Only use the method below as a last resort.
Overview
Master logger firmware: 1.5T446.
slave logger needs 4.0.6 or prior version.
The SA380 data logger can have one SA380 slave attached over Ethernet. This has been used in several level crossing installations where additional channels are required. It can also facilitate use of the push model with the SA380TX pushing data to a central server such as centrix.
- A Single SA380 slave is supported
- The connection is over ethernet
- RS485 slaves are also supported simultaneously
The following illustration shows how the devices are connected together:
