- Resolution: ±1 mV / ±0.5 mA
Smart Traceability Engine
Each measurement cycle records a Trace Point (TP) containing:
- Irradiance (W/m²), Cell T (°C), Ambient T / RH (%)
- Channel parameters (V, I, P, MPP values)
- Status flags and QA metadata
Exportable in CSV / JSON / ZIP for cloud or lab analysis.
Software Dashboard
Intuitive control from any PC:

Experience in Industrial and Nuclear Instrumentation
AMBIMETRICS has extensive experience in the specification, design, programming, construction, and deployment of instrumentation systems for meteorological towers. These systems are critical safety components in nuclear power plants, as they play a fundamental role in monitoring atmospheric dispersion of gaseous emissions, ensuring compliance with Regulatory Guide RG 1.23.
Their function is fundamental in both routine environmental monitoring and emergency response scenarios, providing real-time data for regulatory compliance and risk assessment. Due to the stringent performance requirements, efficiency, and competitiveness of our designs, they meet the necessary standards for installation in refineries, as demonstrated by their successful implementation at the BP Refinery in Castellón.
Meteorological tower instrumentation is essential for radiological environmental monitoring and serves as a safety mechanism in the event of an accident involving radioactive releases. By providing real-time meteorological data, these systems help operators predict dispersion patterns, assess radiation exposure risks, and implement emergency response measures to protect personnel, the public, and the environment.
AMBIMETRICS designs and supplies two types of meteorological tower systems:
- Simple Towers – Single-system setups, ideal for standard monitoring applications.
- Advanced Towers – Redundant, dual-system configurations for increased reliability and regulatory compliance.
Our expertise covers all phases of system development, ensuring that the meteorological monitoring infrastructure meets the strictest safety and operational standards:
- Design – Tailoring solutions to the specific requirements of each facility.
- Mounting Structure Management – Engineering and assembling robust and stable tower structures.
- Instrumentation and PLC Programming – Implementing automated Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) for real-time data acquisition and processing.
- Compliance with Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) Requirements – Ensuring adherence to safety, operational, and redundancy standards.
- Tower Firmware (FW) Development – Creating and optimizing embedded systems for efficient sensor integration.
- Auxiliary Software Implementation – Developing applications to support data collection, analysis, and reporting.
- Historical PC (CSN Critical Component) – Establishing a secure, CSN-mandated historical data repository for regulatory tracking and analysis.
- Maintenance PC for Instrumentation Management – Providing dedicated software and hardware for system diagnostics and performance monitoring.
By integrating state-of-the-art sensors, real-time data transmission, and automated control systems, AMBIMETRICS ensures that nuclear power plants have reliable and accurate meteorological data to support both day-to-day operations and emergency response protocols. Our solutions are designed for long-term stability and resilience, guaranteeing the functionality of these mission-critical safety systems under all operating conditions.
