  • Overview

    Delivering quality data where and when you need it most.

    Introducing the EXO Modbus Signal Output Adapter from YSI, designed with and engineered for compatibility with the EXO sonde platform. As technology develops rapidly, it's more critical than ever to have a flexible sonde to keep up.

    A fundamental part of the EXO Sonde platform is the ability to adapt its communication output to match different monitoring applications. Configure a sonde with this adapter, and the instrument will then be compatible with industrial SCADA systems or PCs and tablets with USB connectivity. Converts the proprietary signal from an EXO Sonde into a Modbus protocol over RS-232 or RS-485.
