acquisition module

Most of our modules accept vibrating wire, strain gauge, potentiometer, thermistor, and 4-20 mA inputs. You specify the mix when ordering, and we configure the channels accordingly. If the sensor puts out a small voltage or resistance change, it usually works. For anything unusual, we can look at the datasheet together and adapt the front-end.

The basic models give you an RS-485 or Ethernet port. You can connect that to a local datalogger or a cellular router. We also have modules with an integrated modem option if you prefer one box. The protocol is either a simple ASCII string or Modbus RTU, so you can push data into pretty much any SCADA or cloud platform.

Yes, that is a big part of what we do. You might need a module with 12 vibrating wire channels and two digital I/O for triggering. Or you want the unit to calculate a weighted average across several sensors. We usually ask for a one-page description and then quote the NRE and lead time. Most custom logic is done in firmware, so it does not add weeks to the schedule.

Standard enclosures are rated IP65. Inside you have conformally coated circuit boards, so humidity and light condensation are not a problem. For corrosive environments or very wet conditions, we offer a higher IP rating with better gaskets and a breather vent. Temperature-wise, the electronics work from -20°C to 60°C, and we can stretch that with heating or cooling on request.

We usually start with a call or an email where you describe the sensors, the site, and how you currently collect data. We then suggest a module configuration and share the communication protocol document. You can test integration with a simulator before the hardware ships. After deployment, we can remotely check the setup if you provide a network path.
