Seamless Integration: CODA Noise Sensors as the Ultimate OEM Component

Seamless Integration: Why CODA is the Ultimate OEM Noise Sensor Module for Your Systems

For Global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and System Integrators, the component selection process is a balancing act. You need reliability, precision, and—most importantly—compatibility. When adding environmental noise monitoring capabilities to your smart city pole, industrial PLC system, or environmental data logger, you cannot afford a "black box" that fights your architecture.

Enter the CODA Noise Sensor. Designed explicitly as an OEM noise sensor module, CODA is built to disappear into your system, providing high-fidelity acoustic data through the industry-standard interfaces you already use.

Here is your sensor integration guide to the electrical interfaces, communication protocols, and mechanical footprint that make CODA the "plug-and-play" choice for global developers.

1. Electrical Interfaces: Universal Connectivity

Whether you are connecting to a modern IoT gateway or a legacy industrial controller, CODA offers versatile output options to match your hardware ecosystem.

Digital Output: RS485 (The Smart Choice)

For data-rich applications, our RS485 interface is the standard.

• Daisy-Chaining: Easily network multiple sensors on a single bus.

• Cable Length: Supports long-distance transmission (up to 1200m) without signal degradation, ideal for sprawling industrial plants or mining sites.

• Interference Immunity: Differential signaling ensures robust performance in electrically noisy environments.

Analog Output: 4-20mA and Voltage

For direct integration with PLCs, SCADA systems, or standard data loggers, CODA operates as a high-precision 4-20mA noise transducer or Voltage output device.

• Current Loop (4-20mA): The industry standard for interference-free long-distance transmission.

• Mapping: 4mA = 30dB, 20mA = 130dB (Customizable ranges available).

• Voltage Output (0-5V / 0-10V): Simple, linear voltage outputs for general-purpose A/D converters and microcontrollers.

2. Communication Protocols: Speaking Your Language

Hardware connectivity is useless without a common language. CODA supports the two most dominant protocols in the industrial and environmental sectors.

Modbus RTU (RS485)

As a native Modbus RTU noise sensor, CODA integrates seamlessly with HMI screens, PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi), and SCADA systems.

• Standard Register Map: We provide a transparent register map. Read Decibels (dB), Frequency Weighting (A/C/Z), and Time Weighting (Fast/Slow) directly from specific holding registers.

• Configurability: Change slave IDs and baud rates (9600, 19200, etc.) over the bus to avoid address conflicts in complex networks.

SDI-12 (Serial Data Interface at 1200 Baud)

For low-power, remote environmental telemetry stations (like Campbell Scientific or onset loggers), CODA supports the SDI-12 protocol.

• Sleep Mode: Optimized for battery and solar-powered setups, waking up only when polled by the data logger.

3. Mechanical Integration: Compact and Rugged

We understand that real estate inside your enclosure or on your mounting bracket is limited.

• Compact Footprint: The CODA module is minimized to fit into tight spaces without sacrificing sensor diaphragm size.

• Mounting: Features standard M-thread mounting holes or bracket compatibility for easy attachment to poles, walls, or machine chassis.

• Durability: The microphone capsule is protected by a specialized wind cap and weather-proof housing, ensuring the sensor survives the same harsh conditions as your host equipment.

4. Developer Support: We Don't Just Sell Hardware

We view our relationship with OEMs as a partnership. To ensure a smooth "Hello World" experience, we provide:

• Wiring Diagrams: Clear, color-coded schematics for 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire setups.

• API & Register Documentation: Comprehensive guides detailing every Modbus register address and SDI-12 command.

• Calibration Certificates: Every unit ships with factory calibration data to ensure your system meets Class 2 or Class 1 standards out of the box.

Conclusion

Don't let acoustic monitoring be the bottleneck in your product development. Whether you are building a construction dust monitoring station that needs noise data, or a smart factory dashboard, CODA provides the interfaces (RS485, 4-20mA) and protocols (Modbus, SDI-12) to make integration effortless.
