GEONICA’s Automatic Meteorological Stations for measurement, storage and data & image transmission,

specially designed for Airport installation

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The METEODATA 3000C type Automatic Meteorological Stations aremeasurement, storage and data and image transmission equipment,specially designed for outdoors installation, in remote unattendedareas, with the possibility of building systems or networks of stationscomprising an undetermined number of field stations and one ormore Central Stations for receiving, presenting, storing and optionalend processing of all the information received.

If operating a network using any of the communication options avai-lable (cellular telephone GSM/GPRS, point-to-point radio link, Ether-net connection, etc.), from the Central Station it is possible tomanually or automatically get information from each and every oneof the measurement stations, remotely program all their functionali-ties, manage alarms received and even display the images capturedby one or more of the Digital Cameras, connected to the field sta-tions, on the central server monitor.

To program the 3000C series remote stations as well as to downloaddata and manage all the field stations on a network, the GEONICASUITE software package, developed specifically for such purposes,must be installed on a laptop computer or on the central station ser-ver.

The data and images from the remote stations can also be transmittedto the WEBTRANS Platform, which GEONICA offers on the Internet viaa powerful WEB Server so that each subscriber to the WEBTRANSservice is able to view the parameter graphs and the images capturedin each one of the remote locations of their own stations. Addi-tionally, they can download stored data without having to communi-cate directly with the stations, i.e. by simply accessing the platformwith the corresponding password via their own INTERNET con-nection.

If the subscriber has GPRS or CDMA communication coverage, theWEBTRANS service permits obtaining data in quasi real time, updatinginformation every five or ten minutes if necessary. A demonstration ofsaid platform, in which real data for different types of applications inoperation is shown, can be viewed at http://demowebtrans.geonica.com.

A typical Data & Image Communications Network with optionalINTERNET ACCESIBILITY is showed in the following general dia-gram:

AIRPORT WEATHER OBSERVATION SYSTEM

Connections with the sensors and other external componentssuch as the communication antenna, the solar panel, aradio-modem or satellite transmitter equipment, etc., can op-tionally be made using specific accessible connectors on theoutside of the box or cabinet, which facilitates operation, permit-ting a quick connection that is useful when working with mo-bile or transportable stations.

The 3000C remote units were designed using the highest tech-nology electronic components with a high level of minia-turization and integration, combining the following in a single6 layers circuit board, SMD technology and other conventio-nal components, which are necessary for the specific requi-red functions.

Among the most noteworthy technical characteristics of the3000C are its:

- Ultra low consumption (10 mA in complete work cycle and 1 mA at idle power-saving mode);

- High resolution (via a 20 bit A/D converter);

- VeryHigh data storage capacity (via 64 MBytes of internal memory or optionally 128 MB);

- Total versatility for communications (by cellulartelephone GSM, GPRS, point-to-point radio, Ether-net links, satellite transmitter, etc.);

- Local and remote programming capacity- Possibility to connect all types of sensors with analog

and digital outputs, smart sensors with special proto-col, etc.

The highly advanced technical characteristics of the 3000CSeries remote stations, previously described and enumeratedin detail below, are the result of more than 30 years of GEO-NICA experience in designing and manufacturing this type ofelectronic instrumentation, having also achieved total inte-gration of the new Information and Communication Technolo-gies. For all the aforementioned reasons, it can be affirmedthat our stations offer the highest professional quality requiredwith the important advantage of a truly competitive price.

Input-Connectivity SignalsInput-Connectivity Signals

The 3000C Unit permits connection with any type of sensors,analog or digital, accepting:

■ Voltage signals from ± 2.5 microV up to ± 2,500 mV, extendable up to ± 5,000 mV and other higher ranges.

■ Current Signals in 0-20 / 4-20 mA, etc.■ PTC, NTC and Pt-100 type resistors for temperature

measurement, thermistors, thermocouples, piezoelec-tric sensors, etc.

■ Frequency signals■ Periodic signals■ Pulse counters■ Relay contact (reed type, voltage free, solid state, etc.) ■ Smart sensors with their own communication protocol■ Webcams for taking and transmitting still images

The communication speed can be programmed by the user forbetween 1,200 and 115,200 bauds. Likewise, the parametersfor each serial port can be programmed, locally or remotely,using the TELETRANS software, included in the GEONICA SUITEsoftware package.

Available Communication ProtocolsAvailable Communication Protocols

■ TCP/IP (Telnet, SMPT, FTP, etc.) ■ Short SMS messages to mobile telephones for notices

or alerts ■ GEONICA protocol (TELETRANS Software) ■ SDI-12■ Modbus■ GPS ( NMEA, GLL, CGA, etc.), in case a GPS receiver is

integrated in the station ■ Specific protocol for Smart Sensors, etc.

All of the above as a function of the port used.

Communication Adaptors Communication Adaptors (options available)

�■ Physical cable for PC connection (RS232/USB)�■ GSM Modem (internal)�■ GPRS Modem (internal)�■ Fiber optics (internal or external)�■ Radio-Modem (internal or external)�■ Ethernet (internal)�■ SDI-12 (internal)�■ Wi-Fi (internal or external)�■ Blue -Tooth (internal or external)�■ Satellite (internal or external transmitter)

Internal Clock & Synchronization by GPS ReceiverInternal Clock & Synchronization by GPS Receiver

The new 3000C series stations have a clock circuit and an Inde-pendent watchdog. Optionally, the clock circuit can be auto-matically synchronized by including a GPS receiver, internallyintegrated with the unit’s own electric circuit and connected toan external antenna that receives time and position signals froma constellation of satellites.

This option permits clock precision on the order of nanose-conds, which is very useful for precisely synchronizing the paceof the clocks from all of a series of networked remote sta-tions. Likewise, it permits knowing the position of each one ofthem with GPS precision.

Other General Features:

�■Remote Unit for Data and Image Collection, Proces-sing and Transmission, with MBytes of Flash Nand in-ternal memory (128 MB, optionally) and 20 bitresolution Analog/Digital converter.

All electronics are mounted on a 6 layer, monoplatecircuit board with a high level of integration, totallyweather proofed for tropical environments for pro-tection against humidity and condensation.

�■The station and all the channels can be totally pro-grammed independently, using a locally connectedPC or remotely using communication links such asGSM, GPRS, Radio, Ethernet, etc.

For example, the sampling frequency can be inde-pendently programmed for each channel, for up to25 samples per second, as a function of the desiredresolution; select the calculation periods for the ave-rage, maximum, minimum and accumulated values;determine the data transfer rate, etc.

The 3000C series units can also carry out very diversetypes of calculations including standard deviation ofthe measurements obtained for a specific parameter;Dew Point calculations as a function of temperatureand humidity; adjusting a non-linear response sensorsignal, using a polynomial equation; calculating thepotential evapotranspiration of a crop and even cal-culating the hours of sunlight with certain precisionand without the need to connect a specific sensor forsaid purpose.

It is also possible to use the software to adjust thetransfer constant deviations for a sensor or to cali-brate the zero and the full scale for a channel, pro-duced as a consequence of prolonged temperatureeffects, aging of the transducer or for any other rea-son. This functionality is especially important since itomits the need to replace a specific sensor, maintai-ning the original precision of the measurements.
