Adaptor box for soil moisture sensor SWCSM-075
Product description
The ADPT-SWCSM is an adapter box designed to connect the SWCSM-075 soil moisture sensor to a Sentera Modbus network. It provides a 24 VDC supply voltage via Power over Modbus (PoM).
The box features an M12 connector socket for the SWCSM-075 sensor and two RJ45 sockets for daisy-chaining multiple sensors to the network. Installation is straightforward, and a green LED indicates the power status.
It is built to withstand harsh conditions, with an IP67 protection standard for the connector and an IP65 standard for the enclosure.
The adapter can operate in ambient temperatures from -30 to 70 °C and 0-100% relative humidity (non-condensing), ensuring a reliable and easy integration of soil moisture sensors into a Modbus network.
Additional specifications and description
What is the Importance of Soil Moisture and Water Balance for Plant Health and Agricultural Sustainability?
For the growth of top-notch plants, a healthy soil moisture and water balance must be maintained. Plants in dry soil stunt and wilt due to nutrient deficiencies. Plants grow less resistant to dry conditions later in their life cycles and are more susceptible to disease pressure in wet soil. The plant will become suffocated and die from excessive watering. Agrichemicals are less likely to leach when irrigation is done effectively. 
How Does the Adapter Box Work and How Does It Connect Sensors?
This adapter box is designed for the SWCSM-075 soil moisture sensor. The two RJ45 sockets make it possible to connect multiple sensors while maintaining the line topology of the Modbus RTU network. The sensors can be daisy-chained. Both 24 V DC power supply and Modbus RTU communication can be connected via a UTP cable with RJ45 connector. The SWCSM-075 moisture sensor has an integrated cable with M12 connector that can be connected to this adaptor box.
What are the Features of the Product's Enclosure and What Kind of Protection Does It Provide?
The enclosure is made of high-quality r-ABS VO (UL94) plastic. This material is very tough and offers good protection against impacts. It offers an IP65 protection against ingress of dust and water.
