Model BKC MT RS485-MB
Module Temperature Sensor BKC MT RS485-MB
PV module back-of-panel temperature sensor with RS485 Modbus output.
Overview
BKC MT RS485-MB module temperature sensors measure PV panel temperature with a Pt1000 or Pt100 RTD element and report over RS485 using the Modbus RTU protocol.
They are ideal for integrating with PLCs, SCADA systems, data loggers and other industrial automation solutions in solar power plants.
