Modbus RTU through reliable wireless mesh
W-Modbus replaces the Modbus RTU cable with a reliable wireless mesh – it eliminates time-consuming installation planning, cabling, daisy-chaining and trouble-shooting. Plug-n-Play: No programming required. Enable energy savings and meet sustainability targets with wireless control.
The W-Modbus product acts as a proxy for a connected Modbus MS/TP device, effectively extending the bus and creating the possibility to make wired products wireless. A W-Modbus network consists of a single W-Modbus gateway with up to 100 W-Modbus Nodes.

Patented technologies
The W-Modbus product is built upon LumenRadio’s patented meshing technology MiraMesh - providing ultra-reliable device-to-device connectivity, easy installation, concurrent Bluetooth and extended range.
With LumenRadio’s W-Modbus solution it is possible to create a wireless Modbus RTU system that maintains the Modbus RTU standard, while still keeping a low latency.

System Overview

A W-Modbus network consists of a single W-Modbus Gateway connected to the Modbus Client using a Modbus RTU cable and up to 100 W-Modbus Nodes, each of them connected to one Modbus Server over a Modbus RTU cable.

 

FAQ

The device is an “end device with internal terminal resistors”. Can this termination be switch off?

No it can not. Typical usage of the product is that the product is end of line.

Can I install multiple Modbus RTU Clients (masters) at the same place?

Yes, as long as you install one network at a time each network gets their own network key.

Can I connect several Modbus RTU Servers (slaves) behind one W-Modbus unit?

This is possible on the W-Modbus Wall mount PRO unit.

How many Modbus RTU Servers (slaves) can I have in one network?

It is possible to have 100 Servers (slaves) connected to one Client (master).

How do I give the W-Modbus Node its Modbus ID?

The W-Modbus unit do not need any Modbus ID. It will proxy it's Modbus server (slave) ID. The third LED (bottom on Wall mount and right on DIN rail) will flash green every five seconds if the W-Modbus node fins an modbus id on the bus with a correct baud rate. It will flash red otherwise.

Does W-Modbus transfer Modbus signals wirelessly?

The W-Modbus units transfer Modbus RTU signals and not Modbus TCP.

Is the communication in the network encrypted?

Yes, all communication in the W-Modbus Network is encrypted with AES128.
