KTA-282 Modbus TCP Weather Station Gateway

The KTA-282 gateway allows you to easily connect your PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), RTU (Remote Telemetry Unit) or SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Aquisition) System to one of the following Davis weather stations:

• 6152 Cabled Vantage Pro 2
• 6162 Wireless Vantage Pro 2 Plus
• 6153 Wireless Vantage Pro 2 Fan Aspirated
• 6163 Wireless Vantage Pro 2 Plus Fan Aspirated
• 6316 Wireless Weather Envoy (with Wireless ISS Plus, ISS Solar Fan Aspirated or ISS Plus Solar Fan Aspirated)
• 6250 Vantage Vue

The gateway plugs into the weather station's console using the Davis WeatherLink cable (Weather Link for Vantage Pro Serial) and appears on the Modbus network as a Modbus TCP/IP or RTU slave. This allows your programmable controller to monitor and carry out actions based on wind speed, wind direction, temperature, etc.
