WIRELESS MODBUS OVER MIRAOS
With LumenRadio’s technology it is possible to create a wireless Modbus RTU network that maintains the standardization of the protocol. By converting the Modbus signals into MiraMesh we can send the Modbus RTU 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 RTU 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 RTU 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 RTU 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 RTU 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
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.
Our experienced team will work together with you to make sure your project becomes a success. We will help you:
- Define the problem and scope the solution
- Decide features and functionality to be included in the PoC
- Supply any needed third-party hardware
- Create documentation for how the PoC will be delivered and operated
- Set a proposal for how to move forward after a successful PoC
