In our latest video, Alex Pulido gives an overview of how the Weather MicroServer works. With the ability to interface to any of our weather station models, this powerful communication device lets you access real-time met data from anywhere in the world. The Weather MicroServer is a data logger and powerful communication device compatible with all of our weather stations. It includes a web browser user interface that allows for configuration and displays the current weather readings. The Main Dashboard displays real-time data for the main meteorological parameters, including a wind direction dial with a 30-second standard deviation.  The Auxiliary Screen shows real-time data for additional sensors if connected such as solar radiation and visibility, as well as calculated parameters.  The Trend Screen shows a graph of one or two selected parameters for the current day.  The Latest Measurements tab displays real-time values of all available parameters. It provides Int...

Recent feedback from an industrial customer: “So far the Orion 420 is a big hit. Operators are using the barometric pressure, wind direction, and temp to predict when the big deer bucks will be moving. The analog interface to our controls system worked out very well. You guys did a good job putting it all together for an easy ‘top of the buildings’ install.”   —Engineering Consultant, Kinston, NC Inset: Screen shot of MicroServer Realtime Display For more information: Orion 420™ Weather Station

It's the longest day of the year for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere - hoping for sun and warm weather wherever you may be!

Columbia Weather Systems has developed interfaces for our weather stations to be used directly with common industrial automation systems such as SCADA, DCS, and PLC systems. These systems are used in industrial manufacturing, as well as government facility and infrastructure operations and maintenance. This new application note describes the options with diagrams.
