Doble’s latest addition to Calisto
09/11/2023
Doble Engineering Company, a leader in power grid diagnostic solutions, has announced the expansion of its Calisto Condition Monitoring Platform with the Calisto N1. The new online compact device enables field engineers to proactively monitor and assess the health of critical assets and identify faults before they happen by enabling easy access to important dissolved gas analysis (DGA) and other data from monitors on site.
“The best way to prevent asset failure is to intervene early, but the time it takes teams to install, collect and read the insights from multiple sensors throughout a service territory often slows data interpretation and fault identification,” said Tony McGrail, Solutions Director at Doble Engineering Company. “Our new device makes it so that teams can check the readings directly on site from a variety of devices and immediately act on the data to ensure asset performance.”
The versatile device enables teams to collect, visualise and analyse critical asset health data in one centralised location from any third-party data sources in the field, such as sensors, DGA monitors, power meters and other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that use standard protocols, including Modbus and DNP3, as well as any Doble Calisto DGA device, Doble Calisto T1 or Doble IDD modules.
Beyond data visualisation, engineers can easily integrate and overlay values from multiple sources simultaneously and detect hidden correlations, enhancing asset investigations and decision-making.
The built-in webserver makes it seamless to manage user access, alerts, settings and data visualisation for sensors installed in the field. The Calisto N1 is also rugged and designed for harsh environments. In addition, the device provides a gateway to higher level supervisory and enterprise asset management systems, enabling all data to be transferred to supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) or cloud systems to work within the cybersecurity constraints of an organisation.
Doble’s Calisto condition monitoring platform includes a broad range of equipment, from the new data logger to DGA monitors and full multi-gas diagnostics.
