Sutron XLink 100/500 Logging Transmitter
Multi-Sensor Input Logger with data transmission via lridium or Cellular
Sutron’s XLink product family offers a cost-effective Wi-Fi enabled datalogger with data transmission via Iridium or Cellular. Ideal for use with multiple digital and analog sensors supporting basic or advanced monitoring applications. The product comes in two models tailored to fit different application and budget requirements. The XLink 100 and XLink 500 carry over all the great capabilities from its predecessor family (CDMALink, HSPALink, GPRSLink, IridiumLink).
- USB-Host, RS-232, Cellular, Data Logger, RS-232 and RS-485, Switchable SDI-12 power, Iridium
- Plug and play modem, custom programming with Python Scripts (XLlink500), up to 32 measurements, log up to 1,000,000 readings, USB flash drive, secure communication (TLS 1.2 ciphers), multiple interfaces and protocols (HTTP,TCP/IP,FTP), and 3 levels of security to configure, perform maintenance or access data
- Yes
- SDI-12, RS-232, RS-485
Plug and Play Modem Card
- Reduce modem Setup time with automatic modem recognition
- Field exchangeable, easily move from one telemetry type or Service carrier to another
- Keep up with fast moving cellular/telecom technologies (e.g., 3G to 4G)
Custom Programming with Python Scripts (available with XLink 500)
- Supports applications beyond standard configuration, including custom measurements, transmission formats and user defined computations
- Modern, easy to learn scripting language with strong and growing developer community
Two-way communication and remote configuration
- All datalogger features and configuration options available remotely via cell
- Reduce time and cost of visiting field station to check, change or download configuration or turn on/off instruments
- Improve data access and ask for missing data if transmissions are missed
Simple and intuitive software
- LinkComm software used with all Sutron XLink and SatLink 3 dataloggers
- Common software reduces training requirements
- Simple setup over Wi-Fi using a smart phone, tablet or PC
- Pair with Hydromet Cloud, web-hosted software, to access and manage real-time data and alerts
USB flash drive
- Quickly modify configuration or upgrade firmware
- Automatically download data, diagnostics and events
- Load Python scripts
Collect more data more often while in alarm
- Reduce transmission costs by sending data more frequently only when data is needed at a faster interval
- User definable alarm thresholds and adaptable intervals
Secure communication
- Send encrypted data over secure HTTPS
- HTTP(S), FTP(S) and Socket (TCP/IP) transmission protocols
Small footprint datalogger
- Reduce enclosure costs with smaller footprint datalogger
- Easy to conceal small datalogger and enclosure
Supports multiple interfaces and protocols
- Use with wide range of sensors, including SDI-12, RS-232 and RS-485
- Simple configuration of SDI-12, SDI-12 over RS-485 and ModBus (Master or Slave; RTU or ASCII) sensors
- Easily connect external modems or displays
- Supports common formats, including: ASCII, CSV, SHEF, Pseudobinary, OTT MIS
- Remote and urban environmental monitoring
