ACE-THL-MB: IP65 Modbus Light, Temperature, Humidity Sensor connected to HMI

 

If you are looking for a light, temperature and humidity sensor to connect to our HMI… Take a look at our ACE-THL-MB

HMI project

 

Basic HMI project for read the sensor values via the Modbus protocole over RS485

(*) Addresses always start with 0 for the Modbus RTU protocol, but for technical reasons some controllers start with 1

 

Read with Modbus-Doctor Software

For ACE-THL-MB version 1

  • Modbus-Doctor is connected to a USB to RS485 converter
  • The light, temperature and humidity sensor is supplied with 12 or 24 VDC and connected to terminals A+ and B- of the USB to RS485 converter
