Dyacon - Model MS-150 -Weather Station
The Dyacon MS-150 is a preconfigured automatic weather monitoring station that requires no programming or specialized installation services. MS-150 is shipped with control module (data logger) with solar panel, and the following sensors: wind speed and direction (with wind gust and direction averaging), barometric pressure, relative humidity, ambient temperature, solar sensor, and rain gauge. Additionally, the MS-150 features an embedded cellular module, enabling users to request weather reports via simple text messages, providing a dependable and universal interface for weather updates. The station can also be integrated with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or personal computers (adapter and software required) through the Modbus RS-485 slave port. When connected to a cellular data plan, the MS-150 automatically uploads weather data to DyaconLive™ and other data management platforms, facilitating cost-effective and reliable online monitoring, graphing, and analysis.- Preconfigured weather station
