Weather Station for Solar Farm – a pre-configured data acquisition solution for meteorological sensors: a “Meteo-Box“

Universal weather station for acquiring up to eleven meteo signals. Data transmission to the SCADA system takes place as required via Modbus, PROFINET or SunSpec via Ethernet. Parameterisation takes place easily without software via the web browser.

This solution includes a configurable software package on a SD card which is inserted in the controller, you connect to the web page of the device and parameterise the software to suit your sensors and information required.

Our Solarworx function block library enables you to use tested function blocks within your programming, speeding up your coding time and giving you the confidence that these blocks are tested thoroughly by Phoenix Contact, ensuring communication to your chosen Inverter type will work.
