features
Alarm and Event Notifications

Real-Time Clock

Create multiple alarms using analog or digital channel sources.
Configure alarms to reset and re-arm when the condition clears,
or reset them remotely with your browser. View the alarm statuson the web interface. Receive event and alarm notifications on
one or more addresses using email and SMS messaging.

A real-time clock provides an absolute time reference for timestamping data. The clock can be set to any timezone, and may
be synchronized to the internet time server.

Virtually Unlimited Storage
Store data files and configuration settings locally in internal flash
memory, or save to external media or network folders.

The WebDAQ DT5828 provides up to 16 thermocouple channels. Type J, K, T, E, N, B, R, and S thermocouples are supported.
Thermocouple inputs are isolated from ground. Overvoltage
protection is provided between any two inputs.

Users can map a network drive or FTP server as the location tolog data or store files.

CJC and Auto Zero Support

Easily transfer files between WebDAQ storage locations andmapped network storage locations.

Cold junction compensation (CJC) is enabled for all channels.
Users can enable an auto zero channel to compensate for offset
errors.

Isolated Thermocouple Inputs

Share Folders

Isolated Digital I/O

Users can share a WebDAQ storage location or specific folder
over a local network.

The four isolated digital I/O lines can be used either as triggers
to start or stop the acquisition or as alarm outputs.

Real-Time Data Display

Flexible Power Requirements

View data as it is acquired or from a stored file. Users can specify
a range of data to view and zoom in or out. Data is plotted on
strip chart and scalar displays.

Provide power with the 12 volt, 1.25 amp supply that ships withthe device*, or connect to any 6 to 16 DC supply.

Control Read and Write AccessFirmware Updates

Users can control who can view and modify job settings bydefining a password and setting the security level for the admin
account. A “share” password can be used to access a shared folderor FTP server running on the WebDAQ.

Device firmware is bundled with the operating system and web
server in one update file. This allows the WebDAQ DT5828 to
be updated in the field.

Calibration

Run the Schedule on Startup

The WebDAQ DT5828 is factory-calibrated using a NIST-traceablecalibration process. Specifications are guaranteed for one year.
Return the device to the factory for recalibration.

Automatically run the schedule when the system starts up.
Multiple jobs in the schedule are run consecutively.
