Connect any Modbus device to your LoRaWAN network – easy and fast commissioning, with the unique MLB gateway

 

 

Huge remote monitoring possibilities are opened up for building automation projects by turning Modbus-based field devices into IoT devices by connecting them to a long-range wireless LoRaWAN network. The Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) network protocol connects all kinds of devices to the Internet, on a public or private network. Our new and exclusive MLB Modbus LoRaWAN gateway is a flexible way to connect any Modbus RTU device from Produal, or third parties, to LoRaWAN.

With the MLB gateway, you can convert Modbus RTU messages to LoRaWAN wireless communications, and read and write registers, to transmit messages such as low weight loads over long distances. Commissioning is conveniently done with the Produal MyTool® mobile app, where you will find ready-to-use description files for the most common Produal Modbus devices. It is also easy to create definition files for any other Modbus device.

The MLB Modbus LoRaWAN gateway is available with an internal or external antenna. Configuration is quick and easy using Produal’s Mytool app for Android systems, which allows various ready-made device profiles and description files to be used in the configuration.

The MLB gateway acts as a Modbus master device and can read and write 32 freely configured Modbus registers via the Modbus RTU bus, allowing two-way communication. Based on the 868 MHz frequency band, the MLB gateway is suitable for European markets.
