LOGR-S Data Logger
The LOGR-S Data Logger is an advanced data logging system that is purpose-built for solar resource monitoring on operational utility-scale PV plants.
Details
LOGR-S is NRG Systems’ first data logger designed specifically for the solar energy industry. Based on decades of data logger development and manufacturing experience, LOGR-S features the same user-friendliness that has come to define NRG’s data logger line, while satisfying the increasing demand for reliable, high-quality solar resource measurements on operating PV plants.
LOGR-S integrates seamlessly with NRG’s Solar Resource Monitoring (SRM) System, allowing users to plug into their plant’s SCADA network with ease. LOGR-S’ modular design can also be adjusted to accommodate a project’s unique measurement requirements. Additionally, LOGR-S features:
- compatibility with the most commonly used SRM sensors
- high-resolution, high-accuracy analog measurements
- built-in and optional PV input module for soiling measurements
- configurable serial measurement capability for data acquisition from digital sensors
- integrated communications capabilities
- storage capacity for historical real-time data
- automated delivery of historical data
LOGR-S is supported by our expert Technical Services team who can assist our global customers via in-the-field and remote trainings, installation assistance, and more.
