Data Acquisition & Telemetry


Acquiring, monitoring and communicating energy data

April 2012 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

With the Basic and Flex energy dataloggers, Phoenix Contact offers package solutions that contain all components users require for configuring a data acquisition system. The packages are based on standard industrial components with integrated GSM/GPRS modem. Using the dataloggers, all of the relevant data for energy supply, volume flows, as well as purchased volumes of compressed air and water in machines, plants, and buildings can be acquired, combined and processed. This data is transferred to higher-level energy data acquisition systems in a standard format.

When compared to the Basic package, the Flex datalogger solution can be expanded to include I/O modules of the Inline automation system. Both datalogger versions are suitable for many application scenarios in a wide range of industries. Programming know-how is not required when commissioning and configuring the systems and the preinstalled configuration program can be opened and operated with any standard Internet browser. All of the parameters can be edited in data input screens.

The Flex datalogger package allows direct communication with an MS SQL database via GPRS or Ethernet. A configured database is required in this case. After configuration has been completed, the project parameters can be backed up on a PC. If a device has to be replaced, then the project parameters are written back to the datalogger.
