Wiring Method:
1. If the sensor is equipped with our instrument, connect the sensor directly to the corresponding interface on the instrument using the sensor cable.
Description of the Sensor for Modbus:
If you are connecting multiple sensors to a PLC, configuration or programmable acquisition, the standard ModBus-RTU (hex transmit and receive) is recommended.
Standard ModBus-RTU
1. Serial port format
Data bit 8, stop bit 1, check bit none, baud rate 9600bps, serial debugging software set to hex send and receive, two communication interval of at least 1000ms, CRC in the manual for check bit, 2 bytes.
2. Register address
YGC-SM Soil integrated sensor can integrate up to 8 soil elements, namely soil temperature, soil moisture, PH, and soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content. Each element has its own register address.
Troubleshooting:
The sensor display value is incorrect when analog signal or RS485 output. The correct data cannot be obtained because the cable connection is faulty or the communication serial port is faulty. Check whether the cable connection is correct and secure, whether the serial port is occupied, and whether the serial port Settings are correct.
Features
1、Premium Materials: The detection pin is made of 304 stainless steel, having no electrolysis isolation design, and can be buried in soil for long term dynamic testing.
2、Perfectly Sealed: The soil sensor has the design of epoxy resin vacuum potting, having better sealing performance, waterproof and easy to use.
3、Easy to Use: The soil detector has a simple use, install and play, can be inserted into shallow or deep depth to detect the PH, moisture, conductivity of the soil.
4、Excellent Performance: The soil moisture sensor has high accuracy, quick response, good interchangeability, probe insertion design ensures accurate measurement and reliable performance.
5、Various Application: The soil moisture tester is less affected by the salt content of the soil and can be applied to all kinds of soil, having a variety of application.
