Introducing the EXO Modbus Signal Output Adapter from YSI, designed with and engineered for compatibility with the EXO sonde platform. As technology continues to develop at record pace, it's more critical than ever to have a flexible sonde that can keep up.
A fundamental part of the EXO Sonde platform is the ability to adapt its communication output to match different monitoring applications. Simply configure a sonde with this adapter and the instrument is then compatible with industrial SCADA systems, or PCs and tablets with USB connectivity. Converts the proprietary signal from an EXO Sonde into a Modbus protocol over RS-232 or RS-485.
Discover the benefits of EXO Adapters:
Integrate your EXO sonde into numerous monitoring
applications without the hassle of purchasing all new hardware.
Perform firmware updates to your sonde and
sensors to optimize performance over time.
View your sonde’s logging status at a glance, with
integrated LED indicators built into your monitoring station.
Setup and configure instrumentation without it leaving the water, using USB or passthrough connections.
USB Passthrough mode:
Communicate directly with an underwater sonde, via USB through an EXO adapter, without having to disturb the Sonde.
