What products are involved?
This article is based on using the Rheonics Sensor Module Electronics Transmitter Display (SME-TRD) and the Sensor View App


What is the purpose of this article?
This article demonstrates how to configure communication parameters on the Rheonics SME-TRD using the Rheonics SensorView App via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).


1. Overview

Rheonics SensorView App is a mobile application that connects with Rheonics sensors via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for real-time monitoring. The SME-TRD transmitter supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to configure communication parameters wirelessly, such as Ethernet, Modbus RTU (RS-485), Profinet Station Name, LCD Display, and Location ID.
