Ace DLG80

Rugged Data Logger for C&I Solar Plants and Agrivoltaic Weather Monitoring

Updated
Ace DLG80

Overview

The Ace DLG80 is a high-performance multichannel data logger and IoT gateway engineered for the rigorous demands of solar resource and environmental monitoring. With 8 single-ended / 4 differential analog input channels and a 24-bit ADC, it connects seamlessly to irradiance sensors, temperature probes, wind instruments, and energy meters via 4–20 mA, 0–1 V, or resistive (PT100/PT1000) outputs.

Dual RS485 Modbus RTU ports allow simultaneous Master and Slave operation — polling inverters and MFM meters while forwarding aggregated data to local SCADA networks. The integrated LTE modem streams high-resolution data to Aeron's Live3 cloud platform for real-time PR and CUF analytics.

GPS time synchronization ensures every data point is precisely timestamped — essential for IEC 61724-1:2021 Class A compliance and bankable performance reporting.

Product code: 23009

Key features

  • IEC 61724-1:2021 Class A Compliance. Meets every requirement of IEC 61724-1:2021 Class A — the global benchmark for bankable solar energy monitoring data accepted by lenders and auditors.
  • 24-bit ADC Resolution. 24-bit ADC delivers 0.001 resolution and ±0.1% of full-scale accuracy — eliminating quantization error on all analog channels.
  • Advanced System Integration. Dual RS485 Modbus RTU (Master + Slave, isolated) — poll inverters and meters while simultaneously serving data to local SCADA and the Aeron Live3 cloud via 4G LTE.
  • Broad Sensor Compatibility. Accepts 4–20 mA, 0–1 V, 0–500 mV, PT100, and PT1000 inputs — compatible with virtually every pyranometer, temperature sensor, and environmental probe on the market.
  • GPS Time Synchronization. Onboard GPS receiver provides hardware-level UTC time sync — independent of internet connectivity, ensuring IEC-compliant timestamps even at off-grid sites.
  • Flexible Data Storage & Access. 8 GB micro-SD stores 5+ years of 1-minute data. USB pen drive enables on-site retrieval — no network required.
  • Rugged IP65 Enclosure. PC/ABS UV-resistant housing rated IP65 — protects all electronics from dust, water, and UV exposure in outdoor installations.
  • Wide-Range Power Input. 9–28 V DC input with reverse and over-voltage protection — runs directly from a solar panel and battery without AC supply.

Applications

  • C&I Solar Weather Monitoring. The DLG80's IEC Class A compliance and 24-bit ADC make it the definitive data logger for real-time PR and CUF analytics at C&I solar plants.
  • Agrivoltaic Weather Monitoring. Simultaneously monitor module temperature, irradiance, wind, and soil parameters — capturing both energy yield data and crop microclimate in one system.
  • Energy Management & SCADA. Dual Modbus Master/Slave architecture connects the DLG80 to existing SCADA networks and cloud platforms simultaneously, without additional gateways.
  • Remote & Renewable Sensing. Solar-powered, GPS-synced, and IP65 rated — the DLG80 operates autonomously at off-grid sites with local USB retrieval and real-time 4G LTE uplink.
