The Didactum Monitoring System 50T is a compact and reliable solution for entry-level professional server room monitoring. Especially in smaller IT environments, corporate server rooms, or edge sites, it is crucial to continuously keep an eye on physical environmental parameters. With the 50T, companies ensure that basic factors such as temperature monitoring, humidity control, and the integration of additional Didactum sensors are always guaranteed. This creates a solid foundation for IT infrastructure monitoring that can be expanded as needed.

As an IP-based device, the system is fully network-capable and supports open standards such as SNMP monitoring, Modbus TCP integration, and MQTT monitoring. This allows the 50T to be easily integrated into existing monitoring and network environments. In addition to classic environmental parameters, it enables broad sensor integration for data centers, including door contacts, smoke detectors, and motion detectors. With up to 100 possible sensor connections, the system offers flexibility even for growing infrastructures.

Foundations of Basic Protection

The Didactum Monitoring System 50T enables IT managers to implement reliable basic protection. This primarily includes continuous IT temperature monitoring, humidity monitoring, and the integration of security sensors for early detection of potential risks. The complete solution therefore meets the central requirements of modern data center monitoring concepts. Through a user-friendly web interface, all sensors, thresholds, and alarm chains can be individually configured.

Sensor Integration in the Didactum 50T

The strength of the system lies in its simple integration of sensors. Out of the box, the following sensors can be combined:

• Didactum temperature sensor for precise monitoring from –40 °C to +100 °C (AutoSense detection)
• Didactum humidity sensor with ±3% RH accuracy, including dew point and frost point calculation
• Integration of smoke detectors for early fire detection and safety monitoring
• Optional door contacts, motion detectors, and other Didactum sensors

All sensors are configured directly via the web interface. With defined thresholds, administrators can trigger alerts and individually determine alarm chains. This makes the system particularly suitable for small to medium-sized companies looking to start with a flexible yet professional monitoring solution.

Alerts and Escalation Logic

The Didactum Monitoring System 50T supports a broad range of alerting methods. When a measurement reaches a threshold or exceeds critical limits, an immediate notification is sent. Supported channels include:

• E-mail (including TLS/SSL encryption)
• SNMP traps for centralized monitoring environments
• Optional SMS or voice notification via GSM/LTE module
• Audible and visual alerts via relay outputs (sirens, lights)

Escalation levels allow administrators to define logical alert workflows. For example: first an internal alert via e-mail, after 10 minutes escalation to the technical management via SMS, and if the issue persists, activation of a siren. This flexibility ensures adaptability and makes the system a central tool for IT infrastructure alerting.

Remote Monitoring Solution

The web-based user interface enables configuration from anywhere – whether in the office, at home, or when working remotely. Administrators can access real-time values, generate reports, and apply configuration changes instantly. With its remote monitoring capability, the 50T provides companies with location-independent control over server room monitoring. The network-based architecture ensures that those responsible always remain informed.

Integration into Existing IT Systems

The 50T integrates seamlessly into existing IT and security infrastructures. With support for established standards such as SNMP, Syslog, and SMTP, it can be easily connected to tools like Nagios, Zabbix, PRTG, or CheckMK. Integration into building management systems is possible through Modbus TCP. For IoT and cloud environments, the MQTT monitoring interface ensures future compatibility and expansion.

Data Logger and Compliance

An integrated data logger ensures that all measured values can be historically recorded and analyzed. These records are not only useful for optimizing IT operations but also play an important role in audits and regulatory compliance. Export functions to CSV or XML formats make it easy to integrate alarms and reports into external analysis tools.

Practical Application Areas

The Didactum Monitoring System 50T is used in a wide range of scenarios:

• Server rooms of small and medium-sized companies
• Data center monitoring as an additional subsystem
• Industrial facilities with climate control and environment monitoring requirements
• Basic IT infrastructure protection for companies with compliance requirements
• Smart buildings through MQTT integration into IoT structures

In all scenarios, the system impresses with its flexibility, user-friendly operation, and reliable alert functions.

With the Didactum Monitoring System 50T, companies receive a compact, scalable, and powerful platform for IT infrastructure monitoring. The combination of customizable sensor integration, convenient web management, and flexible alerting makes it the ideal solution for basic IT infrastructure protection. Thanks to its support for open standards, it is future-proof and can be easily integrated into any existing IT or building technology environment.
