The MD485 is an intelligent RS-485 interface that permits a PC to address and communicate with one or more dataloggers over a distance of up to 1219 m. This interface also supports datalogger-to-datalogger communications, callback from a remote datalogger, PC-to-printer communications, and digital camera-to-datalogger connections.

Benefits and Features

  • Compatible with most Campbell Scientific dataloggers
  • Can be used with a phone modem, Ethernet link, or spread spectrum radio to extend the distance between the datalogger and PC
  • Increases the distance allowed between a CC5MPX digital camera and a PakBus datalogger
  • Extends the distance between AVW200 Vibrating Wire Interfaces for situations where wireless communication is impractical
  • Internal buffering ensures that data is not lost during transmission and allows each side to operate at different baud rates
  • Includes gas tubes on the RS-485 ports and a ground lug for better surge protection
  • Communicates at rates up to 115.2 kbps
