FreePoint’s ‘Getting Started Kit’ enables you to connect your legacy equipment to the ShiftWorx platform without any special protocols, IT, infrastructure or modifications to your existing machine. Our FPT-4i module is ideal for most applications and enables you to connect to the foremost critical machine conditions using our non-invasive connecting sensor or any standard 24 V DC sensing device.
Sample of the Get Started Kit
FPT-4i Remote Transmitter
One needed per machine
Remote Transmitters are identified by the number of optically coupled inputs. They are available with 4 inputs. Remote transmitters send signals wirelessly using 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) Radio bands.
External Antenna with RF Connector
One needed per machine
The antenna has a magnetic base and must be mounted outside and on top of the machine cabinet.
Master
Receiver
One needed per factory
Receives the ISM radio bands.
Power Supply
AC Adapter
Optional
Connects the Remote Transmitter to a machine’s 24 V DC power AC power adapter
H608
(Non-invasive) Optional sensor
As required
FreePoint’s non-invasive sensor used to monitor a Spindle input.
Wiring Kit Option A
(Connect to Machine Power)
Optional
Wiring kit option used to expedite the installation process using the machine’s 24 VDC power supply.
Wiring Kit Option B
(Connect through DC Power)
Optional
Wiring kit option used to expedite the installation process using the supplied Power Supply AC adapter.
USB Mini-B
Cable
One needed per factory
Connects the Master Receiver to a PC with CellMonitor thereby enabling the transmission of information to the cloud using an internet connection.
Connecting Multiple Machines
FreePoint makes connecting the entire shop floor simple.
Each machine will have their own FreePoint Remote Transmitter. These transmitters send signals wirelessly using 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) Radio bands that are recognized by the Master Receiver.
The Master Receiver connects to a Windows personal computer (PC) or laptop using a USB Mini-B Cable to receive input signals from the Remote Transmitter. This data is transmitted to ShiftWorx in the cloud and enables factories to measure, analyze and share information about a machine.
It’s really that simple. Ready to get started?
