looking for modbus data logger.

briana banks · Oct 11, 2009

Hi All

I'm looking for a computer/device that operates as a data logger that can be attached to a cabin front door. has 15 pin serial port for input and usb port for data extracting and configuration. Something that has already the operating system and the data logging software.
the device should be able to store data for 4 weeks continuously from many devices @ 1 sample/sec rate.

Thanx

tough commercial application, especially if you need battery power. Maybe there's something here:

A Fluke Hydra data bucket will meet many of your needs
21 channel, will record down to one second and less, has software to interface with computer, download data via CSV file. I have two 1995 era.

Depending on # of sensors you may have a hard time getting 4 week storage. Why 4 weeks - can you download at more frequent interval?

I think I would call Fluke and see what they have.

maybe this?

I've used this device ("RemoteCom") once, and it worked great. Not sure if it meets all of your criteria, but as a modbus datalogger, it was easy to implement.

I've been quite happy with the Logic Beach IntelliLogger for this kind of application...

Has serial (9-pin), USB, and CF card for data so you can put a 4 gig card in there.
Here's some math on your data rate.
10 devices * 10 bytes each device * 1 second = 100 bytes / sec
At that rate, your 4 Gig card will last 40 million seconds, or 66 days.

IntelliLogger looks suitable. usb for extracting data to pc and configuration. but i dont need the I/O channels.
The serial port for input on modbus protocol is enough.
I need to lower the cost as i need at least 10 such devices.

Didn't know about your cost concern, did you know about their lower cost product?

Also, how about a Red Lion Data Station Plus?
