Equipment Description
BLUESONIC
is a seawater-resistant wind meter which determine wind direction and wind speed.
The equipment is connected by way of an 8 pole screw connector.
The measured values can be requested over a variety of interfaces:
BLUESONIC
NMEA
Id-No.: 00.16461.000 010
-
RS422 interface in TALKER mode with NMEA protocol
BLUESONIC
ANALOG
Id-No.: 00.16461.000 040
-
Analog data output with 4…20 mA
3.1
Wind
The wind meter uses 4 ultrasound sensors, which take cyclical measurements in all
directions. The resulting wind speed and direction are calculated from the measured run-time
sound differential.
3.2
Heating
BLUESONIC
is heated for winter operation.
4
Generation of Measurements
In the specific case of wind measurement, measurements are calculated vectorially. To this
end, the average values of the vectors are generated internally. Hence the value (wind
speed) and angle (wind direction) of the vector are calculated.
5
Measurement Output
The factory default setting for the transmission of measurements is NMEA protocol.
You can find an example of a measurement request for the various protocols in the
appendix.
