The Didactum Monitoring System 550T is the flagship of Didactum’s IP-based monitoring solutions. It has been designed for organizations with the highest demands in IT infrastructure monitoring. With its state-of-the-art architecture, flexibility, and enormous scalability, the 550T delivers a powerful platform suitable for complex data center monitoring projects as well as distributed server room monitoring solutions in medium-sized enterprises.

In today’s era of digital transformation, where system availability defines competitiveness, the Didactum 550T provides everything required for modern, reliable, and secure monitoring. The system combines rack monitoring, sensor integration, alerting logic, data logging, and full support for standard protocols such as SNMP monitoring, Modbus TCP integration, and MQTT monitoring.

Comprehensive Monitoring Functions

The Didactum Monitoring System 550T is an advanced monitoring controller with extensive connectivity for Didactum sensors. Organizations can capture a wide range of physical and security-related parameters: from temperature monitoring in the server room and humidity control to door contacts, smoke detectors, and vibration sensors. In highly sensitive infrastructures, this broad sensor integration provides a complete overview of all critical environmental and operational states.

The system supports a wide variety of digital and analog ports, relay outputs, CAN bus extensions, and more. Up to 1000 logical elements can be configured with individual rules, making the 550T not only a monitoring tool but also a platform for sophisticated automation and alert strategies.

Scalability for Large Environments

The scalability of the Didactum Monitoring System 550T becomes particularly valuable in extensive data center architectures. With its eight ports for analog sensors, eight inputs for digital contacts, and CAN bus expansion, it can be continuously extended with additional modules and sensors. This allows organizations to establish a centralized monitoring platform for large infrastructures without relying on proprietary systems.

The 550T is therefore the ideal choice for enterprises requiring centralized monitoring of multiple racks, server rooms, or sites. With the ability to connect hundreds of sensors, it guarantees transparent and reliable data center monitoring with the highest level of detail.

Network Integration and Open Standards

The 550T consistently relies on the support of open protocols. SNMP monitoring ensures seamless integration into NMS platforms such as Nagios, Zabbix, PRTG, or CheckMK. Modbus TCP integration bridges to building automation, enabling inclusion of climate control, power supply, and security technologies. In modern IoT scenarios and cloud architectures, the MQTT monitoring interface provides maximum future readiness and integration capabilities.

This open approach differentiates the Didactum Monitoring System 550T from isolated solutions. Companies can consolidate their IT and building technologies into a unified platform, merging data from diverse sources. This creates a central control and monitoring hub for all components of critical infrastructure.

Alerting and Intelligent Automation

The 550T offers a comprehensive and highly sophisticated alerting logic. Administrators can freely define events and create tailored escalation mechanisms. If rack temperature monitoring exceeds its threshold, the system can instantly send an e-mail or SMS, trigger a relay output, and forward an SNMP trap to the management system.

This flexibility enables administrators to link automated actions directly to conditions. A fan, security siren, or external alarm system can be automatically activated. This automation makes the Didactum Monitoring System 550T a platform that not only reports issues but also actively mitigates them.

Remote Monitoring Solution

The browser-based interface of the Didactum Monitoring System 550T is independent of external software and accessible worldwide via internet. Thanks to encrypted communication, authorized users can access all sensor data and alerts in real time from any location.

With real-time dashboards, reports, and long-term analysis functions, the system is perfectly suited for international IT departments. The remote monitoring solution is particularly valuable when multiple data centers or sites require centralized monitoring.

Data Logging and Compliance

The 550T includes an integrated data logger that continuously records all sensor values. Historical trends can be visualized through the web interface and exported for audits or compliance reporting. Standard formats such as CSV or XML are supported, allowing data to be imported into Excel or other monitoring tools.

This is especially important for companies in regulated industries such as banking, insurance, or energy supply. The system not only ensures reliable server room monitoring but also provides the necessary evidence for external audits and certifications.

Technical Specifications

The Didactum Monitoring System 550T is designed for rack installation with a robust 19-inch chassis and offers the following interfaces and functions:

• Eight ports for analog Didactum sensors
• Eight digital inputs for door contacts, relays, or alarm signals
• Two 12V outputs for audiovisual alarms
• CAN expansion port for additional modules

Use Cases

The 550T is suitable for numerous real-world monitoring scenarios:

In data centers, it monitors temperature, airflow, and access control for multiple racks simultaneously. In industrial environments, it integrates sensors for factory halls and power distribution. Telecommunications companies deploy it for server room monitoring across distributed sites. Thanks to remote access and VPN options, the system is also suitable for service providers and outsourced monitoring operations.

The Didactum Monitoring System 550T represents the most advanced form of IT infrastructure monitoring. With its extensive sensor capacity, open standards support, and modular expandability, it is a central tool for companies with the highest demands for availability and security.

Whether in sensitive data center monitoring environments, server room monitoring, or in integration with climate and building technologies – the 550T delivers the capabilities to safeguard any infrastructure. With Made-in-EU quality, a compact 19-inch design, and German-language support, it is a long-term solution for professional users.

How does the system detect water leakage?

The system detects moisture through point water sensors or water leakage cables installed extensively in raised floors or under equipment. Even small amounts of water immediately trigger alarms.

How will I be alerted in case of emergency?

The 500T offers flexible alerting options: emails, SNMP traps, SMS via LTE module, or phone calls. Additionally, optical and acoustic alarms can be activated.

Is the system suitable for large facilities?

Yes, thanks to scalability and support for CAN and Modbus extensions, numerous sensors can be networked. This enables comprehensive monitoring for large production halls or complex infrastructures.
