SkyVUE Pro Ethernet Option
Document Date: March 2020

CSL I.D - 1337
Summary
This document describes the configuration of a MOXA 5230A-T Ethernet adapter which has been
pre-installed in a SkyVUE Pro ceilometer. It should be read in combination with the User Guides for
the SkyVUE Pro and MOXA NPort 5000 Ethernet converter.
The Ethernet adaptor is setup as a TCP terminal server, which allows connection to the sensor over
an Ethernet connection, using software su
ch as Campbell Scientific’s Viewpoint software. Any
commands that are described in the SkyVUE Pro that can be sent via the serial output can be sent via
the IP socket.
The SkyVUE Pro serial output can be converted back to standard serial (RS232/RS485) use by moving
cables inside the sensor as described below. When converted back the standard communications
cable at the base of sensor can be used as described in the SkyVUE Pro manual.
