M853 is an ultra-low power “all-in-one” Data Acquisition & Communication Module including datalogging, designed for a wide-range industrial applications. The M853 can be fully configured according to your process requirements. No additional signal converters / amplifiers, encapsulating cabinet or other electrical installation material necessary. Shortly: As long as your sensor, instrument, (field)device or other equipment has an analog output, you can take advantage of ProcessMonitor.

The M853 is in full compliance with the ProcessMonitor Webportal or ProcessView stand-alone software package for visualization, data history, trend graphics and/or extensive alarming.
