Environments - Remote Weather Station Monitoring

Overview

As human civilization has advanced, environmental pollution has increased, making it critically important to forecast rainfall and take necessary preventive actions. A meteorological observation controller typically includes a Power Supply Unit (PSU), a solar battery system for remote areas, various sensors, controllers, and other meteorological equipment. The next challenge is connecting all these components and collecting data from remote areas to the monitoring center.

Challenge

The customer requires an intelligent Station Monitoring Solution to address the daily challenges of monitoring and identifying weather patterns at remote weather stations. The system must be reliable and capable of operating in harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures, fog, and high humidity, while connecting various equipment like controllers and sensors.

Key Needs for Smart Gaming Machine:

  • Robust Design: Operate reliably in harsh environments with high humidity and a wide range of temperatures.
  • Rich Interfaces: Support a variety of interfaces to connect different types of equipment, such as controllers and sensors.
  • Enhanced Service: Provide reliable and secure data transmission to monitor remote sensors in real-time.

Solution

Winsonic NE2201-140 with Wi-Fi was chosen for this project due to its excellent performance in harsh environments, which has satisfied the system integrator. Its numerous interfaces, including 1 RS232, 1 RS485, 2 DI, 2 DO, and Wi-Fi, allow for various connections to all system equipment, such as controllers, sensors, and IP cameras. The sensors monitor and report all necessary information in real-time, enabling engineers to identify early weather-related warnings. The wireless link provides maintenance-free and reliable connectivity, ensuring that data on wind detection, ambient temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and rainfall is transmitted and detected at the control center.

Solution Advantages:

  • Industrial-Grade Construction: Winsonic routers are designed to meet true industrial-grade standards, offering a rugged solution capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions.
  • Reliable Network Communication: Winsonic routers provide reliable and stable data transmission between end terminals and the monitoring center. They support a dual SIM card failover policy to maintain session persistence.
  • Cost Savings: Winsonic helps engineers monitor real-time operation of remote RTUs, respond to faults quickly, and plan for preventive maintenance. Additionally, flexible app and firmware upgrades add new features, enhance security, and maintain compliance with the latest wireless communication standards.
