New Product Support: Kipp & Zonen’s RaZON+

2017年，我被问到几次数据记录程序程序，以检索来自Kipp＆Zonen的新的数据RaZON+, a compact-sized dual-axis sun tracker with integrated GPS, smart pyrheliometer, and shaded smart pyranometer. The RaZON+ touts a higher accuracy approach to obtaining solar component sum (diffuse, direct, and global sunlight) compared to the traditional, proven rotating shadowband radiometers. Kipp & Zonen has simplified and improved ease-of-use, as compared to the Solys 2 Sun Tracker, with a compact, lightweight design, onboard data processing, and an intuitive user interface for configuration and Modbus real-time data retrieval.

So why am I asked for a data logger program if the RaZON+ can make these solar radiation measurements, store the data, and transfer the data? It comes down to two reasons:

1. Cellular and wireless communication options
2. The ability to incorporate additional sensors

TheCR1000X,CR6, andCR310DataLoggers满足这些需求，将Razon +与集成以太网和RS-485相结合的Modbus与蜂窝和无线数据传输选项相结合。例如，CR310每秒无缝地收集Razon +的数据;衡量额外的传感器，如冗余的磨光仪，气象，污染，可见性和温度;在执行实时QA / QC时存储/减少数据点。耦合与蜂窝调制解调器，CR310将数据牢固地将数据传输到您喜欢的数据库，并允许远程和安全访问查看数据和系统状态。虽然Razon +具有良好的紧凑型尺寸，但是13W的电源需要满足其电源需求将相当大。如果不增加大量成本，则CR310也可用于监控和控制电源，在太阳高度在地平线上小于0度时转动Razon +关闭。

The program example below is developed for the CR310. The same code can be used in the new CR1000X and CR6 dataloggers, as well as theCR1000,CR800,CR850, andCR3000.
