Introduction

The blueberry COMPACT is an all-in-one data logger

system. It features digital and analogue measure-

ment inputs for the connection of sensors providing

pulses, voltage or current signals. A serial RS485

bus interface allows the connection of sonic an-

emometers and other sensors with RS485 interface.

The blueberry COMPACT is integrated into the Inter-

net via GSM/GPRS or DSL. It sends measured data

automatically via E-Mail and FTP. The Ethernet port

and the integrated web interface provide fast data

transmission to a PC or a LAN and easy access via a

web browser.

Getting Started

5. Plug the crosspatch cable into the LAN connec-

tion at the front plate of the blueberry COMPACT.

Connect the crosspatch cable to the Ethernet in-

terface of a PC or notebook.

6. Adapt the network settings of the PC to the IP

address of the blueberry COMPACT. The network

parameters are indicated on a label at the bot-

tom of the housing of the data logger.

7. Start your Internet browser, enter the IP address

of the data logger into the address field and type

<enter>. Enter the access code into the login

dialog:

user: admin

password: **** (=admin password)

8. You should now see a screen similar to the image

below.

9. Connect sensors or test signals to the terminals

at DIN1 .. DIN10 and AIN1 .. AIN6. Enter the

measurement functions according to chapter

Measurement Setup of this manual.

Delivered within a complete measurement system

the blueberry COMPACT usually provides a wiring

diagram attached to the lid of the shelter box. The

blueberry COMPACT includes built-in overvoltage

protection for all terminals. The following image

shows the blueberry COMPACT data logger with

backup batteries connected, the GSM module that

integrates the data logger into the Internet via

GPRS.

Installation

Please proceed as follows to install and to test the

blueberry COMPACT data logger:

1. Install the blueberry COMPACT to the mast.

2. Remove the battery cover plate and insert the

two sealed lead batteries and connect them

to BAT1 and BAT2. Please use only the battery

types stated on the label in the data logger shel-

ter box.

3. Insert the battery cover plate and tighten the

fixing screw.

NOTE: Never disconnect the backup batteries from

the data logger when a solar module is connect-

ed. This may damage the data logger.

4. Connect a 12V solar module (60 Wp) to the POW

(+) and GND (–) terminals of the terminal strip.

The BUSY indicator LED is steadily alight. The

boot process takes approx. 2 minutes. The data

logger is fully operating when the BUSY LED

flashes in regular intervals of 2 seconds.

NOTE: Never connect a solar module to the data

logger before batteries are connected. This may

damage the data logger.

Optionally, a 24 VDC (15..30 VDC / max. 5A) pow-

er supply can be connected instead of the solar

module. The integrated charge controller will

charge the backup batteries working as a UPS.

LED Display

The blueberry COMPACT provides an array of LEDs

that indicate the status of the measurement inputs

and of the power supply. Press the DISPLAY button

to activate the LEDs for 3 minutes.

Web Interface

Introduction

The user surface of the data logger

blueberry COMPACT is a web interface. Configura-

tion of the data logger, display and download of

measured data requires a web browser (e.g., Firefox,

Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari). The data logger is

connected to the PC via local Ethernet connection

or via remote data transmission (GSM, GPRS, UMTS,

CDMA, DSL, Satellite).

Start the browser, enter the IP address of the data

logger into the address field and type <enter>.

Enter the access code into the login dialog. The

blueberry COMPACT provides two user levels:

The user guest is allowed to display actual measured

values and configuration settings and to down-

load measured data. He cannot delete any data or

change configuration settings. He is only allowed to

set date and time.

The user admin has all rights. In addition to the

guest rights he is allowed to delete measured data

and to change the configuration.

Data Display

Displaying Actual Measured Values

The left part of the screen displays in a table all

actual measured values. When the data logger is

connected locally these values are automatically

updated. At remote connections, please click on

Refresh Data View below the data table in order to

update the display. Measured values are displayed

as floating point numbers with the significant

number of characters after the decimal point.

Data Transfer

Downloading Measured Data

The blueberry COMPACT contains two ring buffer

data memories; one for the statistics, one for the

samples. Actual data overwrite the oldest data lines

which makes the deletion of the memory unneces-

sary.

Select Archive in order to display a list of all stored

statistics files. The blueberry COMPACT creates

one statistics file per day. These files contain time

series of the statistical evaluations of the samples.

The file name contains the index of the actual meas-

urement, the date and the tag stat for ‚statistics‘.

The data logger increments the index every time

the configuration is changed or the data logger

reboots.

Example: 000024_2004-03-19_stat.csv

Select HighRes in order to display a list of all stored

samples files. The blueberry COMPACT creates one

CSV file per hour. These files contain time series of

all measured samples. The file name contains the in-

dex of the actual measurement, date and time, and

the tag meas for ‚measurement‘.

Example: 000024_2004-03-19_15_meas.csv

Downloading measured data works like a download

from an Internet site: click with the right mouse

button on a file, select Save file as... from the pull-

down menu, enter the destination path and click

OK.

CSV files can be imported into data analysis soft-

ware like WAsP or WindPRO. Double-clicking on the

CSV file opens it directly in MS-Excel.

Data Format

The blueberry COMPACT stores measured data as

comma separated ASCII files (CSV). Each data file

contains a header which indicates information

about the data logger and the measurement config-

uration: serial number of the data logger, index of

the measurement, site info, measurement functions

and parameter settings. The header is followed by

an empty line and a line with column headers. The

measured data lines have the format: date, time,

period, measured values. Decimal delimiter is a dot

(e.g., 2.564), columns are separated by a comma.
