The Vaisala CAB100 centralises differential-pressure transmitters, analog inputs and interface components for cleanroom and industrial monitoring with the viewLinc Continuous Monitoring System.
The Vaisala CAB100 is a preconfigured industrial instrument cabinet that centralises differential-pressure transmitters, analog measurement inputs and associated interface equipment for the Vaisala viewLinc Continuous Monitoring System.
Designed for cleanrooms, laboratories, pharmaceutical production and demanding industrial environments, the CAB100 simplifies field installation by integrating selected monitoring components inside one organised, protected enclosure.
Two cabinet sizes are available. The compact CAB100A supports smaller monitoring systems, while the larger CAB100B provides greater channel capacity and supports mixed configurations for more complex facilities.
The CAB100 forms the central interface between field measurement devices and the viewLinc monitoring system. It is particularly useful when several cleanroom pressure transmitters or remote analog instruments need to be collected at one organised location.
| System Layer | Function |
|---|---|
| Field Measurement | Remote transmitters measure differential pressure, humidity, temperature or another configured parameter |
| CAB100 Cabinet | Centralises selected transmitters, analog input channels, interface devices, power components and wiring |
| Facility Network | Transfers measurement records from the cabinet to the monitoring server |
| viewLinc Enterprise Server | Provides real-time trends, alarms, reports, audit trails and centralised system visibility |
| Feature | CAB100A | CAB100B |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet Size | Compact cabinet | Large-capacity cabinet |
| Typical Application | Smaller cleanroom or industrial monitoring installations | Larger facilities requiring more measurement channels or mixed configurations |
| Maximum PDT101 Transmitters | 4 | 16 |
| Maximum Analog Input Channels | 4 | 32 |
| Maximum Safety Barriers | 4 | 16 |
| Maximum Galvanic Isolators | 4 | 12 |
| Communication Interface | Serial port server; vNet PoE interface is available for the applicable PDT101 model | Multiport serial port server |
| Enclosure Protection | IP54 | IP66 and Type 4 |
| Maximum Power Consumption | 20 W | 40 W |
Important: Maximum capacities depend on the selected cabinet model and configuration. Mixed CAB100B configurations are available with limitations and should be specified according to the complete project requirement.
| Configuration | Purpose |
|---|---|
| PDT101 Configuration | Centralised differential-pressure monitoring for cleanrooms and pressure-controlled areas |
| Analog Input Configuration | Connects compatible remote transmitters with current or voltage outputs through the selected input hardware |
| Safety-Barrier Configuration | Limits electrical energy for suitable intrinsically safe measurement circuits in hazardous-area applications |
| Galvanic-Isolator Configuration | Provides electrical isolation for suitable field measurement circuits |
| Mixed CAB100B Configuration | Combines supported instrument types inside the larger cabinet, subject to configuration limitations |
One of the principal CAB100 applications is centralised differential-pressure monitoring in pharmaceutical and high-technology cleanrooms. Multiple Vaisala PDT101 differential-pressure transmitters can be installed in the cabinet and connected to pressure tubing from the monitored rooms.
Analog-input configurations allow compatible remote transmitters to be incorporated into the viewLinc monitoring system. This can support parameters beyond the directly connected Vaisala logger probes, provided the signal type, scaling, power requirements and cabinet configuration are compatible.
Common project considerations include:
CAB100 analog input wiring is not surge protected. According to the installation requirements, analog input wiring must not exceed 30 metres and must not originate from outside the building in which the cabinet is installed.
