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 will concentrate data, making it available over varied networks and deliver it 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 primary differences between the CR300 and CR310 are that the CR310 offers removable connectors and a 10/100 Ethernet connection.

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: Europe

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 CR1000X Measurement and Control Datalogger is recommended.
