This wireless version of the 'Breeze' ambient monitoring sensor node enables measurement of temperature, humidity and so-called 'VOC' or volatile organic compounds. It connects via a WiCAN bridge device, and can do so together with over 100 other WiCAN slave nodes. This solution enables temporary or very dynamic measurements while staying compatible with the rest of the CANopen network.
Use this device to monitor climate across the factory floor. Or to monitor temperatures in constrained areas that house power circuits. Not so much as a specific safety measure, but rather as an early warning system.
Optional special cases allow for neat storage, transportation of a collection of WiCAN sensor devices. These cases contain integrated Qi chargers to allow for hassle-free charging of the devices.
