How Many Nodes Do I Need for My Equipment

Understanding the Right Number of Nodes for Optimal Equipment Monitoring
When it comes to equipment monitoring, the number of nodes required depends on the assets you want to monitor. At Volta Insite, we provide scalable solutions to help you efficiently monitor and manage your critical assets. In this FAQ, we’ll explain how to determine the right number of nodes for your system and how Volta Insite can work with you to ensure optimal performance.
A: The simple answer is: you need one Node and one VI Module per critical system being monitored.
Each Node is designed to be a data collection point for your equipment, capturing essential information to ensure that your system runs efficiently. The VI Module works alongside the Node to provide real-time data and insights. These combined technologies allow Volta Insite to deliver a seamless monitoring experience, enabling you to keep your assets performing at their best.
Determining the Number of Nodes for Your System

The number of nodes you need depends on the scope of your monitoring. Here's how you can approach the process:
#1: Identify the Critical Assets
Start by identifying the equipment you wish to monitor. Critical assets that impact your operations should be prioritized. Whether it’s an HVAC system, electrical equipment, or machinery, each of these assets needs its own Node and VI Module.
#2: Scalability of Node Systems
Volta Insite’s Node systems are scalable, allowing you to start small and grow as your monitoring needs expand. If you begin with a few nodes and decide later to monitor additional assets, it’s easy to add more nodes and modules. This flexibility ensures that Volta Insite can support your needs, whether you're monitoring a single system or a large network of assets.
#3: Customized Consultation
Our team at Volta Insite will guide you through the process of selecting and setting up your nodes. During this consultation, we will help you determine which assets are most critical to your operation and assist you in making the right choices for your monitoring system. Our goal is to ensure that you only install the nodes you need without over- or under-provisioning your system.
