Modbus Bridge
Converts wired Modbus devices such as energy meters and sensors to the LoRa long range wireless network for display, analysis & recording.
Product Code: ENL-MOD-32
enLink Modbus instantly converts wired Modbus devices such as meters, PLC’s and sensors to LoRa long range wireless. Any instrument, device or sensor with a wired Modbus RS485 interface can be read and converted to a LoRaWAN wireless device. Modbus registered values are transmitted to the cloud using long range LoRa wireless where the device data can be displayed and analysed. The unit has been tested by UL to internationally recognised Safety Standards and is UL listed under File Number E504478.
Modbus automation communication protocols are one of the most widely adopted systems for connecting industrial electronic devices, allowing the integration of equipment from different manufacturers.
Based on LoRaWAN
Technology
Our enLink wireless products use a revolutionary wireless technology called LoRaWAN. LoRa and LoraWAN belong to the category of non-cellular LPWAN wireless communication network protocols, operating in the license-free spectrum.
LoRaWAN technology offers phenomenal range and exceptionally low power requirements, supporting large networks for millions of devices. Deep in-building penetration extends 1-2km. Real-time readings from Synetica devices are transmitted to the cloud without the need for repeaters, where data can be visualised and analysed.

Instrument
enLink Modbus can handle up to 32 Modbus readings, e.g. 5 Modbus slave devices each with 6 parameters per slave and transmits the data from the slaves periodically, based on a user configurable interval. As with all enLink devices, your data is securely transferred using AES 128 encryption.
Each unit is quickly and easily configured using simple menus via the USB connection. All parameters can be changed using the device menus and Modbus data can be read, converted and displayed to verify that the correct readings are being obtained from the Modbus devices. Once an individual Modbus data point has been correctly configured, a clone function allows the parameters to be copied to the next item to allow rapid configuration and verification of all Modbus data points.
