Capricorn FLX 420 Integrates to SCADA System

 

Thanks to Muhammad Atif Sheikh for tagging us in his LinkedIn post. Sheikh, a SCADA & EMS Engineer with K-Electric in Karachi, Pakistan, posts: “Working on testing and integration of Capricorn FLX Weather Station with Spectrum Power SCADA Systems.”

The company purchased a “fully-loaded” Cap FLX 420 for a power utility. Their weather station includes Wind Speed & Direction, Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, plus additional sensors Solar Radiation and Tipping Bucket Raingauge. For monitoring they have included all options: 4-20 mA signal interface, Weather MicroServer, Weather Display, and WeatherMaster Software.

CWS 420 models are popular professional weather stations with 4-20 mA output for industrial interface to PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems. All 420 weather stations include meteorological Sensors (various all-in-one and modular sensor systems available) and a weatherproof enclosure with 4-20 mA converter modules, power supply, and AC surge protector.

Additionally, real time monitoring, data logging, and graphing are available with a stand-alone Weather Display Console and/or Weather Master Software. The Weather MicroServer can also be connected to offer Internet-ready data as well as additional industrial protocols.

School Invests in Weather Station for Hands-On Learning

Image
We are always excited when educators invest in giving their students hands-on knowledge of how weather works, how it’s measured, and how it affects them. South River High School in New Jersey does just that. Last year, the school installed a  Capricorn FLX Weather Station  on one of their buildings. The Climate Change Club uses the data to report hourly weather readings to the National Weather Service. According to their website: “This will make South River High School a weather hub for pilots to collect current weather conditions of our area. The information that the club collects will also be archived for climate change data.” Administrator Kamila Miazio added that the club “provides a weekly forecast, satellite imagery of CONUS, and severe weather updates. The advisor is working to teach students METAR code (the weather code that pilots use to see current weather conditions for the area), report an hourly automatic observation with the weather equipment, record the data and...
