The PowerView Sense module is one of several optional upgrades that expands the monitoring capabilities of the PowerView Event Recorder system.
PowerView Sense (PV Sense) contains an accelerometer and gyro module that easily interfaces with the PowerView Event Recorder system via a simple to install, single-cable Ethernet connection.
The PV Sense module is designed with a small and rugged modular design for flexible and standardized mounting orientations across dissimilar locomotive fleets. For example, PV Sense can always be on the forward cab bulkhead of any locomotive type, ensuring similar sensor calibration across an entire fleet of various locomotive types.
The 3-axis accelerometers and gyroscope produce IMU information that reports X, Y and Z-axis acceleration data, as well as locomotive pitch and roll data.
PV Sense is IP 67 rated and contains both an Isolated 10/100 Base-T PoE Ethernet Port (802.3af/at), AAR-standard M12-8 pin, A coded female connector. The sensor also contains an isolated RS 485 Serial Port for use with an option Ultrasonic Fuel Tank sensor. PV Sense supplies power to the Ultrasonic sensor.
External LED indicators visually convey system health, as well as optional Fuel Sensor health. The system also supports remote firmware updates via the locomotive Ethernet network and interfaces.
