Description
Dataloggers, Sensors, Systems
Our dataloggers can make and record measurements and control electrical devices. They can function as
PLCs or RTUs, and have many channel types, allowing nearly any sensor to be measured on a single unit.
For example, one datalogger can measure strain on the tower, wind speed and other meteorological
conditions, and power output of the turbine, even while controlling peripheral devices.
The dataloggers are extremely versatile and support a large range of functions and measurements
options, allowing our clients to control how the data are measured and recorded.
Our PC-based support software simplifies the entire data acquisition process, from programming to data
retrieval to network planning to data display. Our software automatically manages data retrieval and
clock syncing from networks or single stations. Robust error-checking ensures data integrity.
Power
Our power supply options are as robust and flexible as our measurement solutions. Remote DC power
options and on-site AC with DC backup power options including UL certification options are available
to support a large range of power demand. Typical power supply options support low to high power
requirements, ranging from 0.1 W to over 100 W.
