Specialized modules

They offer basic communication based on packet data transmission. They make it possible to monitor the operation of external controllers via a direct TCP connection. They can generate alarms and receive or carry out the collation of voice calls according to a configured algorithm. At the same time, they have additional functions implemented to meet specific requirements, characteristic of the industry or branch in which they are to be used.

Specialised devices are ‘tailor-made’. The design process for specialised modules is geared from start to finish to the specific application. In doing so, we draw on years of experience and proven solutions that have been used for years in the modules of the professional family. 

INVENTIA, in close collaboration with SPECKOR Maciej Malicki, introduces the MT-653 telemetry module, designed to monitor the parameters and control the operation of cathodic protection systems for pipelines, tanks and other metal structures buried in the ground or submerged in water. It combines the features of its predecessors, the MT-651 and MT-652, which have won acclaim in the marketplace, while innovating to meet the needs of today’s installations.

The MT-653 has six measurement channels, allowing DC and AC voltages to be measured with exceptional precision, with microvolt resolution. The unit is equipped with two groups of galvanically isolated analogue inputs, allowing the measurement range to be flexibly set to ±10 V, ±100 V and ±100 mV.

The module also provides:

• Two binary inputs and two relay outputs, which can be used for functions such as measuring the breakaway potential at the drain point or signalling the opening of the enclosure door.
• Dual SIM and 2G/4G modem, ensuring data transmission redundancy and communication reliability even in difficult conditions.
• Built-in GPS receiver for accurate time synchronisation.
• Detection of unauthorised physical access attempts to the device.

The device is housed in a rugged IP65 enclosure, ensuring its resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Its ability to be mounted on a DIN rail or in a Ø100 mm measuring post facilitates integration into existing installations.

The MT-653 is externally powered from 9-30 VDC with the option to run on a built-in lithium battery pack or lithium-ion battery, ensuring continuous operation in the event of a primary power failure.

The device supports remote configuration and diagnostics and offers a wide range of communication options, including USB-C, RS-485 and a BLE interface. Another unique feature is the module’s ability to record data at high frequency in a 180,000 record logger. There is also the option to use the DataPortal SCADA system, which provides advanced monitoring and data management in the cloud. This solution helps to provide a comprehensive offering that meets the needs of integrators and end users. More details are available at dataportal.pl

INVENTIA’s free MTManager configuration environment and MTData Provider communication software, which come as standard, enable integration with master SCADA systems and SQL databases. This gives users access to current and historical data, providing full control of cathodic protection installations.

The MT-653 is a reliable, versatile and innovative device that perfectly meets the needs of integrators and users of advanced telemetry systems.
