The Magellan MX weather stations are based on GILL Instruments all-inone MaxiMet transmitters, which offer a wide range of weather station configurations.
The Magellan MX series features sensor transmitters with a built-in electronic compass and GPS. Models that include a wind sensor are able to report apparent and true wind speed and direction, and GPS information.
Available in three configurations – fixed-mount, vehicle-mount, and portable – Magellan MX data can be monitored with our proprietary Weather Display Console and WeatherMaster™ Software, as well as with third-party software.
The Weather MicroServer is available for Ethernet connectivity, Modbus/TCP, Modbus RTU and SNMP interface, Weather Underground and CWOP interface, XML weather data, and FTP.
The standard Magellan MX configuration communicates over RS-232 and is provided with a 50ft sensor cable. If a cable length greater than 200ft is needed the Magellan MX can also be ordered with RS-485 communication.
The display console is flexible and can be factory-programmed to suit specific market and industry requirements. It is available in three mounting options:
Desktop/Wall-Mount
Panel Mount/Flush Mount
19'' Rack Mount
WeatherMaster™ Software. This professional-grade software is designed to optimize the capabilities of CWS Weather Stations. Providing real-time computer weather monitoring, WeatherMaster offers:
Display and automatic logging of all measured and calculated parameters
Downwind vector wind and wind character-plotting screens
An open Microsoft Access® database for archival with easy retrieval and compatibility with other
Windows® programs
On-the-fly graphing and trend display of all parameters
Alarm notification via computer, email, pager or cell phone
Multi-station monitoring and data acquisition
Quick-North orientation
Interface with CAMEO/ALOHA software for plume modeling and evacuation corridor predictions
Weather MicroServer. The Weather MicroServer is a self-contained, proprietary computer utilizing an embedded Linux operating system. It creates an “Internet-ready” weather monitoring system by automatically providing FTP output, XML web service, and Internet browser user interface. SNMP and Modbus/OPC communication protocols are standard for Industrial Management applications. The Weather MicroServer has datalogging capability. It connects to your network with an included Ethernet cable.
Two serial ports offer interface to both the Weather Display Console and additional peripheral devices or sensors such as visibility, solar radiation, and the Orion LT wind sensor. The Weather MicroServer can provide real-time weather data to WeatherMaster Software over the network. This allows users to simultaneously monitor the weather using WeatherMaster on any network computer.
