OMNI Server

The control center for the OMNI-4000 hardware

The OMNI-Server's eight communication channels transfer data between the computer and the OMNI-4000 hardware. Each communication channel can communicate with up to 32 hardware devices for a total of 256 (8 x 32=256) devices.

OMNI-4000 hardware devices include Power Blocks, Local Environment Monitors, Feed Level Sensors, Manure Level Sensors, OMNI Water Monitors, and OMNI Weather Stations.

The CSA-approved OMNI Server comes with a 30-foot temperature probe for monitoring outdoor temperatures. There are five additional inputs for monitoring temperatures in other areas such as electrical rooms or semen storage coolers.

The OMNI Server has nine alarm relays: one for indicating trouble with the OMNI Server, six for temperature alarms, and two reserved for future use. You can connect external alarm systems or sirens to the alarm relays.

The OMNI Server comes with a backup battery and cable. The battery keeps the OMNI Server operating during brief power failures. There is an internal trickle charger on the OMNI Server that keeps the battery charged.
