5096 Data Transmitter

The 5096 Real-Time Data Transmitter collects, processes, and transmits analog and digital sensor data on events and timed intervals.

Programmable parameters control the collection, processing, and transmission of sensor data.

On board 24 Kbytes data logging can store up to 4,000 event data points or more than 12,000 timed data points.

Plug and Play parameter setup based on EPROM.

50386 Data Collection Unit

The 50386 Data Collection Unit can be configured as a transmitter, receiver, or repeater with ALERT one-way or SCADA two-way radios.

ALERT, ScadaLynx, and MODBUS protocol support. Collects, analyzes, controls, and transmits analog,

digital, serial, SDI-12, and virtual sensor data on events and timed intervals.

On board 3 Mbytes of data logging. Configuration is programmable using the Microsoft

Windows based ScadaLynx Toolbox software.

5400 Satellite Transmitter Application

• Remote sites with no land-based radio coverage Sensors

• Rainfall and water level Telemetry

• Commercial Satellite

• As close to real-time as possible

• Low power consumption, 12v battery

• Economical, keep cost down Deployment

• Standard HydroLynx Packaged Station

Automated Control Systems

50386 DCU at an upstream water level site monitors water level:• Pressure Transducer

• Float switch

When alarm water levels are detected, transmit secure alarm reports.

50386 DCU at a downstream site receives alarm reports transmitted by the upstream water level site and triggers the control:• Flashing roadway signs

• Siren

Flashing Roadway Sign

Upstream water level triggers flashing roadway signs when water flows over roadway.

Automated Siren Warning

Upstream high water level triggers a downstream siren.

Base Station Software

• The NovaStar base station software collects data from multiple watersheds, displays text and graphical reports, and checks for alarms.

• Web page data access of current and historical text and graphical data.

• Alarm warnings with digitized voice dialers, email, and pager notification.

• Siren and low water crossing light status viewing and control from web page.

• Automated data export in text, SHEF, and XML.

NovaStar 5 Software

Multi-user web page access to base station database• No client access software required

• User preferences kept on client workstations

• Client side user interface keeps band width low

SQL database design allow open access to database• SQL replication used to synchronize master database with

backup database servers

Linux operation system• Reliable and robust operating system

• Operating system not subject to Microsoft virus attacks

• Can be installed on virtual servers

NovaStar 5 Software Advantages

Web page user interface to list and edit

Locally hosted database• Data is kept onsite to insure ownership

• Local access to data continues when external internet access goes down

Local database backups• Multiple database servers with synchronized database

• A change in the master database is immediately copied to backup databases through SQL replication

Scheduled database backups• Intranet database backup to local backup servers

• Internet database backup to HydroLynx

NovaStar 5 Data Collection Advantages

All NovaStar servers collect ALERT1 and ALERT2 data Satellite and other agency (COE,USGS) imported from

internet Use serial or network connections to decoders

• A network connection allows a NovaStar server to connect to decoders at remote locations

Data received from all decoders will be blended before filing in the NovaStar 5 master database

In failover mode, data is filed in the local database

Data edit

Run forecast model manuallyor schedule automatic forecasting

Create plot show observed and forecast data

Database reads and writes can be done from any database server• Web page browsers connect to one of the NovaStar 5

database servers to read and write data

User login determines role for database access• Users have unique login names or share a global name

• Login names are assigned to one or more user roles

• A guest role prevents write access to the database

User groups limit access to the database• Stations, sensors, maps, plots, and reports can be limited to

a user group or user name

NovaStar 5 User Access Advantages

Client side user interface• Web page browser user interface requires no training

• User preferences are kept on user workstation

• Browser shortcuts provide quick access to pages

NovaScore feature of database flags significant data• Alarm triggers set data report score values

• Score values highlight data on maps and in data tables

Links on data provide drill down functionality• Edit data reports

• Check point parameters

• Recalibrate data

NovaStar 5 User Interface Advantages

Highlight data background to show increased hydrologic threat

Stack time series data plots

Overlay time series data plots show trends

Plot observed and forecast rainfall

Custom graphic panels show area features and data readouts

Custom Charts show critical levels

Display multiple sensors at sites

Stack time series on charts

Create custom reports

Data can be shared by NovaStar 5 web page Scheduled reports can prepare data for public access

• Reports can be text, xml, html, graphic maps, plots.

• Reports can be pushed to another server

• Reports can be pulled from another server

Public web page hosting• Customized web page hosting with Apache server

• Limit public access to prevent denial of service attacks

• Pull data from NovaStar 5 database for public page display or Google maps

• Create control pages for roadway signs.

NovaStar 5 Data Sharing Advantages

Public map highlights critical data with colored background

Google maps can zoom into area of interest

Click on data readout to show time series plot

Create panels to control remote warning

sites

Your possibilities are endless
