The microSpider2 Satellite is a complete data logging and telemetry system. It includes all software, hardware and a built-in satellite modem.
The enclosure fits standard DIN rail brackets. Alternatively, the satellite modem can be supplied as a factory option for the microSpider2 Environmental which has an IP68 enclosure.
The microSpider2 Satellite can
- monitor inputs (analogue, digital, counters, frequency, quadrature/shaft encoder)
- control outputs when alarms are activated
- generate periodic reports
- record data
- send data via Iridium Short Burst Data
The microSpider2 Satellite is ideal for long term monitoring and can interface with a wide range of sensors and meters. The browser interface makes it easy to set up and test. It can be powered from 12V DC.
The microSpider2 Satellite logs data and automatically sends reports via Iridium SBD satellite.
