C8 – Modular Control and Data Logging Unit

The C8 modular telemetry unit is primarily designed for controlling technological processes in the water supply industry. Its software supports flow measurement using pulses as well as calculations based on consumption equations, and also controls pumps and blowers, including stand-in units. It features a large number of analog and binary measurement inputs and outputs. It includes integrated PID controllers and allows for data hosting on a server, including full remote configuration of the unit via a web browser.

  • 120 analog and 240 binary data-logging channels
  • 120 user-configurable operating parameters
  • Data measurement and logging at intervals ranging from 1 minute to 24 hours
  • Data memory for 1 million measured values
  • Connection of various types of sensors and probes (current and pulse inputs, 4 RS485 buses—Modbus RTU and FINET, etc.)
  • Controlled power supply for connected sensors in the range of 6 V to 15 V, with 2 separate branches for setting different supply voltages
  • Encrypted data transmission to a server via an internal GSM/GPRS or Wi-Fi module
  • System for warning, informational, and control SMS messages
  • Backup power supply from an internal, automatically recharging battery
  • Modular design allows for easy expansion of the number of inputs and outputs; shared data bus in the DIN rail
  • Self-diagnostics linked to the sending of warning SMS messages and the data server
  • Complete parameterization and firmware upgrades remotely via the server or locally via USB

Description

The C8 modular telemetry unit is designed for monitoring the operation and control of technological processes in the water supply industry. Its software supports flow measurement using pulses as well as calculations based on consumption equations, and also controls pumps and blowers, including standby units. It features a large number of analog and binary data acquisition channels to which various types of sensors and probes can be connected. Each channel can be configured to collect, evaluate, and archive data for a wide range of physical quantities (level, flow rate, volume, temperature, relative humidity, pH, pressure, current, voltage, etc.). The unit enables remote meter readings via data hosting on a server, including full remote configuration of the unit through a web browser. A system of warning, informational, and control text messages (SMS) ensures better monitoring.

Applications

  • Control and monitoring of water supply facilities
  • Control of technological processes
  • Field data acquisition and collection
  • Limnigraphic stations and LVS systems
  • Weather stations
  • Remote meter reading
  • Wireless network data concentrators
