Foreseer Data Acquisition Engine
Now you can cost-effectively and efficiently expand the Foreseer Class' advanced monitoring and management capabilities to remote sites. The Foreseer Data Acquisition Engine is designed specifically for geographically or physically removed sites where local IT expertise may not exist.Based on powerful and proven Foreseer Class technology, the Data Acquisition Engine automatically collects and sends data from critical infrastructure devices such as UPS, generator, and power distribution units and communicates that data, as well as status and alarms, back to the centrally located Foreseer Class enterprise server.
The Data Acquisition Engine represents a significant step forward in enterprise-class management, enabling an intelligent hierarchical management architecture that matches the configuration of the global enterprise.
Packaged in a 2U rackmount enclosure, the Foreseer Data Acquisition Engine is a highly available, network-intelligent appliance designed to extend the management reach of the Foreseer Class architecture. Using local processing and using the shared bandwidth of an IP network, the Data Acquisition Engine reduces the cost required to transmit data to the central Foreseer Class server. The Data Acquisition Engine can also continue to operate independently and generate alarms even if the connection to the central server is unavailable, increasing the overall availability of the management system.
Standard features include dual 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports, four serial ports, four USB ports, Foreseer Class firmware, and support for up to 3,072 channels (1,536 analog, 1,536 digital).
