Industrial Weather Stations
“We like the price point, always get a response, and it integrates easily into our SCADA system.”
Proven, recommended met equipment from a company you can trust. We’ve been in the business for 40 years. Our job is to make weather monitoring easy, so you can do your job better.
Click below for the sensor suite that meets your requirements. Email sales@columbiaweather.com or call us for assistance in selecting the best weather station for your application.
Industrial weather stations offer professional-quality sensor options and communication protocols. Industrial-grade sensors improve efficiency and safety, and limit down-time.
Two configuration options cover most industrial weather monitoring requirements.
Weather MicroServer offers Internet-ready weather data, additional sensor options, and the following industrial protocols:
- – SNMP
- – Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus RTU (RS-485)
- – DNP3 Ethernet and RS-485
- – BACNet IP
- – Profinet (via Modbus to Profinet Gateway)
4-20 mA Signal Interface. This configuration includes converter modules in a weatherproof enclosure to connect weather sensors to PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems. Click here for 4-20 mA.
Additional monitoring options on all systems include:
- – Weather Master Software: PC display, graphing, archiving
- – Weather Display Console: Touchscreen weather monitoring, trend graphs and max/mins.
