The DLI Watchman® Sprite™ offers the latest technology in online condition monitoring and automated diagnostics. It features Ethernet or wireless IEEE 802.11 networking and seamless integration with DLI and ABB condition monitoring systems.

The DLI Watchman® Sprite™ is a cost-effective network appliance to assess the condition of your plant's important machines. It bridges the gap between portable data collectors and costly continuous monitoring systems.

Never before has it been as easy and affordable to purchase and install an online monitoring system. Sprite's WI-FI wireless technology (currently IEEE 802.11b at 11MB/s) and Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded operating system eliminates cabling cost and allows plug-and-play integration with your plant network.

EMBEDDED POWER

The compact but surprisingly powerful Sprite manages data acquisition, network services, automated machine diagnostics and supports a full range of application software. The heart of Sprite is an industrial-class running Windows® XP Embedded. Onboard nonvolatile memory capacity ranges from 512 megabytes to several gigabytes.

WIRELESS CONDITION MONITORING

Sprite's standard network interfaces include both a sealed RJ-45 connection to your plant's wired Ethernet and an integral 802.11 wireless network adapter. If you need to install Sprite in a remote, hard-to-reach or outdoor location, save time and installation costs by utilizing its wireless networking feature.

TOUGH AS NAILS

Sprite's billet aluminum enclosure was designed to exceed IP-67. It can be submerged in water, operate at 60¼ C (140 deg. F) and can withstand continuous exposure to vibration of 15 G RMS (0-5kHz). Its operating system and mass storage utilize the latest in compact flash high-density technology, offering the ruggedness of solid-state memory.

MODULAR DESIGN

Sprite's rugged and compact enclosure allows installation close to or on the machine under surveillance, reducing lengthy and expensive cable runs. Need more channels or increased performance? Simply add another SpriteMUX™ or CPU.

SpriteDAC™

SpriteDAC is the workhorse of the DLI Online systems. SpriteDAC provides all the data acquisition and networking functions to distribute your online system throughout your plant. The SpriteDAC approach pushes data processing power to the machine level. With its wireless network feature, a Sprite-based online system costs less to install than traditional online monitoring systems.

SpriteMAX™

SpriteMAX is a fully independent online data acquisition and diagnostic system. With its integral online engine software, it can be installed remotely without the need for a local network infrastructure. Connect a broadband modem to it at the remote site to monitor its results or integrate it with your local monitoring system. Vibration and process data, trends, diagnostic results and repair recommendations can be viewed by accessing SpriteMAX with only a web browser.
