EMI Systems: Skalar
The Power of Smart Metering
Adaptable, Flexible, Highly Functional. Skalar is the new generation of smart metering devices. The multi-talented Skalar is a smart communication device equipped with wireless data technology to transfer pulse data from different sources regardless of their physical location. Skalar is a key device to accelerating your business process. A high-capacity 32-bit microprocessor with a multitasking real time operating system (RTOS) is the core of Skalar. Communication with one or more remote stations over GSM/GPRS, PSTN, ISDN, or Ethernet is possible. Data transmission and alerts are done via standard FTP server application, email server, or SMS.
- Minimizes Infrastructure by utilizing existing IT network
- Lowers Engineering cost up to 50% vs. similar products
- Real-time Multitasking Metering System for Facility Data Collection
- Highly Cost Effective and Economical
Superior Functionality
- 6 pulse inputs (water, gas, electric, steam, other)
- 2 pulse or digital outputs
- Serial protocols (RS-232 and RS-485)
- Alarms – email and SMS alerts
- Ethernet, ISDN, GSM, GPRS and Bluetooth
- Up to 250 days of local data retention
- Web-based and local data access
- Custom programming capabilities
Typical Applications
Skalar is ideal for isolated locations, including wind/solar farms and oil rigs, where Internet access is difficult, yet constant reporting is required. GSM data transfer uses the same wireless mobile networks that the cell phone companies use. Skalar is very popular in Europe, used by many major utilities to bill customers on a daily basis.
