Remote Electronic Automation Device

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The READ (Remote Electronic Automation Device) developed by Agisco is a versatile data acquisition system that supports multiple interchangeable units on a single serial line using a unified communication protocol. This flexibility allows for the creation of custom monitoring systems.

Connectivity and Integration
The system supports both serial RS-422 cable connections and Agisco's W-PAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) radio link, enabling optimal performance in terms of technology, cost, and ease of installation. It can read various signal types, including current, voltage, strain-gauges, thermistors, PT100, and digital inputs.

Data Management
Data from connected units can be acquired and stored using specially developed software on Windows or Linux PCs, which can be located remotely. A modem facilitates data reading and processing. Additionally, data management is possible through Agisco's web app, OVERSITE.

Performance and Power Consumption
The data acquisition speed varies from one reading per day to over 100 readings per second per channel, depending on the scanner used. The system is designed for low power consumption, with options for battery or solar panel operation, allowing units to be activated at preset intervals to extend operating time.

Modular Configuration
In its radio link setup, each module with the Agisco W-PAN protocol includes 4 analog input channels, 4 digital input channels, and 4 digital output channels for power supply management. The low power consumption of W-PAN units supports an operating time of 1 to 5 years.

System Expansion
Modules come with several serial interfaces, allowing for easy expansion of the monitoring system by adding more modules as needed. In environments with challenging electromagnetic conditions, such as urban areas, W-PAN modules can function as transceivers to extend the system's operational range.

Conclusion
The READ system by Agisco offers a flexible, low-power, and easily expandable solution for remote data acquisition, suitable for various applications and environments.

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.
