Data Acquisition Service
Data acquisition is the process of
gathering information in an automated
fashion from analog and digital
measurement sources such as sensors and
devices under test. Data acquisition
uses a combination of PC-based
measurement hardware and software to
provide a flexible, user-defined
measurement system.
Another approach to data logging and
system monitoring would be to use a data
acquisition service with the TriStar.
All the interfacing, programming and
setup are done by the provider. The
service providers collect the data and
put it on a secure website to be
accessed by the customers at their
convenience. This simplifies the
collection and logistics
 of
data acquisition. The providers many
times use their existing cellular or
satellite based networks on their own
terms. No dialing up or wireless
connection needs to be handled by the
customers. They merely use the website
as their data storage. The data can even
be converted to be viewed in a graphical
format, as shown below in a sample
picture from the website. This
makes the information more
understandable to someone who does not
have a technical background. This
“outsourcing” of the data collection can
be very cost effective.Once the data
is stored and accessible on the
internet; it can also be used for many
other purposes. The data can be
downloaded to a local computer for
further analysis. The customers could
also work to “link” the data onto
 their
own website so it would integrate
seamlessly with their own company
website. Contact a data service provider
for more information.
Data logging
Besides real time transfer of information, data logging is often used to
store information about the system for
later retrieval. This can be as simple
as a counter that runs up energy
usage/production, or as advanced as
getting regular measurements of 10
different parameters every 15 minutes.
The TriStar internally stores Kilowatt
hours, Amp hours (total and resetable),
maximum battery voltage and minimum
battery voltage.
In additional to these values, the
RS-232 port can be tapped to take
readings of these figures, as well as
the other parameters in order to be
stored and accessed at a later time.
Analog data measurement can be used on
any system by using a series of wires in
order “tap” different parts of the
system to take readings. The benefit of
using the TriStar is that these readings
are all being performed by the TriStar,
and all that needs to be done is access
this data through the RS-232 port and
store it. This eliminates the need for a
lot of complex measurement hardware like
shunts and analog/digital converters. It
saves money as well as simplifies the
system.
Most commonly, industrial sites use a
PLC to connect many pieces of hardware
together, communicate with them, and
analyze the data. Sometimes PLC’s can
store the data internally in its own
flash memory. The most common interface
used by PLC’s is the MODBUS protocol
over an RS-232 cable. This is what the
TriStar was designed to use as well, so
it is easily adaptable to this type of
environment. Anyone familiar with MODBUS
should be able to easily work with the
TriStar. The complete TriStar MODBUS
specification is available on the
Morningstar website. This will have
everything you need to know about the
TriStar’s data and how to get to it
easily.
PLC hardware is made by Adott.com
Point-to-Point Wireless Transfer
Point-to-Point radios are available that will relay the data connection
wirelessly for around 10-30 kilometers, depending on
geographical conditions and radio specifications.
The difference between these and
cellular modems is that there is no external service
or antenna required. The radios communicate 1 on 1
with each other directly. There is no service fee
required since you are sending from one unit and
receiving with another. Depending on the type of
radio, a FCC license may be required, but there are
several non-license frequencies available. Consult
with a radio specialist for your specific needs.
This type of setup can be handy to use when you need
to communicate with a TriStar in the general
vicinity, but the distance is still prohibitive for
the use of a wired connection
Wireless Cellular Modem
A cellular modem that uses a standard
cellular phone network (paid service) is
another option for communicating with
the TriStar. Most service providers sell
a modem version of their cellular phone
hardware that will allow you to dial up
to a remote site, connect, and transfer
data wirelessly. The cellular hardware
must have an RS-232 port on it to
connect to the TriStar. You can then
contact the TriStar the same way you
would with a landline modem, except you
have the advantage of reaching
installations that do not have hardwired
phone service.
In extremely remote locations, cellular
towers may not yet be available. In this
case, there are satellite modems that
operate the same way, but utilize
satellites in orbit to relay the signal.
Depending on the amount of data and the
frequency of contact, this can be quite
affordable.
Landline Modem connection
If the TriStar can be located at a site
reachable by a land telephone line, a
standard modem is connected to the
RS-232 port on the controller. There are
some specific setup requirements for a
modem to be used in this manner. Please
contact Morningstar for
more details on the modem types and
settings that work most effectively with
the TriStar.
There are industrial grade modems
available that would work well at a
TriStar site location. These are more
durable, run on DC voltage, and have
other features that make them very
functional in remote locations. They are
also sometimes designed with power
consumption as a primary concern, so
that they can confidently be used with
battery based systems.
