Automation Werx Full Case Study

4-20 mA Weather Station Info

When Automation Werx was on the search for ruggedized weather monitoring equipment to interface with their PLC, they chose an Orion 420 weather station from Columbia Weather. “We came across the Orion Weather Station and saw a perfect fit,” commented Owner/Automation & Controls Project Manager Trevor Steffler.

“With its capabilities of producing 4-20mA Signals to provide instant weather feedback, we would be able to have our PLC controls react instantly. Simple installation and availability were also key factors.”

“Having weather data allowed us to control dairy building fan intake and exhaust systems based upon outdoor weather considerations. The ease of use, simple installation, and ruggedized hardware are second to none. Our units have been installed for many years, and we expect them to continue to provide good reliable service for years to come. It is a perfect fit when integrating with PLCs.
