Wireless Modbus

W-Modbus by LumenRadio

WIRELESS MODBUS OVER MIRAOS

With LumenRadio’s technology it is possible to create a wireless Modbus network that maintains the standardization of the protocol. By converting the Modbus signals into MiraMesh we can send the Modbus signal wirelessly with low latency. We call this W-Modbus.

Replacing wires with wireless communication brings significant benefits without changing the existing ecosystem. Legacy wired devices such as sensors, can be converted into wireless devices, providing increased flexibility and cost savings, both during installation and steady-state operation.

W-MODBUS FEATURES

To be able to offer a wireless technology that OEM’s can integrate without any major changes to their existing products, LumenRadio has developed W-Modbus; Wireless Modbus over MiraOS. This enables short time-to-market when you want to develop your next wireless product and at the same time still want to be compliant with the Modbus protocol.

The only thing needed is to send the Modbus RTU signal (RS485) over to a radio module running the LumenRadio W-Modbus application. Then the application itself will take care of the rest, sending the standard Modbus signal over the wireless mesh network to the right address with low latency.

The overlaying system itself will never notice, and does not have to care, whether the signal was sent over a wire or over the wireless network.

Out-of-the-box installation – the units themselves will recognize which Modbus address they are connected to
Instant commissioning – only set the channel and the units will know what network they are connected to and where to send their messages
Mesh network – cover an entire building, utilizing the mesh network as your infrastructure
Cognitive Coexistence – LumenRadio’s patented technology provides industrial-grade wireless technology and immunity to interference
Self-optimizing network – the mesh network will always find the best way to send messages through the network between devices
Concurrent Bluetooth – On request a customer specific Bluetooth application can run concurrent with the W-Modbus application

The W-Modbus units will act as a bridge between the Automation Level and the Modbus devices. Having wireless products will enable faster and smoother installation and with the W-Modbus from LumenRadio you do not have to make changes to your existing products.

PROOF OF CONCEPT

The W-Modbus solution can be made available both as a software application (to be run on your own RF hardware design) or as a pre-programmed hardware module. To prove the value of the solution, LumenRadio can help your company make a Proof of Concept – connecting your product.
