The model evoQ4 is a popular magnetic flow meter manufactured by Honeywell (formerly Elster-AMCO); and it is available in pipe diameters 1.5-12 inch. Like many AWWA-style flow meters, the evoQ4 is available with several remote signaling options, including: Encoded and pulse signaling modules for the evoQ4 are detailed in the following Honeywell document: HERE SCADAmetrics … Read More →
SCADAmetrics is pleased to introduce the B202-v.108 Modem — a new release of our non-proprietary modem OEM module that is targeted for use within Radio Telemetry / SCADA Systems! This new modem constitutes a major re-design of our first-generation modem, the B202-v103; and it offers the following new features: 100% compatibility with existing telemetry/SCADA systems … Read More →
In 2012, SCADAmetrics introduced the Model B202 — an industrial Bell 202 modem designed for radio telemetry applications. The B202 is designed to provide external, non-proprietary data modulation/demodulation for a wide range of popular analog telemetry radios, including models from Ritron, Tecnet, MDS, and RF Neulink, and Calamp. An interesting application is the use of Allen Bradley MicroLogix … Read More →
This article describes how to use an EtherMeter to connect a Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge to a SCADA System, yielding a realtime rainfall measurement system that communicates using Modbus, DF1, and EtherNet/IP. This rain measuring instrumentation was a component of the new SCADA System at the DesMoines & Mississippi Levee District (Alexandria, MO). The electronics were … Read More →
The evoQ4 MagMeter by Elster-AMCO Water offers three (3) SCADA signal types: Elster Protocol, Sensus Protocol, and Pulse Output. The EtherMeter is capable of interfacing with each of these methods. … Read More →
The EtherMeter is compatible with the ScanCoder water meter register by Elster-AMCO Water (ABB-Kent). This article details the steps required to connect the two. … Read More →
A new white paper has been posted to scadametrics.com. In this paper, methods are described for connecting a combination of water and gas meters to an automation network. Because Itron/Actaris offers encoder-type signaling, in the form of the “Cyble-Coder” technology — in both their water and gas meters — the Itron/Actaris models are emphasized in this article. Click … Read More →
When connecting a Sensus Omni Meter (T2, C2, R2, or F2) to an EtherMeter, it is important to connect to the proper Omni cable. A potential point of confusion is that the Omni meter features two identical, integrated cables. In order to clarify the wiring, an application note (Application Note #6) has been published on scadametrics.com with wiring … Read More →
