Überblick
The SDM-SIO4 is a legacy product and should be purchased only as a replacement or for use with legacy data loggers such as the CR10X. When considering the purchase of an SDM-SIO4, first consider using the SDM-SIO1 instead. Please note that the SDM-SIO4 is not compatible with all data loggers.
Primarily for legacy data loggers, the SDM-SIO4 adds serial I/O capacity and flexibility. It has four serial ports that communicate with serial sensors, display boards, printers, and other serial devices. After being programmed, the SDM-SIO4 communicates with connected devices in parallel with the data logger's own program sequence.

Buffers (each port) |
|
| Type | Fill & stop (Once filled, additional data received is lost.) |
| Receive (Rx) | 981 bytes + 16-byte hardware buffer |

Additional Compatibility Information
Note: Future data loggers may not support the SDM-SIO4, and therefore it is only recommended for existing networks that already contain this interface.
Data Logger Considerations
Programming
The SDMSIO4 Instruction controls the SDM-SIO4 operation in CRBasic. Instruction 113 controls SDM-SIO4 operation in Edlog (a Library Special PROM may be required in older data loggers).
Power Requirements
Because of the minimal current drain (0.7 mA quiescent, 40 mA with all four ports active), the SDM-SIO4 is typically powered directly from the data logger. A supplementary power supply may be required for some applications, especially where more than one SDM is operated by a single data logger.
Enclosure Considerations
The SDM-SIO4 requires a desiccated, non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. The SDM-SIO4's case has mounting flanges for attachment to the 1"-on-center hole grid of Campbell Scientific enclosures. Grommets and screws are provided to attach the flanges to the backplate of our enclosures.

-
The battery is a CR2032 button cell lithium battery that is user replaceable. However, after the case is opened, proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection is required.
-
Use four SDM-SIO1s or a single SDM-SIO4.
-
Load the string to a buffer in the SDM-SIO4, and issue the command to send the string. For details, see the SDM-SIO4 Instruction Manual.
-
It depends. It is possible to connect serial sensors to a datalogger without the use of an SDM-SIO4. However, if the sensors require hardware flow control or true RS-232 voltage levels, an SDM-SIO4 may be needed. The SDM-SIO1 also works with RS-485 signals and is a preferred alternative to the SDM-SIO4.
-
Not the same, but similar. The SDM-SIO4 provides RS-232 voltage levels; the CR1000 control ports provide 0 to 5 V only. Both usually work with all sensors, and both devices are compatible with RS-232 and TTL logic. The CR1000 is easier to set up and program for serial input. The SDM-SIO1 is a preferred alternative to the SDM-SIO4.
When compared to the CR10X, the CR1000 can handle strings as a specific data type. It also has more integrated serial interfaces including the following:
- Four control port pairs—COM1 (C1 TX / C2 RX) through COM4 (C7 TX / C8 RX)
- RS-232 port
- CS I/O port for connection to CS I/O peripherals
The serial I/O capabilities of the CR1000/CR3000 are similar to, and faster than, the SDM-SIO4 capabilities on a CR10X or CR23X. SDM devices are addressable and are connected to a datalogger on C1 through C3. Therefore, one benefit of using multiple SDM devices on a CR1000 datalogger is that only three control ports are used.
