Details

iPackACCESS is a communications module for the SymphoniePLUS3 Data Logger that enables wind farm operators to integrate real-time, one-second meteorological data into their SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems.

In addition to real-time data, iPackACCESS calculates statistical data at user-selected intervals. Data are delivered to pre-defined Modbus registers. With no coding required, iPackACCESS offers ease-of-use and data security by limiting access to defined IP addresses.

Data Logger Connection

iPackACCESS attaches to a port located on the back of the SymphoniePLUS3 Data Logger. The iPackACCESS and SymphoniePLUS3 are then secured to a Symphonie shelter box using four screws.

Benifits

Integrate real-time, one-second meteorological data into your wind farm’s SCADA system
Calculate statistical data (average, standard deviation, min, and max) at user-selected intervals (1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes) so it can be directly forwarded to forecasting providers
Access the data on pre-defined registers using Modbus TCP protocol
Ensure the security of your data by limiting access via user-defined IP addresses
Quickly install the unit in the field, no coding required
