MT-156 HMI HeatSens – telemetry controller programmed in CODESYS®

MT-156 HMI HeatSens v3 is a modern, new-generation telemetry controller that combines the functions of a programmable PLC controller, data logger and protocol converter. It features a built-in CODESYS Runtime environment and full programming support in the free CODESYS Development System compliant with IEC 61131-3. Thanks to Dual-SIM technology and support for 2G/4G and LTE Cat. M1/NB-IoT communication, it ensures reliable and redundant data transmission. The device is equipped with a graphic OLED display and navigation buttons, enabling local parameter viewing and configuration without additional devices.

The controller offers a wide range of inputs and outputs – 10 PT1000 inputs (including 2 configurable as 4–20 mA), 2 analogue 4–20 mA inputs, 12 configurable binary I/Os and ports: Ethernet, RS-232/485, USB, M-Bus and 1-Wire. With advanced user logic, alarms, data logging and remote firmware update capabilities, the MT-156 HMI HeatSens is a complete solution for complex telemetry and industrial applications.
