Obvius R9120 (3/3T/5/5T) Modhopper Wireless Modbus Communications Device
The Obvius Modhopper a wireless Modbus/pulse transceiver which provides a self optimizing wireless interface between multiple Modbus devices and networks, perfect for:
Modhopper is the perfect solution for connecting new or existing Modbus and pulse devices (meters, sensors, etc.) without the need for costly wiring runs, core drilling or conduit. Simply connect the Modbus devices to the serial port on the Modhopper and the transceivers will automatically detect the optimum routing to insure reliable and timely data communications. Data from each Modhopper wireless transceiver is passed from one transceiver to another to reach its ultimate destination. This self-managed mesh network means that the system will function with high reliability where other wireless systems fail due to short- or long-term interference with radio signals.
Models:
R9120-3 ModHopper Wireless Modbus/Pulse Transceiver
R9120-5 ModHopper Wireless Modbus/Pulse Transceiver
- Submetering commercial and industrial facilities,
