REOTEMP's EcoProbe™ system is perfectly suited for medium to large-scale compost facilities that wish to lower their labor costs and improve their data collection.

REOTEMP has decided to focus on its strength - a manufacturer of high quality temperature probes. So, in order to better serve our wireless customers we've teamed up with a company who has experience in wireless applications for the industrial market. By combining our expertise as probe manufacturers and our partner's expertise in wireless data transmission we've put together a perfect combination.

HOW IT WORKS

These probes work as a team. Each EcoProbe sends information (unformatted data) wirelessly to the base station which collects the data & funnels it into the control system via the PLC or custom PC software.

What does the "unformatted data" consist of? Unformatted data consists of 2 temperature readings (one at the tip and the other 38" above the tip), a time & date stamp, battery status, and a re-programmable I.D. (e.g.. Pile#9,east ). 

If your system uses a PLC, your output will consist of the following:
OUTPUT = DeviceNet: 16-bit integer word for each temperature datum. SCALE: 0-32767 integer = 0 to 85 degrees C; Battery status; RF link status.

If your planning to use a personal computer to display and record your data, we will provide a customized Windows-based software. Call or email us to learn more (Ph:800-648-7737 or compost@reotemp.com).

For PLC systems, a 3rd party system integrator would be used to create HMI software. Usually, they fall into one of the following categories.

1. Many of the large scale facilities & municipalities are capable of creating custom software in-house and would prefer to create their own.
2. Many design/engineering firms can create custom software in-house and would prefer to do so.

For PC's, we have created a windows-based software called Compost Watch. Click on the Compost Watch specs link below for details. The Compost Watch software can be customized to your facility needs. Call or email us to learn more (Ph:800-648-7737 or compost@reotemp.com).
