Record Building Water Usage with Remote Ethernet I/O

Defining the Problem:  Regulatory Compliance - To meet environmental standards by monitoring the usage and quality of water used by a school or business.  System will record the temperature, pressure, and flow rate for reporting purposes.

System Requirements:

Field instruments used are pressure transmitters (PT), temperature sensors (T/C), and flowmeters (FM) with 4-20mA outputs. Remote I/O convert the analogue inputs to Modbus TCP/IP on Ethernet which communicates with the Building Automation System (BAS) for data logging, trending, and histograms.

Implementing the Solution:

1. Configure the module using Acromag Windows® based software via USB connection.

2. Connect the field instruments and verify input status using the software test & polling feature.

3. Program the BAS with the remote I/O network parameters and Modbus registers.
