8.9 Connecting a SMART sensor via RS-485
Up to 8 Modbus® SMART sensors can be addressed by the LOGBOX SE. Each one needs a unique address. Instructions for
setting the address are in section 10.9
All Kipp & Zonen SMP- SGR- SUV - SHP sensors have the following connections:
The sensors need constant power to stabilise and to be able to provide fast response to irradiation level changes.
blue and black wire(s) GND
white wire(s)
BATTOUT or parallel to POWER input
yellow Modbus® B/B'/+ wire(s)
grey Modbus® A/A'/- wire(s)
The Kipp & Zonen RT1 rooftop sensor with black data cable uses:
The blue and green wire(s) GND
The red wire BATTOUT or parallel to POWER input
The grey Modbus® Data + wire(s)
The yellow Modbus® Data - wire(s)
All remaining wires need to be isolated properly.
