Continuous Bearing Temperature and
Belt Misalignment Monitoring System
The new HotBus™ Digital Serial Communication System from
4B offers customers a much simpler and more cost effective
approach to continuous bearing temperature monitoring. With
up to 256 bearing sensors on a single twisted pair cable,
installation is much easier and maintenance free.
The system allows complete control with user adjustable relative
ambient and absolute trip points for each sensor. HotBus Control
Units can be stand alone or connected to relay control units to
provide automatic machine shutdown. Ethernet, Modbus, and
Device Net Gateways are also available for connection to existing
networks. Software is provided for system test, system status
and uploading of meaningful sensor names and logging / trending
bearing temperatures and alarms. The HotBus system can also
accept TouchSwitch and other switched contact inputs on the
same network.
Features: Max Sensors: 256 sensors on one twisted pair
Network High Speed: 4 second scan time on 256-sensor network
Versatile: Connect up to 8 relay control units (64 relays)
Approvals: ATEX and CE
