Reliable, Rugged & Fool-Proof
Most of today’s monitoring systems are based on PCs running MS Windows Operating Systems. These systems are plagued with system failures and reliability issues. This is not a good proposition for monitoring critical systems, equipment or assets.
MoviTHERM’s Intelligent I/O module is different. It is based on a reliable and proven embedded architecture. No PC, Operating System or Hard Drives to worry about. It’s only job is to monitor FLIR® AX8 Thermal Cameras and alarm you, if a temperature gets out of bounds. It even detects if a camera stops communicating, is powered off or disconnected.
Each module comes standard with reverse polarity protection, transient suppression, thermal overload protection and optical isolation.
MoviTHERM has designed the MIO-AX8 module to be future-proof as well. The module’s firmware can be upgraded in the field. Just download the latest firmware from our website and use the built in web browser interface to apply the update. You will have to enter a password for this, of course!
Easy Configuration via built-in Web-Server
The MIO Series Intelligent I/O module comes with a built-in web-server for easy configuration. No additional software is needed to setup your thermal monitoring system when using the MoviTHERM MIO I/O module. The web-server interface is intuitive. Simply add the IP address of each of the connected FLIR cameras. Select the desired alarm logic from drop down menus. Save your settings to the non-volatile memory of the MIO Series Intelligent I/O module and start monitoring instantly.
   
Intelligent & Packed with Features
The MoviTHERM MIO Intelligent I/O module is based on a powerful ARM© microcontroller architecture. When the module powers up, it automatically looks for all configured cameras on the network and connects to them. You can choose between different temperature monitoring modes, using drop down menus. Select either MIN, MAX or AVERAGE temperature readings to be monitored. There is also a global smoothing filter available, in case your temperature signal fluctuates too much. This averaging filter is useful to help avoid false alarms in flame or oven monitoring applications, for example. The module monitors each camera and evaluates the temperature reading several times a second. Even with the averaging filter enabled, the monitoring speed is still once per second (1Hz).
- Alarm monitoring based on MAX, MIN or AVERAGE temperature readings
- Configuration of Camera and I/O module via web-server
- Receive Alarm Images via Email or FTP
Examples of Use
Digital Output Channels:
- Alarm Signaling: Activate alarms for temperature fluctuations, equipment malfunctions, or critical events detected by thermal cameras.
- Equipment Control: Regulate ventilation, cooling, or machinery based on temperature thresholds to maintain optimal conditions.
- Status Indication: Illuminate indicator lights to provide visual feedback on equipment status, facilitating quick identification of abnormalities.
4-20mA Transmitter Channels:
- Data Logging & Analysis: Transmit monitoring data for analysis and trend analysis, enabling informed decision-making and predictive maintenance.
- Remote Access & Control: Allow remote monitoring, adjustment of settings, and alarm response from anywhere with internet connectivity.
- Integration with External Systems: Integrate with SCADA or PLC systems for synchronized operation and optimal performance.
Do you need to monitor more than 7 cameras? – No problem!
Just add more modules to your system. With each module added, you can monitor seven additional cameras. There is no limit to how many modules you can add. Adding a module also provides 8 additional digital outputs for alarming as well as eight additional current loop outputs (4 to 20mA). Connect the current loop outputs to your existing plant monitoring system for trending, data logging and other monitoring needs.

Web Interface
 Sample Camera Configuration |
Easy Configuration via built-in Web-ServerThe MIO Series Intelligent I/O module comes with a built-in web-server for easy configuration. No additional software is needed to setup your thermal monitoring system. The web-server interface is intuitive. Simply add the IP address of each of the connected FLIR cameras. |
 Sample Configuration |
The Script Commands TabAfter the camera settings have been entered and saved, the next task is to set up the script commands that create the intended system responses. The Script Commands tab is used to configure the commands configuration. |
 Command pull-down menu options |
Command OptionsYou can customize the outputs (digital and analog) for each camera. For instance, if you have four regions of interest in one camera, you can assign two analog and two digital outputs to each region, each with its own alarm threshold. Alternatively, you can use the analog 4 to 20mA outputs for external monitoring or control. If you need more outputs, simply add another MIO I/O module to expand your system. |
 The Debug Tab shows the current output state of each MIO Board output channel, and the DIP switch states |
The Debug TabAfter the configuration has been defined, the Debug Tab provides a convenient, interactive window into the real-time operation of the MIO Board. Using the Debug tab, you can observe the current status of all output channels and DIP switches at a glance. You can use this tab to validate output channel operations. |
