1 Description Ser[LOG]
The Ser[LOG] system family is a universal, scalable data acquisition, data processing and communica-
tion platform for professional meteorological data collection.
The Ser[LOG] can detect measured values via its serial 6 (isolated) interfaces and the Ethernet inter-
face.
Implemented protocols:
•SDI-12
•Modbus RTU
•Modbus TCP
•NMEA
•Various proprietary telegrams for various sensors, for example for measuring
oAir pressure
oVisibility
oCloud height
oPrecipitation
In addition, the Ser[LOG] has two digital status inputs and two relay outputs. A service interface is avail-
able in the form of a mini-USB port. To the USB Host (2.0), memory stick for data export and selected
Bluetooth stick can be used as a wireless service interface. Both via the Bluetooth stick or via the
memory stick configurations and firmware updates can be transferred.
The Ser[LOG] can be extended by additional AnDiMod 1-3 measurement modules. Each AnDiMod in-
cludes 12 differentially measured analogue and 3 digital channels. The AnDiMod 1-3 modules differ in
their addresses on the Ser[LOG] bus. Upon expansion the sequence of AnDiMod 1-3 must be complied
with.
Up to 3 AnDiMod can be connected to a Ser[LOG]. Thereby, above the channels added via the serial
interfaces and virtual channels, the Ser[LOG] can be extended with up to 36 analogue and 11 digital
channels. A maximum of 60 channels are supported, wherein each respective channel corresponds to
one measured parameter. The Ser[LOG]Plus already includes an AnDiMod module with the address 1
in its housing and can be extended by 2 more AnDiMod modules (address 2 and 3) each extension
offering up to 36 analogue and 11 digital channels.
