Overview
The CR310 is a multi-purpose, compact, low-cost measurement and control data logger that includes an integrated 10/100 Ethernet port and removable terminal connectors. This entry-level data logger, with its rich instruction set, can measure most hydrological, meteorological, environmental, and industrial sensors. It concentrates and makes data available over varied networks, with delivery using your preferred protocol. The CR310 also performs automated on-site or remote decision-making for control and M2M communications. The CR310 is ideal for small applications requiring long-term, remote monitoring and control.
The CR310 has multiple radio options that are suitable for different regions:
- CR310-RF407: US and Canada
- CR310-RF412: Australia and New Zealand
- CR310-RF422: UK and EU
- CR310-RF427: Brazil
Note: Campbell Scientific does not recommend the CR310 for use as a PakBus router in networks with more than 50 devices. Large arrays or string variables may also reach memory limits. For such applications, a CR1000Xe Measurement and Control Datalogger is recommended.
