The SDM-SIO1A is a serial I/O expansion module for Campbell Scientific data loggers. It is designed to add an additional RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 (half- or full-duplex) serial port to an SDM-capable data logger for the purposes of interfacing with an intelligent sensor, actuator, or display. Up to 15 SDM-SIO1A modules can be connected to a single data logger SDM port. The SDM-SIO1A behaves much like a native data logger serial port and uses the same familiar serial I/O commands. The SDM-SIO1A is transient and surge protected to IEC61000-4-5 level 4 on the serial port interface, avoiding the need for separate transient protection in most applications.
Leia maisThe SDM-SIO1A connects to a remote serial device using industry-standard hardware that can be set to true RS-232, RS-485, or RS-422 signal levels. When operating in RS-232 mode, the module also supports hardware handshaking. RS-422 mode is functionally the same as RS-485 mode, except the connection is limited to a point-to-point system. Connections and programming for RS-422 are otherwise identical to RS-485.
The SDM-SIO1A will accept serial data up to 6143 bytes and store it in its buffer. This allows remote equipment to transmit large amounts of data without needing to stop other processes in the data logger.
Up to 15 SDM-SIO1A modules can be connected to a single data logger using the SDM port, allowing a user to connect 15 different serial devices to a data logger with ease. This is in addition to any connections made to the data loggers via other serial ports.
The SDM Jumper Wire Kit (pn 32505) connects up to four SDMs to the data logger. This kit is recommended when multiple SDMs are connected to one data logger or for extremely short distances between the SDM and data logger. The CABLE5CBL-L cable is recommended for connecting a single SDM to the data logger, and for longer distances between the SDM and data logger.

Voltage |
|
Operating Temperature | -40°C to +70°C (standard) |
Standard Humidity Range | 0 to 95% (non-condensing) |
EMC Compliance | The SDM-SIO1A has been tested and shown to comply with IEC 61326. The device incorporates transient and surge protection that is designed to meet IEC61000-4-5, level 4, providing the device is adequately grounded. |
Mounting Clips | Optional DIN rail mounting clips are available, which can be fitted to the base of the case. |
Mounting Holes | Two spaced 7.6 cm (3 in.) apart |
Dimensions | 6.4 x 6.25 x 2.2 cm (2.51 x 2.46 x 0.86 in.) excluding mounting tabs |
Buffer Sizes |
|
-NOTE- | Both transmit and receive buffers are fill and discard type. That is, after the buffers become full, no new information is accepted and all further data is discarded until space is made when the data logger requests data from the SDM-SIO1A. |
Transmit Buffer Size | 767 bytes (buffer from the data logger to the sensor) |
Receive Buffer Size | 6143 bytes (buffer from the sensor to the data logger) |
Current Consumption |
|
Standby Current |
|
Active Current | 9.6 to 11.7 mA (depending on transmit mode and connections made) |

The SDM-SIO1A does NOT support auto baud rate detection nor the use of the serial port for general PakBus communications.
The SDM-SIO1A requires a desiccated, non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. The SDM-SIO1A has built-in keyhole flanges for mounting to the backplates of Campbell Scientific enclosures.
