Weather Monitoring Systems
Fully Integrated Weather Monitoring Systems For Every Application
Description
Q-Net Integrated Systems are a straightforward solution to the integration
problems faced when building an environmental monitoring system for a specific
application. The network design of Q-Net provides a flexible framework
for assembling any size system - from a single sensor system to a complex
multi-parameter array. The building blocks of Q-Net are plug-in modules
that work together in whatever combination is required, making Q-Net remarkably
adaptable.
Q-Net has been designed to accept inputs from a host of sensors covering
the essential environmental parameters, including: Wind Speed, Wind Direction,
Temperature, Relative Humidity, Dew Point, Barometric Pressure, Solar Radiation,
Evaporation, Water Level, Precipitation, Visibility, and Cloud Height,
as well as sensors that measure non-meteorological parameters, such as
NOX/SOX.
The heart of Q-Net is its RS-485 network, which allows additional components-even
full sensor stations-to be added on at any stage along the network. The
character of the RS-485 interface makes expansion of a system effortless,
and simplifies the dissemination of collected data.
Q-Net Modules
Each Q-Net station includes a NEMA 4X enclosure called a StationPac, which
houses the Q-Net modules and auxiliary equipment. For added protection,
the Q-Net modules are housed within a second sealed enclosure within the
StationPac. There are five Q-Net modules in all, which together control
the operation of a Q-Net system.
-
The Qualimetrics Sensor Interface (QSI) obtains data from a system's analog
or digital sensors.
-
The Qualimetrics Network Controller (QNC) controls overall operation of
the system and provides a data interface to host systems. For on-site data
logging, an optional removable Qualimetrics Data Archive Card is available.
-
The Qualimetrics Relay/Telemetry (QRT) modules allow data to be transmitted
to a remote location off the Q-Net.
-
The Qualimetrics Analog Readout (QAR) provides analog outputs of sensor
data to allow the use of analog recorders and displays with a system.
-
The Qualimetrics Power Supply (QPS) regulates dc power to the system components.
These five modules provide the flexibility that is the basis of the Q-Net
concept. In practice, not every system requires all of them. A basic Q-Net
system may require no more than a sensor station (or stations), one QSI,
one QNC, and a QPS.
Q-Net Extensions
Q-Net systems are engineered to be easily adapted to a wide variety of
monitoring applications. A full array of system extensions is available,
which includes accessory kits and modules for telemetry, analog output,
solar power, and many others. This list of extensions is constantly being
updated to keep Q-Net current with customer needs, so if your application
requires a component not shown here, contact Qualimetrics Customer Service-chances
are, we can provide it.
