Modbus is a serial communication protocol which was published by now what is Schneider Electric way back in 1979. The main purpose of Modbus is that it can be used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It is very simple to used and robust and has become a standard communication protocol. This is commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic equipment. There are many advantages using this; one of the reasons being that it was developed with the industrial applications in mind. Besides which it is royalty free as well. This is one protocol that is easy to deploy and maintain as well. It has the ability to move raw bits or words without placing many restrictions on the vendors.
It is possible to communicate between many different devices connected to the same network via Modbus. In the case where the temperature and humidity is being monitored by sensors it is possible to communicate the results to a computer. In addition to which Modbus can also be used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in data acquisition system. It is also possible to communicate the results via GPRS.
The GPRS modbus / EDGE communication medium is found widely used in industrial applications. For example it can be applied in systems like energy networks, running water networks, managing traffic, weather and construction of LAN VPN networks.
Advanticsys is a company that has a background in information and communication technologies especially in the field of wireless sensor networks and industrial remote monitoring system. Since it was established in 2009 Advanticsys has been contributing to the ICT market expansion across technological innovation development by applying new concepts and ideas. Thus Advanticsys is able to offer a customized solution based on what is available and feasible in the field of remote monitoring systems. For example Advanticsys offer the product MPC-333 which features the Modbus TCP Ethernet, Modbus Ethernet data-logger, GSM/GPRS LAN with digital inputs. The main features includes a data-logger controller developed to communicate with many common protocols like M-Bus, Modbus TCP Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, etc. The MPC-333 can also measure and store different kinds of discrete signals.
