Each sensor network node has typically several parts: a radio transceiver with an internal antenna or connection to an external antenna, a microcontroller, an electronic circuit for interfacing with the sensors and an energy source, usually a battery or an embedded form of energy harvesting. WirelessSensorNetworkMeteorological (and related environmental and geophysical) observations are made for a variety of reasons. They are used for the real-time preparation of weather analyses, for the study of climate, for hydrology and agricultural meteorology, and for research in meteorology and climatology.HMS-METEO systems are able to integrate sensors produced by the major international manufacturers, compliant to WMO advices.HMS-METEO stations can be used as meteorological support for HMS-GEO and HMS-HYDRO systems. Some sensors supported by HMS-METEO can be managed in a WSN system. Meteorological sensorsSeveral types of meteorological sensors are compatible with HMS-METEO system.A lot of accessories are available to customize your HMS-METEO system.• Enclosure: a large selection for all installation requirements.• Supply: to ensure correct “energy charge” to the system.• Stainless steel supports: reliability and durability guaranteed for all types of installation.• Electrical components: to drive better all the sensors and optimize energy consumption.• Installation and maintenance: specialized assistance from Assembly to Z.Accessories for HMS-METEO series Stainless steel supportsA wide variety of stainless steel supports is available, designed and engineered for each type of installation, also in harsh environment.The topology of the WSNs can vary from a simple star network to an advanced multi-hop wireless mesh network. In HMS-METEO series it’s possible to configure 3 types of WSN system, made by different producers; each has its specific potentials, to be considered on an individual basis.Datalogger CR1000Datalogger DT-80METEOROlOGICAl - 1• Temperature and humidity probe• Rain gauge• Snow depth and SWE system• TDR and water content probe• BarometerMETEOROlOGICAl - 2• Anemometer• Radiometer• Evaporation gauge• Eddy correlation systemTypical meteorological unmanned HMS-METEO systemDatalogger CR800CR1000 CR800 CR200X DT-8xSE / DIFF inputs 16/8 (±5V) 6/3 (±5V) 5/- (0-2.5V) 15/5 (±30V)Digital I/O ports 8 4 2 8Digital pulse counters2 2 1 4Analogic outputs3 2 2 yesRS-232 ports 6 4 1 2Multiplexers 4* (AM 16/32 B) 2* (AM 16/32 B) - 5 (CEM20)WSN supported -(*) using different reset and clock signal to realize parallel acquisition sessions.HMS-METEO data acquisition system based on different data-logger:• Campbell Scientific CR-series• DataTaker DT-8x seriesIs convenient to use multiplexer to increase the number of sensors connected to a data-logger by signal cables, and there are several possible configurations to maximize the type and the number of sensors connected to a single data-logger. Each type of data-logger can support different multiplexer (see table below).WSN CAMPBELL WSN XBOW WSN E-SENZADatalogger compatibilityCampbell ScientificCampbell Scientific / DataTakerCampbell Scientific / DataTakerPower supply internal internal / external internal / externalAnalogic outputs ? ? -Radio frequency 868 MHz (Europe) 868 MHz / 2.4 GHz 2.4 GHzGateway proprietary on SDI-12TinyOS (open source) ASCII on RS-232ASCII on RS-232/EthernetModBus on EthernetThanks to its experience in monitoring networks integration, since 2003 Hortus srl has designed, implemented, installed and maintained its own automatic environmental data acquisition systems (HMS-Series), based on Campbell Scientific data-logger, building the best technical solution for the customer’s needs.Being aware of the importance of having available data in real time, particularly during environmental crisis, like floods or landslides reactivation, our systems are equipped with redundant transmission system (standard IP using GPRS,WI-FI and Ethernet network, radio UHF, satellite connection).For data management, Hortus has designed a web platform that allows access, display and analysis of data from active monitoring systems. Hortus srl has more than twenty-year experience in the production of customized software for data acquisition and management collected by monitoring networks. The project of the first multi-protocol data acquisition installed in 1987 following landslide event of Val Pola, Valtellina, Italy. Since 1999 Hortus has dealt with the design, implementation and management of the web platform www.laghi.net, which is a recognized reference for the hydrological monitoring of the Italy’s northern region lakes.Environmental monitoring systemHortus srlvia Caboto 8/b 20025 Legnano (MI) - ItalyTel +39 0331 93.60.00 - Fax +39 0331 93.60.80e-Mail sales@hortus.it - www.hortus.it
