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
