Control Solutions, Inc., Minnesota, is pleased to announce the release of the Babel Buster Pro V210 Modbus-SNMP Gateway.

This gateway combines the best features of Control Solutions’ most popular gateways with new features including a versatile SNMP trap receiver and automatic SNMP table walker. This makes it possible to fully support Modbus monitoring of any UPS implementing the RFC 1628 MIB, or MIB with similar traps and alarm tables. The trap receiver templates will support the majority of traps. Script Basic, with extensive character string manipulation, is built in to handle complex traps where one wants to search for a specific message. The flexibility of the trap receiver makes it possible to switch an external relay upon receipt of a certain SNMP trap, or generate a variety of other responses. The Babel Buster Pro V210 provides support for SNMP v1 and v2c with both client and server, and trap sender triggered by template rules or user program. The Pro V210 includes Modbus TCP and RTU client and server (master and slave). The local Modbus register map is user defined, and supports 16, 32, and 64-bit registers. Data formats supported include integer, IEEE 754 floating point, and character strings as a series of Modbus registers.

Humidity Calculator Calculates Humidity Measurands, including Measurement Uncertainties

With the online humidity calculator from E+E Elektronik, humidity-related parameters can be calculated quickly and easily. In contrast to other programs, it takes into account the measurement uncertainties. The E+E humidity calculator is now also available as a free app for mobile devices. The app for Android or iOS operating systems can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple App Store. The app also features a pressure dew point calculator.

Thanks to the intuitive operation the humidity calculator is very easy to use. The conversions and calculations can be saved or sent as a PDF. The online humidity calculator (www.humidity-calculator-online.com) also offers the option of copying the results to an Excel file. The online version of the E+E Humidity Calculator is available in 8 languages, while the app is available in German and English.

Motionloft proprietary, computer-vision enabled sensors

Motionloft provides national property owners, REITS, large brokerage firms, and major retailers with hyperlocal pedestrian and vehicle traffic of their properties. You see your data realtime, with fascinating insights provided on a simple dashboard.  If you can think of a place to count traffic, Motionloft technology can do it; both indoors and outside. We provide data for the interior of malls and commercial buildings; doorway counts, parking garages, and more.  We work with brokers and property owners to help satisfy specific location data needs. We have helped retail clients in their site selection process by allowing them to compare pedestrian traffic data at two different locations. We have also helped clients lease their properties faster and at a better rate by proving the pedestrian traffic data from outside the property. On the tenant side, we have helped clients understand their pedestrian capture rate and make more informed operational decisions by looking at the larger data trends over time.
