Data loggers for environmental parameter monitoring

Tecnopenta data loggers are professional instruments for data acquisition, data storage and data transmission from environmental and industrial sensors. Designed to ensure reliability and accuracy even in complex operating conditions, they represent the ideal solution for monitoring systems in meteorological, hydrological, agrivoltaic and industrial applications.

What is a data logger and what is it used for

A data logger is an electronic device capable of acquiring data from one or more sensors, storing it locally and, if required, transmitting it to data collection platforms or SCADA systems. In technical and environmental monitoring contexts, it enables continuous measurements over time, reducing human intervention and ensuring data traceability.

Main monitored parameters include:

• Temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure
• Flow rate and water level
• Solar radiation and meteorological parameters
• Electrical and industrial variables (voltage, current, pulses, digital I/O)

Tecnopenta data loggers: precision and modularity

Tecnopenta data loggers are designed to provide high reliability, low power consumption and flexibility in sensor management. The main line is based on the FlexLog D1, a modular system with multi-channel acquisition, autonomous power supply and remote communication.

FlexLog D1

The FlexLog D1 data logger allows acquisition of analog and digital signals from different types of sensors, with customizable configuration for each channel.

Main features:

• Up to 16 configurable analog channels (0–5 V, 4–20 mA, PT100, pulses, digital contacts)
• Internal storage on non-volatile memory
• Communication via USB, RS485 and optional 4G modem
• Autonomous power supply with internal battery and photovoltaic panel
• Compatibility with Tecnopenta software for data acquisition and visualization

Thanks to its modular structure, the FlexLog D1 can be used in single installations or in complex environmental monitoring networks, integrating with weather stations, hydrological systems and industrial equipment.

Typical applications of Tecnopenta data loggers

• Environmental and meteorological monitoring: data collection from temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall and solar radiation sensors.
• Hydrological and hydraulic monitoring: measurement of flow, level and velocity in watercourses with remote data transmission.
• Agrivoltaic and agricultural systems: analysis of environmental and efficiency parameters to optimize energy and agricultural production.
• Industrial processes and research: process data acquisition, energy monitoring and experimental validation.

Data management and transmission

All Tecnopenta data loggers are compatible with dedicated software for configuration, download and management of recorded data. Communication interfaces (USB, RS485, Ethernet, 4G) allow local use or connection to remote platforms.

Tecnopenta solutions can be integrated into distributed monitoring networks, with automatic data updates and secure remote access.

Reliability, support and customization

Each data logger is developed and tested internally by Tecnopenta, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of sensors and complete technical support. On request, custom configurations and measurement channel calibration with autonomous power systems are available.

Conclusion

Tecnopenta data loggers provide a reliable and scalable solution for those requiring data acquisition systems integrable into environmental and industrial monitoring projects.
