LogBox LTE Multichannel IoT Data Logger
Novus Automation LogBox LTE is a multichannel IoT data logger with NB-IoT and Cat-M1 cellular technology
The Novus Automation LogBox LTE redefines wireless data collection with NB-IoT and Cat-M1 cellular technology, delivering reliable monitoring in the most challenging environments, from remote oil fields to underground utility vaults. This rugged logger combines two high-accuracy analog inputs (supporting thermocouples J/K/T/N/E/R/S/B, Pt100 RTDs, and 4 mA to 20 mA/0 V to 10 V signals) with one digital channel for pulse counting or event logging, transmitting real-time data via global LTE-M networks even in low-signal areas.
Engineered for mission-critical applications, the LogBox LTE features a 140,000-record memory with configurable sampling (1 second to 12 hours) and an 80 hour battery backup to ensure data integrity during outages. Its MQTT/Modbus TCP protocols enable seamless integration with SCADA systems and cloud platforms like AWS IoT, while compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EPA, and OSHA standards makes it ideal for regulated industries. The compact IP40 enclosure [120 mm × 100 mm × 40 mm (4.72 in. × 3.94 in. × 1.57 in.)] withstands temperatures from -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F), and the three-line LCD provides instant field verification without external devices.
