The iServer 2 virtual chart recorder and webserver offers an intuitive way to collect and display live
sensor readings through a web-based user interface or by integrating the device into an existing
Omega Link Cloud account. An iServer 2 unit will accept either an Omega Link Smart Probe or two
thermocouples, depending on the model purchased.
The iS2-THB-ST, iS2-THB-DP, and iS2-THB-DTC feature 2 configurable digital I/O and relay ports.
These can be used for a myriad of applications including driving relays or physical alarms. The iServer
2 can also be utilized as an edge controller, with autonomous independent decision-making
capabilities to generate local alarms or provide control outputs based on sensor inputs. A fully
configurable alarm system is available in the web UI to create events and thresholds that will trigger a
notification should those conditions be met. A modern notification system allows users to be notified
via email or text. Omega Link compatible devices, such as the iServer 2, can be added to an existing
Omega Link Ecosystem to provide data anytime, anywhere, by first adding the iServer 2 device to an
Omega Enterprise Gateway account and then adding that account to the Omega Link Cloud.

3.1 Wall Mounting and DIN Rail Assembly
All models of the iServer 2 are wall-mountable and come with an optional DIN rail bracket. The
distance between the two wall-mounting screw holes is 2 ¾” (69.85 mm). To attach the DIN rail
bracket hardware, locate the two screw holes on the underside of the unit and use the two
included screws to secure the bracket in place as indicated in the figure below:

4.1.1 Smart Probe SYNC Configuration
Omega Link Smart Probes can be configured using Omega’s free SYNC configuration
software when connected to a Windows PC using an Omega Link Smart Interface such as the
wired IF-001 or wireless IF-006. When the Omega Link Smart Probe and Smart Interface are
connected to a Windows PC running SYNC, users may click the Refresh button on the
SYNC interface to auto-detect the connected Smart Probe. Once the device has been
detected, the user will be presented with the available configuration options.
4.1.1.1 Important Smart Probe Digital I/O Configuration
To ensure proper operation between the iServer 2 and connected Omega Link Smart
Probe, Smart Probes that offer Digital I/O (DIO) must have the Digital I/O set to
Low
at the Smart Probe level. Setting the Omega Link Smart Probe Digital I/O to Active
Low can be completed using one of the first two methods listed below:
Method 1:
changed the Digital I/O settings, there is no change needed. If the Digital I/O has been
changed, a factory reset can be used to set the Digital I/O back to the default Active Low.
Method 2:

Active Low as shown below.
The factory default setting to the Digital I/O is Active Low. If the user has not

Important:
If the user proceeds with a method that requires the DIO to be manually changed in the
SYNC Inputs tab (Method 2 and Method 3), the user must also ensure the DIO settings in
the Output tab to be set to Active Low for BOTH Outputs. A Factory Reset also sets the
Output DIO to Active Low by default.

4.2 Thermocouple Connection
The iS2-THB-DTC can accept up to two thermocouples. Refer to the thermocouple connector
diagram below to properly connect your thermocouple sensor to the iServer 2 unit.
Important:

PoE or a PoE injector (sold separately). Once the device is powered on, fully booted up, and the
appropriate sensor is connected, readings will appear on the display. To power the iServer 2 using
the DC power supply, plug in the power supply to the DC 12 V port located on the iServer 2. For
instructions on how to power the iServer 2 through the Power over Ethernet feature, refer to section
4.4.3 Power Over Ethernet.

