UMB-Technology

UMB TECHNOLOGYThe UMB (Universal Measurement Bus)system is new technology for recordingenvironmental data.Regardless of whether in the form of astandard weather station or road icewarning equipment, the modular systemexcels due to easy commissioning, freefirmware updates and data transfer overRS232, RS485 or GPRS modem.UMB offers flexibility, modularity andweb-based visualization and pollingsoftware.The UMB sensor library provides acomprehensive range of environmentalsensors for recording temperature, relativehumidity, precipitation, visibility androad conditions. The new WS seriescompact weather stations, in particular,are outstanding due to their unrivaledprice-performance ratio. The top-of-therangemodel, WS600-UMB, incorporatessensors for temperature, humidity,precipitation, air pressure, wind directionand wind speed.Third party sensors and existing analogsensors can be integrated into the UMBsystem using the ANACON-UMBmodule.All UMB sensors can be polled bymeans of a standard protocol.Once data polling has been incorporatedfor one sensor, additional sensorscan be added by way of easy parameterizationof the data polling system.Channel-oriented sensor data pollingdelivers a large number of computedvariables in metric and US format. Thusthere is no need for conversion by theuser. Sensors can be configured, equipmenttested and firmware updated withthe free configuration software (UMB-Config-Tool).In addition Lufft offers a variety of softwarepackages from data retrieval fromweather stations (COLLECTOR) to webvisualization (SmartView3).The electrical connection for all UMBsensors is made via a standard plugconnector system. This keeps installationand service costs to a minimum.Compact designEasy commissioningRS232 or RS485 data transferEasy software updatesFree configuration software2
