Crodeon Sensor Adapter (Modbus / RS-485 Adapter)

The Modbus / RS-485 Adapter enables communication between Reporter and third-party sensors that use Modbus or RS-485 protocols for data output. The adapter can also manage power supply options, supporting sensors via internal battery or external power for flexible deployment.

Sensor compatibility made easy

We designed Reporter to make your remote monitoring projects easy and plug & play, but not all sensors can directly be plugged into our sensor device. An extra step is needed, a module that can translate the raw measurement data into something Reporter can easily understand.

This interpretive module is our Sensor Adapter.

We speak your sensor's language

Different sensors communicate to the data logger (Reporter) in different languages, which is why you need to use the right Sensor Adapter to make sure data is interpreted correctly. When you buy a sensor from our shop we send you the right adapter to ensure smooth data transmission.

If you want to connect your own sensor to one of our adapters you can check what kind of data output it comes with and what Sensor Adapter fits its language.
