Introduction
The ModbusLink is a low power multihop mesh network to wirelessly connect modbus sensor(s) to a
Modbus Master. A ModbusLink network consists of one master (ModbusLink-M) connected to a Modbus
Master/logger/data recorder and at least one slave (ModbusLink-S). Each Slave unit can be connected to one
Modbus sensor via either a RS232 or RS485 port. If the ModbusLink-M is unable to reach a Modbus sensor
directly, it will try to discover a route to the destination via intermediate ModbusLink-S modules.
Features
•
300 meters LOS range ( longer ranges possible via intermediate nodes/mesh networking)
•
Very low power consumption.
•
All nodes are capable of routing messages, interfacing with Modbus sensor while staying in
low power mode
•
~5 years battery life (included)
•
Transparent drop-in Modbus wire replacement. (No special address requirements)
•
RSSI level indication to indicate Signal strength.
•
Multiple Networks can co-exist without interfering with each other.
•
Simple Network commands to configure & maintain network
