Overview
The Lufft ANACON is an intelligent analog/digital converter with electrical isolation, suitable for integration into UMB networks. The devices are easily installed on standard EN mounting rails and networked together by means of mounting rail bus connectors. The 24V feed for the power supply takes place via the bus connector. Windows software is available for the configuration of the ANACON via RS232 port and an additional ISOCON (8160.UISO).
Mechanics
2 analog inputs with 24-bit resolution and signal conditioning for resistance, PT100/PT1000, voltage, current, frequency, and pulses, as well as pre-defined settings for a large number of Lufft environmental sensors. A half-duplex RS485 interface for networking the converters together.
Benefits
- Easy mounting on standard EN mounting rails
- Easy networking of up to 32 subscribers via mounting rail bus connectors
- 24V DC power supply suitable for switchgear cabinets
- ESD protection for all interfaces
- Configuration via Windows software provided
- Functions displayed via LED’s
- Low space requirement; width approx. 23mm/module
- Low energy consumption/dissipation

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question. [caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

Monitoring Lake Erie’s Eastern Basin: Building Long-Term Data and Real-Time Public Solutions
In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit. [caption id="attachment_38976" align="aligncenter" width="940"] The Dunkirk Buoy viewed from the research vessel after being deployed in early spring.

SonTek CastAway-CTD Meter Review
Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
