Process monitor

The Sentry process monitor allows up to four channels of input information to be monitored and up to four output relays to operate an alarm, control, motor, pump, and other devices. Each input operates independently and can be either current loop, voltage input, logic input, or “K”-type thermocouple. In addition, a variety of input sensors can be used to meet measurement requirements for speed, level, temperature, pressure, proximity, or any process that is measured by current or voltage sensors. According to the company, each monitor is a standalone unit that doesn't require a PC connection or network dependency.
