Application possibilities

Data Logger MX-8 is dedicated for reading Wireless M-Bus meters, real time logging and analyzing of data. Using GPRS/GSM or Ethernet, logger sends data to remote users / server. MX-8 can also communicate with other controllers and sensors. Device has wide range of optional interfaces and protocols and can read any kind of meters, controllers and sensors equipped with standard protocols. Perfect for smart metering of commercial, residential or industrial buildings.

Device adjustment to client’s needs

If client needs custom made application or special functions, our R&D department ready to help. We can adjust our devices, include special protocols or interfaces to meet client application’s needs. Also we are ready to adjust our device for working with various meters, flow meters (even exotic ones). If you are not sure if our device can satisfy your needs, feel free to contact us anytime.

MX-9 can read: Kamstrup, Sensus, Danfoss, L+G, Itron, Diehl, Apataor and other manufacturer’s meters. Also MX-9 can read and controll other controllers, like Danfoss ECL 300.

Application examples

Below indicated few samples how MX-8 collects the data from Wireless M-Bus meters / sensors and controllers and sends the data to local or remote users using Modbus protocol via GPRS / GSM or Ethernet. There is so many ways to use our MX-8. Starting from smart metering (from WIreless M-Bus meters), heating substation metering, data acquisition from temperature, pressure sensors, data acquisition from weather stations and sensors, chemical monitoring and telemetry, to smart house telemetry, and scientific device monitoring and telemetry.

Technical features

– Calculate the pulses of the accounting devices;
– Read values of meters or sensors (pressure, temperature) through a serial interface;
– Store meters data in memory at selected intervals;
– Track data values and transmit deviation information in the event of deviations from specified thresholds;
– Transmits all existing and collected data to a server on a 2G, 3G, 4G or NB-IoT connection at a specified frequency;
– Perform all these functions without external power.

DATA LOGGER MX-8

MX-8 Data Logger records pulse output signals from various accounting devices: meters, sensors (pressure, temperature), through a serial interface. It records the number of pulses seen during each logging interval and transmits all existing and collected data to a server through 2G, 3G, 4G or NB-IoT connection, on a specified frequency. This data logger is battery powered, suitable for even more applications.
