Ohmex Intrumentation - EDAS Software (Environmental Data Acquisition System)
The concept behind EDAS is to provide Environmental Data collection systems using distributed computer processing and saving the results in a standard database format thus making use of modern computer networking technology.. Single PC systems tend to be legacy designs that have evolved around existing equipment, probably having been added to at various times in their history and almost certainly the result of ad hoc software updates and changes. The basic concept of a single PC acting as a central data collection and display point has proved to be a very cost effective solution to the problem of collecting and recording environmental data.
Standard Sensor Interface
The VECTILITE system represents a compact system for the collection of live environmental data for operational use in ports and harbours. The system integrates the functions of a TidaLite Tide Gauge with a solid state Anemometer to provide a simple Metrological station in a single integrated unit.
Data from the system can be output by a variety of means to the EDS software ...
- Direct Serial Cable
- Radio Telemetry systems
- Ethernet using TCP/IP
Legacy Sensor connection
A customised EDAS interface box provides a means for the connection and digitization of a range of digital and non-digital environmental transducers. The interface uses a low power voltage source (12v) and converts data from the transducers to a one second burst of serial RS232 format data for input to the EDS software.
