Howdy, Edward from Valarm. Does your organization need a cost-effective way to get sensor information from Campbell Scientific & Vaisala sensor hardware? Campbell Scientific & Vaisala make awesome, rugged, durable hardware that’s fully compatible with Valarm Tools Cloud. In this video you’ll learn how to configure Campbell Scientific dataloggers to send data to tools.valarm.net just like the unit you see here that 1 of our customers has deployed. In this case our customer is an environmental consultancy company that needed a webpage dashboard with real-time sensor information from the field. This remote monitoring unit is solar powered and uses a CR1000 datalogger connected to a whole bunch of Campbell Scientific & Vaisala sensors. There are sensors for weather and meteorology like temperature, humidity, pressure, solar radiation, and rain fall or precipitation. Since this unit is in a high fire risk area in California, there is also a fire fuel moisture stick sensor. All of the sensor information goes to [ Ссылка ] using the Valarm compatible GSM sensor hub you see in the lower left part of the box that has a VR MET sticker on it. Sensor data is regularly uploaded using a 3G GSM mobile cell network & then it’s on these interactive maps & widgets that quickly give the customer situational awareness. How does this all work? Let’s break down key components
A simple remote monitoring unit with a GSM or WiFi sensor hub, an RS-232 serial sensor adapter, a 12V sealed lead acid battery, and a Campbell Scientific CR800 datalogger. How to get your Campbell Scientific sensor data onto tools.valarm.net for mapping, graphing, analytics, & API forwarding to your real-time web dashboards or other business systems.
Link your sensor hub to Valarm Tools. If you haven’t done this before see the tutorial video on How to Use Valarm at Valarm.net. Next configure your RS-232 sensor adapter using virtualhub. Based on your Campbell Scientific program you’ve deployed on your data logger you’ll update the RS-232 settings.
This will work with the CR1000, CR200, and other Campbell Scientific dataloggers as long as they’re set to output CSV, comma separated values, via serial RS-232. In this case we’ve set our Campbell Scientific CR800 datalogger to send sensor data at a 115200 baud rate. Change your settings to reflect the format your Campbell Scientific dataloggers are outputting.
In virtualhub you can click the serial number of your RS-232 sensor adapter & you’ll see the conversation happening with your Campbell Scientific datalogger. For example, if you programmed your CS datalogger to output every minute you’ll see the CSV output here every minute.
On Valarm Tools Cloud, click your sensor hub device in the Device Manager. Then go to CSV Input under Configure Data Path. Configure what field / column will store the data from each Campbell Scientific sensor.
You see a remote monitoring unit with telemetry for wild fire fuel moisture, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation, precipitation or rainfall, and other sensor factors. Map them in the order they’re being sent, starting with 0 for the first field your datalogger is outputting. Save your CSV parser setup. You’ll see your Campbell Scientific sensor data throughout Valarm Tools Cloud on maps, graphs, APIs, and all of the analytical tools available with [ Ссылка ].
Now your Campbell Scientific sensor data can be integrated into Valarm’s real-time web dashboards. Data is from CR800 and CR1000 data loggers that have fire risk sensors, the CS506-L that measures fire fuel moisture. You can also see the rest of the remote environmental monitoring information on gauges and historical graphs.
