Hi there
I am am undertaking a project involving a portable battery powered box that houses 6 modbus sensors. The box is required to collect data for a duration of about 2 - 5min at a time and then the results exported so they can be used to generate a report.
I'm wondering what options people would recommend using for such a task? Being battery powered it would want to be as efficient as possible.
I initially thought something like an arduino but then decided it needed to be of industrial spec. This lead me to the IOT2040 with onboard RS-485. There are also stand alone dataloggers such as the KTA-287 by ocean controls that would possibly use less power but be a little more simple. The 2040 would allow for further addition of things like wireless connectivity, I'm just not too sure if its over the top
Thanks for your help!
