PT-Node Network Adapter for Printing and Data Transfer

PT-Node is an adapter that connects up to two Pharma Test instruments simultaneously to a network using a wired LAN connection or Wifi. This way you can print test results from the instrument via your web browser on any local or network printer. Furthermore, it is possible to transfer the test results from the instruments to external systems in the same network. PT-Node supports PTB 330 and other instruments.

Web Interface

PT-Node is configured through a web interface that you can access through your desktop or mobile browser without installing any software locally. The connection setting for many Pharma Test instruments are pre-defined. You can connect up to two instruments at the same time and they can simultaneously send data to PT-Node.

A small OLED screen shows the network connection status of the device including its IP address. For the initial setup PT-Node creates a WiFi access point to which you can connect from your computer or smartphone to configure your network setting. Both wired LAN and wireless WiFi connections are supported with either static IP addresses or DHCP.

Once this initial setup is performed the display shows which instruments are connected to both channels of the PT-Node. An icon shows that PT-Node is currently receiving data and from which channel. The current date and time are displayed as well.
