Hello Teltonika community!
I’m interested in learning more about Teltonika devices and would really appreciate your insights on two sensor setup scenarios I’m currently working on:
Project 1 – Capacitive Fuel Sensors (Tanker Truck):
I’m working on a project involving capacitive fuel sensors, similar to the setup shown in this video (starting at 12:34):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVMbfVd4mGs&t=815s
In the video, three sensors are connected to the RS485 port of the tracking device.
What I understand so far:
- In LLS mode, the device supports only one RS232 sensor.
- In RS485 mode, it can support up to five sensors.
My main questions:
- How exactly are multiple sensors connected when using RS485 mode?
- Are they wired in parallel, or is there a specific bus or daisy-chain configuration required?
- If anyone has a diagram or wiring reference for this type of RS485 multi-sensor connection, it would be extremely helpful!
Project 2 – Ultrasonic Sensors via RS232 or RS485:
In another project, I’m planning to use ultrasonic sensors for measuring liquid level or distance.
My questions:
- If connected via RS232, is it possible to wire two sensors in parallel, or is RS232 strictly one-to-one?
- If the ultrasonic sensor uses RS485 instead, would that allow for multiple sensors on the same line — similar to the fuel sensor setup above?
Thanks in advance for any advice, wiring tips, or examples you can share! ![]()
Looking forward to learning more from this great community.
Kind regards,
Paulo
