Data loggers

DL5

DL5 is the only data logger in our offer with a standard housing size of 144 x 144 mm.
The device is intended to measure process signals in industrial applications and may be used to measure physical values processed into a standard signals, e.g. temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, level and chemical parameters, etc.
Data logger  can communicate with master system through Ethernet port (Modbus TCP protocol, web server) or through RS-485 port (Modbus RTU protocol) and can work in distributed control systems.
