The TMF500E is a multipurpose intelligent device to manage meteorological stations (AWS Automatic Weather Stations), tide gauges, ADCPs, current meters and other SCADA devices. Each unit is composed of a microcomputer programmed to acquire, normalize and process infield data. Collected data can be displayed locally using the embedded GUI (LCD display + keyboard). The unit can be connected to a local or remote Control Centre via TCP-IP using the secure built-in FTP and an HTTP servers. Each unit has an unique IP to allow a multi station data network. The CPU embeds a Linux operating system and can host user programs in C-Language.

TMF500-E is based on a 32Bit RISC technology and embeds a keyboard for the access to the setup menu and data entry, and a wide LCD display, a double serial communication port RS232 or RS485 3kVA insulated, double USB port, an Ethernet port 10/100Mbits, a 32MB internal memory and an integrated Web Server. The unit has a great number of analog and digital I/O (up to 96), so it is the perfect instrument for remote monitoring, controls and data acquisition systems. The unit has been designed to operate in an wide range of temperature (from - 30 to + 70C) and with a very low current consumption (< 1W). It can be used in applications where the citizen power network is not available and must be powered by solar panels, lithium battery packs or other power sources like wind generators. The TMF500E is an ETS device (Easy to Install) thanks to the mechanical coupling to a DIN BAR, and it is easy to be programmed both in local or remote mode by a dedicate web-page. The on board Embedded Linux operating system, can be used to develop customized routines.
