The EA-1 is a virtual meter allowing connectivity of Ophir’s smart (DB-15) power and energy sensors to automation systems and computers using Ethernet connectivity. It allows remote monitoring and control of the meter via customer custom software, or the Ophir provided PC application.
From sensor directly to automation systems and computers using Ethernet
Powers directly from the Ethernet (POE PD) or 12V power supply
Supports thermal, photodiode and pyroelectric smart sensors
Software support via StarLab application or 'Ophir Ethernet App'
Allows remote monitoring via Telnet, HTTP and UDP protocols
Log power and energy, average, statistics, histograms and more

PC Software & Drivers
This section describes various ways to interface the Ophir meter to your PC as well as the software options available. Check out the datasheet for more details.
The StarLab application together with an Ophir meter turns your PC or laptop into a full-fledged laser power/energy meter. Supports most Ophir laser power/energy sensors. Up to 8 sensors can be displayed at once on one PC. By using the Ophir COM Object, you can control the device from your own application. Supports the Ariel, Centauri, StarBright, StarLite, Juno, Juno+, Nova II, Vega, Pulsar-1/2/4, Quasar, EA-1 and Ariel devices.

Product Feature: EA-1 Ethernet Adapter
The EA-1 Ethernet adapter enables you to connect an Ophir “Smart Sensor” to your Ethernet network. In this video, you’ll get an overview of how you can integrate the EA-1 into your system, and use it to monitor and control your laser sensor remotely.
Introduction to the StarLab Laser Measurement Application
This video gives an overview of the StarLab application and its various functions. Part 1 of a series of video segments teaching you how to use StarLab.
Laser Measurement PC Interfaces
If all your laser measurement work involves a laptop or a PC, rather than a stand-alone meter, one of Ophir's direct-to-PC interfaces could be an ideal solution. These are full-fledged Laser Power and Energy meters, but instead of having a separate on-board display, the PC becomes your display. In this video you will learn about the range of PC Interfaces available from Ophir.
Ophir Laser Measurement Virtual Meters
If all your laser measurement work involves a laptop or a PC, one of Ophir's direct-to-PC virtual meters could be an ideal solution. These are full-fledged Laser Power and Energy meters, and - together with the sensor and Ophir’s powerful StarLab software application - turn your PC into a full-function, multi-channel laser measurement workstation.
In this webinar, you will learn about the range of virtual meters and interface options available from Ophir.
The EA-1 can be powered directly from the Ethernet bus if PoE (Power over Ethernet) is available. If not, it can use a 12 24 VDC standard Ophir power supply.
There are three ways to connect to the EA-1 adapter:
Telnet: Establish a connection using the IP address of the EA-1. The host (e.g., PC) is considered the “client,” while the EA-1 is the “server.”
HTTP: The IP address of the EA-1 should be entered into a regular web browser. This will show a top-level “web-page” with several buttons for accessing lower level pages. Commands can also be sent directly with the HTTP protocol. Client and server status are the same as above (Telnet).
USB virtual COM port: For configuration and initialization only. This can be used to set the IP address for the first time or switch between dynamic and static IP address modes.
IP Address allocation ......................static (DHCP disabled)
The IP address can be set via HTTP, Telnet, USB virtual COM port, or the “OphirEthernetApp” software. See Chapter 2 of the manual for step-by-step instructions for each method.
Yes it can. You can find a good set of guidelines in the following article: Tips using the EA-1 with a PLC. Complete instructions can of course be found in the EA-1 User Manual.
