E.4 RS-485 Communications using an SDM-SIO1
Serial I/O Module
The HC2S3 can be interfaced to a Campbell Scientific datalogger through an
SDM-SIO1 Serial I/O Module using the Rotronic E2-05XX-MOD RS485
cable as described below.
The example program uses the SerialOpen instruction to configure the SDM-
SIO1 for RS-485 half duplex, “COMport 32” at 19200 baud, no parity, 1 stop
bit, and 8 data bits, and serial instructions to send the RDD command to get
temperature and relative humidity data from the probe.

If the Rotronic cable includes brown and white wires (voltage
signals for temperature and humidity), Campbell Scientific
recommends “capping” them with pn 27749 or equivalent
insulated caps to prevent the possibility of shorting.
