Modbus

Modbus is a widely used communication protocol for connecting industrial and building equipment, such as meters and sensors, to monitoring systems.

Definition

Modbus is an older but still widely used communication protocol common in industrial and building automation equipment, allowing meters, sensors, and controllers to exchange data with monitoring or control systems.

Why It Matters

Modbus remains common in existing building infrastructure, making support for it important for integrating with legacy meters and equipment rather than requiring hardware replacement.

How ecolyptus Helps

ecolyptus can integrate with Modbus-compatible meters and sensors via appropriate gateway hardware.
