The Sense IoT Serial Modbus Gateway (SMG) acts as a
data concentrator for Sense IoT long range wireless
sensor networks. This device allows you to connect up to
50 wireless sensing devices, per gateway, to your
existing serial Modbus RS-232C and RS-485 sensing
and control infrastructures.
Sense IoT has recognized the importance of using open
standards like Modbus, allowing Sense IoT wireless
sensors to be used in the majority of industrial
applications. Modbus is often used to connect a
supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU)
in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
systems. Modbus allows for communication between
many (approximately 247) devices connected to the
same wired network. Therefore, Sense IoT's Serial
Modbus Gateway allows for seemingly unlimited wireless
expansion to a traditional wired network.
A system incorporating a Sense IoT SMG would consists
of the following:
• Modbus Master – PLC, SCADA, etc.
• Existing RS-232C or RS-485 Infrastructure
• Serial Modbus Gateway (SMG)
• Wireless Sensors
