The right products for your challenges. 01 Connect soil and climate data Connect third-party soil sensors to collectors over RS-485; add LoRaWAN temperature/humidity sensors at greenhouse monitoring points.
Soil probes are third-party devices. Verify power, protocols and installation protection for the site. 02 Keep existing instruments and probes Choose protocol acquisition for RS-485 devices or analog acquisition for instruments with current or voltage outputs.
KC25 is a DIN-rail collector for control cabinets that meet its operating requirements. 03 Complete field connectivity and the platform Choose gateways for outdoor conditions and platform location to connect distributed sensors and collectors.
GD62 connects to an external platform; GD72 includes the full ThinkLink platform. Confirm coverage through terrain assessment, installation placement and on-site tests.
RECONNECT / KEEP EXISTING EQUIPMENT WORKING
Start with the actual interface. Build on existing integrations. Confirm interfaces, power and device protocols before choosing collectors and adapters. EdgeBus integration documentation is available for these third-party devices.
