WindSonic

WindSonic is a robust, low cost ultrasonic wind sensor with no moving parts. This 2-axis ultrasonic wind sensor offers maintenance-free wind speed and direction monitoring for true ‘fit and forget’ wind sensing.

WMO compliant for gusts.

WindSonic and WindSonic 75 both now offer Modbus output (Option 5)

Modbus RTU output supports the increased use of WindSonic 2-axis anemometers in applications requiring integration into larger management and control systems including:

• Building and infrastructure management including bridges, tunnels and skyscrapers (including the world's tallest, the Burj Khalifa) 
• Large renewable energy installations, including solar and wind farms, requiring connected networks for monitoring, system management and maintenance
• Integration with industrial systems such as PLCs and SCADA 
• Integration with other sensors as part of environmental monitoring systems

This product update is part of Gill's active programme of continuous development, to build in the latest parameters and features, while ensuring WindSonic always delivers the trusted performance and reliability for which it is known.

WindSonic is a genuine low cost alternative to conventional cup and vane or propeller wind sensors, with all of the advantages of solid-state ultrasonic technology. With no moving parts to jam, break or wear out, this ultrasonic wind sensor is ideal for use in harsh weather conditions.

WindSonic is a 2-axis ultrasonic wind sensor, providing wind speed and direction data via one serial or two analogue outputs. To confirm correct operation, wind sensor outputs are transmitted together with an instrumentation status code.
