Product Highlights
  • Flexible hardware/software design for use across multiple projects
  • Tool-free DIN rail mounting for quick and easy installation
  • Seamless integration with Modbus, SDI-12, and JSON protocols
  • Compatible with a wide range of data loggers, including Campbell Scientific
  • Open-source code repository for easy customization

Overview

Easily integrate beadedstream Digital Temperature Cables (DTCs) with your data loggers or SCADA systems using Recite. This versatile tool transforms beadedstream DTCs into Modbus, SDI-12, or JSON nodes, allowing seamless communication and data collection. Designed for straightforward panel box integration, Recite is frequently paired with Campbell Scientific loggers and similar systems. To further simplify setup, we provide a publicly available code repository with example code, making it easier than ever to integrate and customize Recite for your unique needs.

FAQs

We provide the necessary settings and documentation to help you program the data logger but the actual programming is typically done by the user or someone familiar with the third party logger. The Recite can be configured at beadedstream with a few key settings to help the programmer save time. Contact us if you are purchasing a Recite and know what configuration you’d like it shipped with. Examples below:

 

Modbus RS-485 Programming:

 

Protocol: Choose between Modbus-RTU, Modbus-ASCII, or JSON.

Baud Rate: Options are 9600, 1200, or 115200.

Format: Select from 8N1, 7E1, or 7E2.

Address: Any value between 1 and 247.

 

SDI-12 Protocol:

 

Address: Choose a value from 0 to 9.

 

For additional programming support, we now offer a publicly available code repository with example code to help integrate other loggers with beadedstream cables. This code is open source. Submit a pull request if you want to contribute!

No, the Recite product is not weatherproof, so it must be installed within an enclosure at the site, such as a data logger enclosure or a panel box.

One Recite unit is required per cable.
