The Ackcio BEAM-DG Digital Node is a wireless data acquisition module designed for digital sensors operating via RS232, RS485, or SDI-12 communication protocols, enabling fully automated monitoring in geotechnical, structural, and environmental applications.
It forms part of Ackcio’s advanced wireless mesh ecosystem, allowing direct digital communication between field sensors and the central monitoring gateway without manual intervention or cabling complexity.
The BEAM-DG supports MODBUS RTU, SDI-12, and custom serial communication protocols, providing exceptional versatility and compatibility with a wide range of third-party instruments and data loggers.
The node supports baud rates between 4800 and 115200, with multiple digital ports (RS232, RS485, and SDI-12) allowing flexible integration of various sensor types including ShapeArrays, in-place inclinometers, tiltmeters, and smart digital sensors.
Designed for reliability in harsh environments, the BEAM-DG features a rugged die-cast aluminium enclosure with IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +80 °C.
Power can be supplied internally by high-capacity Li-SOCl₂ batteries or externally from a 12 V DC source, ensuring long-term autonomous operation.
Wireless communication is handled by Ackcio Mesh, a low-power, self-healing network providing secure (AES-128 encrypted) and long-range connectivity up to 5 km in line-of-sight conditions.
Configuration and diagnostics are managed through the Ackcio Nimbus Android application, enabling rapid deployment and simplified network maintenance.
The system includes comprehensive surge, short-circuit, and reverse-supply protection to ensure stable field performance and long-term reliability.
Mounting options include a durable multi-purpose bracket that supports both vertical and horizontal installations on structural surfaces or poles.
