SODA hardware - for every step in the data acquisition process

SODA

Remote Meter Reading

You can choose from two SODA variations depending on the the number of communication lines and on the types of technology used in your measuring network. Both systems are equipped with the same software.

SODAmodular: Hardware for extensive tasks

SODAmodular has interfaces for up to 32 modems and is able to further communicate via web services and IP. The standard configuration of SODAmodular consists of three components: the calculation unit of SODAmodular, the interface unit SODA-V24 and the modem rack SODAmodem.

The calculation unit of SODAmodular contains a high performance industry PC (Xeon 4 processor, 2 x 500 GB hard disk (RAID 1), DVD drive, ethernet, VGA-graphics, connection for USB-mouse and keyboard, redundant power supply). Configuration and administration are dealt with using the SODA software. SODA-V24 provides 16 serial interfaces for the connection of modems through SODAmodem, or for the connection of external modems, powerline modems and front-end processors.

A further option is to connect two SODA-V24s for a total of 32 interfaces.

The modem rack version of SODAmodem can hold up to 16 modems (ISDN, GSM, analogue). SODAmodem is equipped with its own insertable power supply.

SODAcompact: The compact solution for small applications

SODAcompact has a clearly defined range of hardware and performance. The device is housed in a compact case and supports standard telemetry operations via 4 serial ports for the connection to modems. Connection to web services and via IP is also possible. Using the IP operation, an operation of up to 100 stations is possible.

An upgrade to SODAmodular can be carried out at any time. Connections at the back of the device comprise of 4 serial ports, Ethernet, power, printer port, keyboard, mouse and VGA-graphics.
