The 3-Way Analog Adapter model M512C is intended to be used on SDI-12 bus systems. It converts several analog, pulse and digital inputs to the SDI-12 bus protocol and specification.
With the M512C you can connect:
up to 3 analog sensors with output ranges of 0 to 1V, 0 to 1.25, 0 to 2.5V or 0 to 5V (individually programmable) and
While the physical connexion to the bus can be configured either for native SDI-12 signaling or RS-485, the protocol employed is always SDI-12. The M512 adaptor is available in slightly different variations and can be customized to your individual needs or bus systems on a project basis.
