Engineering

Designed and manufactured by Boson Microcon.

Boson Microcon designs and manufactures embedded systems for industry and research, and has done so since 1994. This page describes the engineering through the one product published so far.

From sensor to server.

The VW Gauge Monitor reads a vibrating wire sensor, records the frequency and thermistor temperature, stores the data on the unit, and sends it to a cloud server for remote monitoring.

Built for the field

Power, enclosure and setup.

  • Battery operation

    Two 18650 Li-ion batteries, with an optional solar charger. The figure on the datasheet is based on one measurement per hour.

  • Sealed enclosure

    IP65-rated enclosure for field and civil engineering deployments.

  • External antenna

    The antenna is external to the enclosure.

  • Configured from an SD card

    Data transmission is set through settings stored on the SD card.

Interfaces

Connects to other systems.

The VW Gauge Monitor supports these protocols and interfaces, so its data can reach compatible monitoring systems.

  • MQTT
  • TCP/IP
  • Modbus
  • RS485
  • Ethernet
