DATA ACQUISITION
GATEWAY & SERVER

AcuLink 810 is an intelligent data acquisition server and gateway designed to collect aggregated energy, water, gas, or other utility data from multiple meters and field sensors in a facility. Compatible with all Accuenergy meters and third-party devices, it stores data locally until it is ready to be distributed to remote servers or controllers via an IP-based network. The built-in web interface makes it simple to monitor critical energy data from all connected devices, promoting real-time decision making and management.

  • Gateway supports multiple networks including Modbus, BACnet, SunSpec, Mbus, MQTT, SNMP for intercommunication between devices
  • Post or push data using multiple formats for straightforward integration with existing software or control systems
  • Browser accessible web interface facilitates quick, software-free setup and remote data access
  • 8GB datalogger onboard memory rapidly logs data up to once per second
  • Multi-protocol support for compatibility with industrial, data center, or other critical installations
  • Dual Ethernet ports for simple, RSTP compliant network connectivity
  • Wireless communications through WiFi plus optional AcuMesh support for wireless RS485 data collection
  • TLS 1.2 compliance for enhanced cybersecurity in critical infrastructure deployments
  • Auto-discovery of devices available for BACnet networks
  • Support EPICS files to build BACnet device templates

AcuLink 810 Overview

What is a Data Acquisition Gateway and Server?

A data acquisition (DAQ) system serves as a central hub between interconnected devices designed to aggregate critical facility data such as power consumption or temperature readings. Using a variety of industrial protocols, it can poll downstream energy meters at regular intervals and post the data to the Cloud, or web servers for remote access to realtime energy & facility management.

Benefits of a Data Acquisition Gateway
  • Provides a communication pathway between master and slave devices operating with different protocols
  • Bridges the gap between legacy devices and updated hardware
  • Drives interoperability between devices, automation systems, and other building services
  • Entire legacy systems do not need to be replaced immediately, extending the lifespan existing devices
  • Realized savings from extending the lifespan of existing devices
  • Able to mix and test different devices for better cost-savings
