Kipp & Zonen SMP3, SMP10, SMP11 (Modbus RTU)

Last modified:

  • Set the bus address on the sensor (see sensor documentation).

  • If the device is the last one on the RS485 bus, terminate the bus with a 120 Ω terminating resistor.

  • Various Modbus devices can only be queried together if the serial communication parameters are identical (baud rate, number of data bits, parity, stop bits).

  • Pyranometers can be used to measure irradiance either in horizontal or module plane.
