Ottawa, Canada -- Control Microsystems, global developer of advanced SCADA products for the water and wastewater industry, today announced the industry’s first use of USB storage devices for data logging in the demanding environments of SCADA applications.
Using removable USB storage such as Flash memory sticks, Control Microsystems’ SCADAPack 300-Series controllers can now provide easily configured and accessible data logs using the alternate methods of logging to internal memory or to external mass storage devices.
“We are proud to offer the first RTU that provides walk-up SCADA to our customers”, said Dale Symington, VP Product Strategy. “This product allows for quick and easy data import via a populated USB device that is connected to any PC running our SCADALog Data Converter utility”.
In addition to logging data to a pre-connected USB mass storage device directly, this new feature also allows for automatic transfer of logged files on internal memory when a USB stick is inserted in the controller.
In systems requiring high power efficiency, the USB port is powered-down and the data is first logged directly to controller RAM. Then at defined intervals the USB port is powered-up and the data is transferred to the memory stick.
Support for data logging to USB mass storage devices is provided by the SCADAPack 330/334 and by the SCADAPack 350/357 with firmware upgrade to version 1.41. These features will be available free of charge on all such SCADAPack controllers.
