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 →

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.
