AcuLink 810 Data Aquisition Server
V: 1.0 Revised: May. 2019

1. Overview
The AcuLink 810 is an intelligent data acquisition server and gateway that allows users to
collect data from all Accuenergy meters, sensors and other third party devices.
The AcuLink collects and logs time-stamped data from connected downstream devices (se-
rial or Ethernet), and is able to store this data locally in non volatile memory. When using
Ethernet it is possible to push or pull data using HTTP or FTP protocols as well as pushing
data to di󳆁erent web-based energy management systems or any front end software plat-
form. There is no software required for the AcuLink as all con󳆂guration is done from the
gateways web interface.
