RE A D Remote Electronic Automation Device

The new READ (Remote Electronic Automation
Device) recently developed by Agisco includes
several types of units interchangeable on the
same serial line (bus) by employing a single
communication protocol.
This suits any request allowing development of
custom-tailored monitoring systems always implementable if necessary.
Our new Remote Data Logger may connect any
of the system’s units by integrating both data
transmission technologies: serial RS-422 cable
connection and/or Agisco’s W-PAN (Wireless
Personal Area Network) radio link. Both skills may
coexist to optimise the READ’s performances under any point of view: technological, economical, easy installation.
Each unit may read several types of signals such
as current, voltage, strain-gauges, thermistors,
PT100, digital input, etc.
By means of Windows or Linux PC, in their minimal configuration and consumption, any data
from every connected unit are acquired and
stored thanks to specifically developed software.
PCs may have a peripheral or remote location:
a modem will manage data reading and processing.

Data can also be managed by Agisco specifically developed web app called OVERSITE.
The speed of data acquisition may range, depending on the scanner in use, from one reading per day through to 100 readings or more per
second for each channel.
Agisco READs are all low power consumption.
When the system is operated from internal batteries or powered by solar panel the units can
be switched on only at pre-set intervals for improved operating time.
In its radio link configuration, each modulus with
Agisco W-PAN protocol is equipped with 4 input
channels for analogic signals, 4 channels for digital input and 4 digital output channels for gauges power supply management.
The consumption of Agisco W-PAN units is so low
to allow operating time of 1to 5 years.
Modules are equipped with several serial interfaces for further extension of the monitoring system by simply adding one or more modules according to requirements.
In difficult environments because of unusual
electromagnetic fields, such as in urban areas,
the same W-PAN modulus may be used as
transceivers to broaden the system operation
distance.
