Autumn and the first frosts – the beginning of the most demanding period

When the outside temperature begins to drop rapidly and the first frosts remind us of the approaching winter, the heating industry enters a period of intense activity. The heating season means not only increased demand for heat, but also challenges related to maintaining the stability and safety of the network.

Every parameter – from temperature to flow to pressure – is important for the reliability of the system. Even minor deviations can quickly translate into heat loss, equipment failure or a decline in customer comfort. That is why effective monitoring and the ability to respond quickly are crucial – they allow you to react before problems turn into serious failures.

In response to these challenges, we have developed a series of HeatSens devices that support operators in monitoring, analysing and optimising the operation of heating networks – from local nodes to distributed facilities throughout the network.

Find out:

• HeatSens solutions – three modules, one approach

  • MT-156 HMI HeatSens CODESYS^® – local control and monitoring centre

  • MT-570 HeatSens – data concentrator for entire facilities

  • MT-058 HeatSens – monitoring without power supply

• DataPortal and SIM cards – full background support

• Q&A – frequently asked questions

MT-156 HMI HeatSens – local control and monitoring centre

MT-156 is a programmable telemetry controller with CODESYS^® support, which combines the functions of a PLC, data logger and protocol converter.

The device enables:

• support for a wide range of signals: PT1000 inputs, analogue, binary, RS-232/485 interfaces, Ethernet, M-Bus, 1-Wire,

• parameter preview and diagnostics without additional devices, thanks to the built-in OLED display,

• data logging with 1-second accuracy and SD card recording, allowing analysis of the node’s operating history,

• remote configuration and updating, minimising the need for service visits,

• secure and redundant data transmission, thanks to LTE Cat M1 / NB-IoT and Dual-SIM support.

Practical application: MT-156 is ideal for use in heat distribution nodes, chambers and local switchboards, where the operator needs quick access to data and the ability to immediately adjust settings.

MT-570 is a module designed for the integration of devices and sensors in larger facilities, creating a central data hub.

Its features include:

• support for numerous binary, analogue and PT1000 inputs, allowing data to be collected from various sources,

• automatic notification when thresholds are exceeded or states change – intelligent alerting,

• remote configuration and software updates, which save time and service costs,

• redundant communication thanks to Dual-SIM and support for LTE Cat M1 / NB-IoT.

Practical application: MT-570 centralises information from multiple measuring points, enables quick response to anomalies and supports operators’ decisions, while simplifying data integration throughout the facility.

MT-058 is a module designed to work in places where there is no permanent power source.

It features:

• battery power providing up to 5 years of operation (with an optional battery, up to 10 years).

• built-in NB-IoT / LTE Cat M1 modem, ensuring low power consumption and reliable communication.

• resistance to harsh conditions (IP68), enabling operation in the field.

• support for temperature sensors, binary and analogue inputs, and data reading from heat meters,

• event and data logging even in the event of temporary transmission interruptions.

Practical application: MT-058 allows monitoring of hard-to-reach points in the transmission network and dispersed facilities without the need to build additional power infrastructure.

HeatSens modules work with the DataPortal platform, which enables:

• convenient access to data from the entire network – animated screens, reports, summaries.

• real-time alarm notifications (SMS/e-mail),
• connection control thanks to telemetry SIM cards with a private APN and a fixed IP address, ensuring stable and secure transmission.

This working environment allows operators to make decisions in real time and respond more quickly to irregularities.

Sezon grzewczy wymaga niezawodności i precyzyjnego monitoringu. Rozwiązania HeatSens – od lokalnych sterowników MT-156, przez koncentratory MT-570, po bateryjne moduły MT-058 – tworzą kompletny ekosystem wspierający operatorów w codziennej pracy.
