YDOC ML-417
The ML-417 data logger is a small, ultra low power, cost effective data logger with built-in 4G cellular modem. This small data logger is further provided with an internal temperature sensor, 4GB micro SD card and a 2FF SIM card slot.

The ML-417 is available with several power options: 3.6V Lithium battery, 8 to 30V DC input, or integrated solar panel with 3x AA NiMH.
The data logger can acquire physical signals by 2 current loop inputs, 2 voltage inputs, 1 potentiometer input and 3 digital inputs. More or special inputs can be added by means of internal stackable option boards/converters.
The data logger is provided with one serial port to capture measurements from ASCII, MODBUS, NMEA or SDI-12 compatible sensors. External sensors can be powered by the data logger itself. Up to 8 mathematical channels are available to calculate meaningful engineering values derived from sensor input values (e.g. a polynomial to calculate a flow from a stream level). Supports up to 8 aggregation channels (e.g. to record 2 or 10 minute wind-speed averages sampled at 1Hz).
Logged data can be pushed to a central host by HTTP(S), FTP(S), e-mail, secure TCP or MQTT at configurable intervals and optionally by satellite as well (Iridium SBD).
The ML-x17 is available with 4 different cellular modems:
• ML-217: 2G Global
• ML-317: 3G Global with 2G fall-back
• ML-417: 4G Europe with 2G fall-back
• ML-N417: 4G North-America with 3G fall-back
When equipped with the integrated solar panel a complete self providing remote monitoring station can be arranged, all you need is the ML-417 and applicable sensor(s). This self providing cellular data logger is cost saving, because you don’t need: a) solar panels, b) big batteries, c) cellular modem and d) encapsulating cabinet.
