Press Release Summary = DataStick sensors eliminate analog wiring and field calibration.
DataStick is a patent pending modular sensor system that provides a superior alternative to analog sensors in a wide range of applications including water, waste water, food, beverage, chemical, pulp & paper, and other process control. The DataStick modular design has three basic interchangeable parts that delivers a number of benefits to users.
The DataStick enables programmable controllers, industrial PCs, and commercial PCs to perform in a wide range of applications that in the past could only be done with expensive Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or process instruments. These applications can now be accomplished with Programmable logic controllers and PCs since DataSticks delivers flawless 24 bit resolution analog data directly over industrial networks including DeviceNet, Profibus, Modbus, Rockwell DF-1, USB, RS-232, and RS-485 to measure pH, ORP, DO, Ozone, Conductivity, Suspended Solids, and Resistivity. In addition temperature is measured with all sensors. This analog data quality is equal to or better than most DCS and process instruments deliver.

Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin: DataStick is a patent pending modular sensor system that provides a superior alternative to analog sensors in a wide range of applications including water, waste water, food, beverage, chemical, pulp & paper, and other process control. The DataStick modular design has three basic interchangeable parts that delivers a number of benefits to users.
The DataStick enables programmable controllers, industrial PCs, and commercial PCs to perform in a wide range of applications that in the past could only be done with expensive Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or process instruments. These applications can now be accomplished with Programmable logic controllers and PCs since DataSticks delivers flawless 24 bit resolution analog data directly over industrial networks including DeviceNet, Profibus, Modbus, Rockwell DF-1, USB, RS-232, and RS-485 to measure pH, ORP, DO, Ozone, Conductivity, Suspended Solids, and Resistivity. In addition temperature is measured with all sensors. This analog data quality is equal to or better than most DCS and process instruments deliver.
The DataStick modular design provides significant cost savings lowering overall cost, simplifying maintenance and calibration. The DataStick system can be remotely calibrated, configured and diagnosed with any computer, HMI, or PLC through a single network cable. Three parts make up the DataStick system to create the innovative new sensor system.
DataStick sensor body The DataStickTM sensor body is common to all applications and accepts DataStick sensor heads and DataStick network interfaces.
DataStick Sensor Head Factory calibrated DataStick sensor heads contain the sensor, 24 bit analog to digital converter, and a temperature sensor. Signal loss or electrical interference from wiring is eliminated with this concept. Maintenance and repair is greatly simplified with DataStick hot swappable sensor heads that are changed without replacing the entire sensor and avoids rewiring.
DataStick sensor heads come factory calibrated and can be recalibrated in an office or lab. No more fumbling around with calibration solutions at the process, simply rotate DataStick sensor heads.
DataStick Network Interface Modules DataSticks Network Interface Modules provide network interfaces to popular industrial field buses including DeviceNet, Profibus, Modbus, Rockwell DF-1, USB, RS-232, and RS-485.
AquaSensors offers standard fitting shapes/sizes for common mounting applications; AquaSensors engineers can custom design the DataStick body to fit any shape or size of fitting. Sensor bodies are available in CPVC, 316 Stainless Steel, PEEKŪ and other materials.
AquaSensors LLC was established to develop revolutionary sensor design offerings using integrated digital communications, remote adjustments, interchangeable factory calibrated sensor heads, and plug-and-play installation.
