IP WatchDog HWg-WR02a: Ping restarter

IP WatchDog HWg-WR02aIP WatchDog HWg-WR02a monitors the functionality of a device over IP (PING/WEB) or serial line (RS-232), automatically restarts it upon failure. The device can monitor two devices (two independent channels, two 110/230VAC relays). Industrial applications benefit from DIN rail compatibility.

IP WatchDog WR02a (ping restarter) periodically monitors the functionality of a device by transmitting or receiving a specified “I'm alive and OK” signal over IP or RS-232. If the correct reply is not received in time, the device is restarted with a relay. Failures are detected with five distinct methods, separately for each channel (Ping Tx/Rx, Web page request/push, RS-232 data). Web WatchDog WR02a allows flexible configuration – method of functionality detection, switchoff time when restarting.


Applications:
  • Operation monitoring / IP restart: servers / routers; IP video cameras; WiFi links / access points; industrial systems
  • Connectivity monitoring: activation of a back-up link; detection of connectivity outage (relay >> horn); monitoring of ADSL and cable modems; security and access control systems

HWg-PDMS: Monitoring software

HWg-PDMSHWg PDMS is a Windows application, primarily designed for IT environments, that logs temperature, energy consumption, or access to monitored rooms. Up to 100 input devices can be connected over a network. The application can display a graphical summary and generate MS Excel reports.


  • Registered version is free of charge for one year
  • Data are collected over a LAN (via http and the device IP address / via an e-mail account)
  • Data collection runs in the background as a Windows service
  • Simple export to MS Excel (runs periodically in the background



Typical HWg-PDMS users
  • IT department: Software for monitoring temperature, power supply, and access to the server room

  • Audit: End user that needs data logging (operations / storage audit)

  • Outsourcing: Record of the quality of the provided services. The generated MS Excel summary can be attached to the invoice as a quality assurance measure.

  • Operations logs: Maintaining a history record that can be manually exported to MS Excel if needed.

I/O Controller: HWg-ER88a

HWg-STEI/O Controller enables monitoring of binary inputs as well as control of outputs and the serial line remotely over TCP/IP and Ethernet. RS-232/485 serial port, 8 inputs and outputs are controlled with a TELNET-like (RFC2217) M2M protocol. The protocol is fully documented. Use the Hercules terminal SW for testing.

  • Redirect ER88a serial port to a virtual serial port (e.g. COM27) on any networked PC. The HW VSP application for Windows is supplied free of charge.
  • Accelerate your deployment with many examples for various programming languages in the HWg SDK (Borland C++ Builder, MS Visual C, VB, Delphi, C#, PHP, JAVA).
  • Box-2-Box mode: Two units can be connected against each other in order to interconnect all their inputs and outputs over the Ethernet, including the serial line.
I/O Controller: HWg-ER88a monitoring of the binary inputs, outputs and serial line
  • Easily connect a barcode reader or a serial printer over an IP network (LAN / WAN).
  • Link up to eight buttons with a SW application.
  • Control a gate, a horn, or an alarm signal using the outputs that can be boosted with external relays.


Accessories:
  • DB9 Prolong cable 2m
