Description

ADS-300 is an ultra-low power NBIoT/LTE-M End Node with multiple sensor support. The unit incorporates a built-in modem, a USB serial port, 1 digital input/counter, an analog input, an optional 3-axis digital accelerometer, a Coulomb meter, and multiple excitation options for powering and measuring transducers. The device supports the acquisition of up to 8 measurement channels, based on the popular SDI-12 communication protocol and an additional 8 channels, based on the MODBUS protocol. An ultra-low power microcontroller is utilized for data sampling, subsystem activation, and overall system control. The unit incorporates a Lithium Thionyl battery supplying system operation for up to 10 years. The ADS-300 supports SSL, is available for global deployment, and can be used with any major Cloud IoT platform like Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, Amazon Web services, Mosquitto MQTT, etc.

Modes of Operation

Modes of operation include autonomous battery operation or power supply through the USB port for unit configuration. During battery-supplied operation, only the low-power microcontroller is awake. The microcontroller activates the modem during data transfer, as well as other subsystems for sampling and logging.

Data Acquisition

The sampling period and data send rate are user definable. Ultra-low power standby mode followed by frequent data recording and transmission can be selected to fit the application needs while maximizing the battery life.

SDI-12 Serial Bus

SDI-12 is an asynchronous, ASCII, serial communications protocol that was developed for intelligent sensor instruments that typically monitor environmental, structural engineering, and precision agriculture data. Communication is achieved by digital communications. The addressing system allows the data recorder to communicate with several microprocessor-based sensors over a single line. ADS-300 is compliant with the SDI-12 Standard Version 1.2 and supports extended commands for sensor configuration, in terminal mode. ADS-300 can collect data from several SDI-12 sensors for a total amount of 8 measurement channels.

RS-485, MODBUS

ADS-300 supports acquisition from sensors with RS-485 interface, using the popular MODBUS protocol (RTU & ASCII).

Transducer excitation

The unit provides multiple excitation options for measuring transducers. A user-adjustable 5V/12VDC excitation output is available for powering low-power external sensors.

Tilt Sensing

The unit has an optional accelerometer which is used for measuring angle declination.

Coulomb Meter

A user-enabled Coulomb Meter allows for the monitoring of the battery’s consumption.

Setup and Programming

The unit can be programmed locally through the serial by using simple ASCII configuration commands. The command set features commands for configuring scaling and timing parameters.

Enclosure

Plastic enclosure (IP66/68) for in- and outdoor use.

Software

WA Manager is a Microsoft Windows application that can be used to configure all of Infinite’s telemetry products. The configuration is done using a graphic interface with simple selections and entries. The parameter settings are stored and converted to ASCII commands before being uploaded to the target device via the PC USB or serial port.

Features

  • Built in relational database to store configurations.
  • Automatic device recognition.
  • Device user list management.
  • Alarm message list management.
  • Creating, editing and uploading a device configuration. Device configuration is made with simple selections and entries on relative forms.
  • Simple device user and alarm recipient selection with drag and drop functions from a general user list.
  • Retrieve configurations from devices.
  • Device testing and verification of configurations using a control panel.
  • Battery Life Wizard for autonomous devices, calculates the expected battery lifetime according to the selected configuration parameters.
  • Uploading configurations to a target device via PC USB or serial port.
  • Export device configurations to text files containing ASCII configuration commands.
