- The system provided scalable, continuous pulse data collection with an 8-hour battery backup, meeting European standards.
The Challenge
Sensus France required a solution to collect pulse data from multiple water meters and transmit it via Modbus RTU. They needed a robust device that would continue to operate during power outages, ensuring no loss of data, while also complying with strict European standards.
The Solution
NOITAC developed the PULSR, a pulse data collection device capable of handling data from up to four water meters and transmitting it over Modbus RTU. Using C/C++ and Python, and initially prototyped on Raspberry Pi, the system was built for flexibility and scalability. The PULSR also featured an 8-hour battery backup, ensuring uninterrupted operation in the event of power outages.
Results
- Reliable data collection even during power outages, thanks to the battery backup,
- Scalability, allowing Sensus to deploy the PULSR solution across different installations,
- Compliance with European standards, ensuring a future-proof solution.
