CSi8DH shown
smaller than
actual size.
The OMEGA® CSi8D is a 1⁄8 DIN size
(96 x 48 mm) digital panel controller
in a rugged benchtop metal enclosure
featuring the big iSeries
color-changing display. The digits
are twice the size of those of
typical 1⁄8 DIN panel meters. The
iSeries meters feature the only LED
displays that can be programmed
to change color between GREEN,
AMBER, and RED at any setpoint or
alarm point. Other options include,
serial communications, MODBUS®,
and Ethernet.
The universal temperature and
process instrument (model “i”)
handles 10 common types of
thermocouples, multiple RTDs,
and several process (DC) voltage
and current ranges. Units can be
reconfigured in the field.

Color Displays
The OMEGA® i/8, i/16, and i/32 are
the first complete series of 1⁄8, 1⁄16, and
1
⁄32 DIN process control instruments
with totally programmable color
displays.The
display can be
programmed to
change color at
any setpoint or
alarm point.

Embedded Internet
The OMEGA
®
iSeries devices can
connect directly to an Ethernet
network with a standard RJ45
connector and can send and receive
data in standard TCP/IP packets.
(Please specify EI or C4EI option.)
The iSeries devices can serve Web
pages over an Ethernet LAN or even
over the Internet, making it possible
to monitor and control a process
through a Web browser (such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer) from
anywhere in the facility or anywhere
in the world.
Remote Control
For example, using an CSi8D Series
temperature controller to control a
heater, an engineer can monitor the
temperature, change setpoints or
alarm points, turn the heater on and
off, or make other modifications from
anywhere on the local network or
anywhere on the Internet. The Web
pages are easily customized, and
secure, password-protected access
to the devices is easily controlled.
And it requires absolutely no special
software on the engineer’s computer
to view the data and “supervise”
the controller—nothing other than a
Web browser.
E-Mail and Alarm
In fact, the iSeries controller can
even send an e-mail to the engineer
(or anyone he or she chooses)
about an alarm condition or to
update the status. Leveraging the
technology of the Internet, the
engineer could receive a message
from the iSeries controller on an
Internet-enabled pager or cell phone.
Most remarkable is that all this
can be accomplished without a
computer. The OMEGA
®
iSeries
device (meter or controller)
connects directly to the Ethernet
network—not to the serial port
of a computer functioning as a
“server” and “master” to “slave”
instruments connected through
serial communications. The
iSeries devices are also available
with RS232, RS422, RS485, and
MODBUS serial communications
(specify the C24 option.) In fact, the
iSeries instruments are the first of
their type that include all these serial
protocols on one device, selectable
from a menu.
Get Internet E-Mail Notification of
Alarm Status on a Web-Enabled Phone
or PDA.
Internet Appliances
With the EI option, these small
1
⁄8 DIN and 1⁄16 DIN instruments are
stand-alone Web servers. The
Ethernet and Web server capability is
actually embedded in the device. (The
smallest 1⁄32 DIN size device must be
connected to an external iServer.)
The OMEGA® iSeries device is
assigned an IP address on the
network and can also be assigned
an easily remembered name such as
“Heater1”. In fact, the device could be
assigned an authorized IP address
from an Internet Service Provider and
function as a Web server delivering
whatever specific information is called
for. (For an example, please see
www.newportUS.com/iserver.)
The iSeries devices work well with
conventional industrial automation,
data acquisition, and control
programs, as well as with Microsoft
Visual Basic and Excel. OMEGA®
provides free software and demos
that make it fast and easy to get up
and running with many applications.

representations. The 7-segment LED
characters found on most instruments
are adequate
for presenting
numbers, but
not letters.
