After yesterdays post on the differences between RS232 and RS485, we have been asked a few times why RS485 is more noise immune. It is because RS485 uses a differential signalling method. Here’s how it works, and why it’s effective: 🔗 Differential Signalling in RS485: RS485 uses two wires to carry a pair of signals that …
RS232 and RS485 are standards for serial interfaces that each specify the transmission media and a defined set of logic levels, data rates and timings. These are some of the oldest serial interfaces around, yet they are still very widely used in control and measurement equipment, mainly due to their simplicity and low cost. RS232: …
Senquip Cloud API V2 Senquip is pleased to announce the availability of an updated self-service API. The Senquip Cloud API allows you to seamlessly integrate with the Senquip platform, providing real-time access to asset data and to streamline the management of multiple devices from a central platform. Whether you need to track performance, manage diagnostics, …
Senquip devices can power external sensors even when input power is disconnected. The QUAD can generate an output voltage from 5V to 25V, and the ORB 12V; both from the internal 3.7V backup battery. We are often asked how this is possible. Senquip uses a boost converter, also called a step-up converter, that converts a low …
Senquip devices that power external sensors can also actively monitor the supply voltage and current? 💡 If the supply voltage starts to drop, it may indicate that the supply is overloaded. 💡 A drop in current could point to a failing connection. 💡 A sudden current increase could indicate a short circuit. By simultaneously supplying …
This week I was interfacing an RFID card reader to a Senquip device, and I came across expressions in the manual like “inform type serial” – essentially meaningless. They made me think of the term “word salad”, a phrase used often in a recent election. I realised that without good instructions, a Senquip device is little more …

Real-time drill depth measurement is essential for optimising drilling operations. By accurately monitoring drill depth, operators can: 🎢 Enhance Operational Efficiency: Ensure the drill bit operates at the correct speed and pressure for the formation, reducing equipment wear and minimizing downtime. ⛰ Improve Geological Data Collection: Accurately correlate geological data with specific depths, aiding in …
In the world of automotive and heavy machinery, the terms CAN Bus and J1939 are often incorrectly interchanged. What exactly sets them apart? 📞 CAN Bus (Controller Area Network): Think of CAN Bus as the telephone system that connects different parts of a vehicle. It’s the physical wires and the way in which messages are communicated, …
The 4–20 mA convention was born in the 1950s out of the earlier highly successful 3–15 psi pneumatic control signal standard which had the same features of being able to power some remote devices and have a “live” zero. With the advent of faster, networkable protocols, why has a 1950s protocol persisted? 🔌 In so …
Rekarma, Senquip distributor for Turkey are finding opportunities in control and monitoring of agricultural equipment. Cenk and Emre recently started installing Senquip ORBs on frost fans. The ORB enables remote start, stop of the equipment, and remote monitoring of ambient temperature, location, fuel level, engine hours, rpm, fault codes, and the built in accelerometer assures …
One of our very first customers used a Senquip ORB to detect movement in bridges. The application was solar powered and required a sensor that needed 5V power. The ORB can produce 12V at night by boosting the internal backup battery, but the customer had to use an external 12V to 5V converter which was frustrating. When …
Did you know that Senquip devices can communicate with each other over large distances? One Senquip device can request and receive data from another device. A pump could request water level from a remote tank. Two flow meters could compare values to detect a leak. Many devices could request weather information from a single weather station. …
A customer recently got caught out when interfacing to an engine controller with Modbus. The data to be read was shown with register numbers 400001 onwards. Of course, in Modbus land, 400001 means the data is contained in a holding register (4) and the register number is 1 (00001). Register 1 has address 0 and a …
