Particle monitoring is essential for ensuring safety, maintaining air quality, and meeting regulatory standards. By tracking airborne particulate matter such as PM2.5 and PM10, industries can quickly detect pollution sources, protect equipment, and reduce health risks. Regular monitoring supports early detection of issues, improves operational efficiency, helps maintain cleaner, safer environments, and plays a key role in optimizing filtration systems and reducing emissions.
How to Monitor Particles with TPS Devices
Use a Third-Party Modbus Sensor
AppBlocks and TPS devices offer strong support for third-party Modbus equipment, so almost any RS485 Modbus device can be connected to a TPS unit. Use the Module Tibbit #02 or #05 for RS485 and the Connector Tibbit #20 (or #21) for terminal connections. You will also need to power your Modbus device. Tibbit #05 has a low-power +5V output, which is sufficient for our Bus Probes, but other Modbus devices may have different power requirements.

For Modbus devices with power requirements higher than 5V, you may also supply your own power.