To access the 9 V battery compartment, remove the two screws indicated in the figure below
and gently pry open the battery compartment.
Insert the 9-volt battery and secure the screws again. The battery will serve as a backup
power source in case of a power outage. A fully charged 9-volt battery will allow the iServer 2
to continue logging up to 10,000 data points for a period of 96 hours.
Important:
When the 10,000 logged data points have been exceeded while running on the
backup battery, the oldest logged data point on the Smart Probe will be overwritten
starting from the oldest data point saved on the Smart Probe. A logging interval of
at least 35 seconds or longer will prevent the overwriting of data during the 96-hour
period the battery is in use.
4.4.3 Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
The iS2-THB-DP and iS2-THB-DTC both offer a Power over Ethernet (POE) feature that
provides the device with sufficient power to operate when connected to a PC or router that
supports Power over Ethernet. Use an RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect the output port of the
PoE Injector to the iServer 2. Then use a second RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect the input
port of the PoE Injector to a standard router or PC in conjunction with the PoE injector. When
the assembled PoE Injector is plugged into a power outlet, the device will power on.

From Chart View, users can still access the different sensor channel inputs by clicking the readings.
Live readings will be graphed automatically once the Chart View is enabled. View range and the

7 Adding an iServer 2 to Omega Enterprise Gateway (OEG)
iServer 2 devices can be added to Omega Enterprise Gateway 2.4 (OEG) in a non-internet
environment by adding the iServer 2 to OEG as a device. An active OEG license and access to a
Windows 7, 8, 9, or 10 OS PC is required to download and run OEG. OEG can be purchased and
downloaded from the following link: https://www.omega.com/en-us/oeg
There are two methods to connect the iServer 2 to OEG. The first method requires the iServer 2 to be
set to the default DHCP network setting and requires access to a DHCP-enabled router with an open
port and an RJ45 Ethernet cable. The second method requires Administrator access to the Windows
OS PC running OEG and requires the iServer 2 to be set to the Static IP network setting and the iServer
2 unit to be plugged in directly to the Windows PC.
7.1 Method 1: DHCP Router Method
To add an iServer 2 to OEG using the DHCP router method, begin by ensuring the iServer 2 is set to
the default DHCP network settings (
Step 1:
Step 2:
Connect the iServer 2 unit to a DHCP-enabled router using an RJ45 Ethernet cable.
Ensure the Windows PC that will run OEG is on the same network as the connected iServer
2.

Important:
If the DHCP-enabled iServer 2 unit has been disconnected and moved to a separate
DHCP-enabled, local-area network router or PC, the user must identify the new IP
Address that the unit has been assigned under the local-area network. For models with a
display, the new IP Address will appear on the unit display. For models without a display,
users can access the iServer 2 web UI to check the new IP Address (

7.2 Method 2: Static IP (Direct to PC) Method
To add an iServer 2 to OEG using the Static IP (direct to PC) method, begin by ensuring the iServer
2 is set to the Static IP network settings (
address is set to the preferred address. The Windows PC network settings will need to be
configured to properly pair the iServer 2 and OEG. Follow the steps below:
Important:
Step 1:
Navigate to the iServer 2 web UI and assign a Static IP address to the iServer 2 unit. Then
exit the web UI.
Step 2:
Connect the iServer 2 unit directly to the Windows PC with OEG using an RJ45 Ethernet
cable.

7.3 Configuring Sensing Devices after Pairing with OEG
If a sensing device paired to the iServer 2 has been configured or modified after the iServer 2 has
been added to OEG, the user must reboot the iServer 2 and restart the OEG software to sync with
the configuration made to the connected device.

The iServer 2 Modbus registers are partitioned as listed below in Table 1.
Table 1: iServer 2 Modbus Partition
8.2 Channel Value Registers!
Channel registers range from 0000 to 0063. All registers in this range are read-only. Each
measurement or input consists of 2 registers. The registers are defined as:
NaN is used as an indicator for no measurements, disabled, hardware failure, out of spec, etc. The
NaN value is defined in Table 4.
The iServer2 queries different probes depending on the model. "Probe 0" is for thermocouple
readings only available for -DTC models. "Probe 1" and "Probe 2" are designated for Omega Link
Smart Probes attached to Smart Probe compatible variants of the iServer 2. Each "Probe" has a
maximum of 4 channels (0-3). The Modbus address can be calculated as such:
Floating point value of the measurement if the value is NaN:
0x7f800000: value error
0x7f800001: open
0x7f800002: short
