Hi,

I have a customer here who wishes to control the temperature of a water bath remotely ie. two thermocouples measuring the process temperature are connected to a dataTaker (suitable model) which is logging the temperatures.

A water bath with heating/cooling functions and a thermocouple is located remotely for example 200 or 300 miles away. The water bath temperature must be controlled to match and follow the process temperature, therefore the data from the process must be sent to another dataTaker/PC via GSM or GPS to actuate a relay which switches on/off the heating/cooling system of water bath.

The logging intervals are approx hourly total process time 60 hours. Can this be achieved with a datataker & or Can Gate, SMSX modem or other.

Please advise as to any possibilities.

Good evening sralph,

I have seen a matched temperature bath for curing concrete. Thermocouples embedded in the concrete structure measures the temperature. This data was sent back to a DT80 that adjusted the temperature of the water bath.

Cheers,
Roger
