Modbus to the Cloud in Record Time

Modbus Device to the Cloud in Record Time from Any Controller!

Every day seems to bring a new request to connect a Modbus device to our SmartHub™ in order to give clients that rich functionality, to monitor, manage and inform. All done remotely, in real-time, and online. So how do we get Modbus Controllers talking to the CDL SmartHub™ so quickly, securely, and seamlessly?

The Intelligence is in the SmartHub

Once the NanoULTRA-III - is connected to your target device (RS232 or RS485) and powered up, all of the configuration work is then done via the SmartHub, there is no need to connect to the device directly with a PC to configure Modbus communications. This can all be achieved, securely via any browser/Smart Device.

The Nano Ultra has on board intelligence too!

With local intelligence for real-time monitoring against user-configured thresholds on all parameters, an onboard SD card for local recording of highly granular data [@1hz on all parameters], FOTA [firmware over the air] to both the modem and microcontroller, BLE communication options for device management via local smart devices, GPS options, and the lowest power consumption of any comparable device in case you need to run on battery packs, the NanoULTRA-III is the solution of choice.

Modbus Configuration Options

Exploiting Modbus with the CDL SMartHub

Modbus Configuration Options

Quickly add new controllers with a list of Modbus registers
Set baud rates, stop bits etc.
Save Controllers which can be recalled at any point in the future with new NanoULTRA-III systems
Configure registers for both read and write functions
Add up to four different slave devices to any one NanoULTRA-III e.g. Power meter, flow meter, environmental sensor all communicating to one NanoULTRA-III
Configure what Users (as opposed to administrators) can view
Select which registers you wish to monitor at high frequency
Apply bit masks to data strings and associate to alarm messages

Modbus slave configuration

Exploiting Modbus with the CDL SMartHub

Many of our clients have a wide range of field based machinery/instrumentation with an even wider range of data sets available to them. It is incredibly valuable information that needs to be accessed in the optimum amount of time with the minimum amount of configuration. Once the controllers/recipes are set up they can be repeated time and time again with no need to repeat engineering effort which avoids any associated risks in terms of human error.

Of course Caption Data can provide a service to configure and test your target Modbus devices but this feature set is open/available and easy to use.

What can you do with all of this Modbus information on the SmartHub?

Plot and share data in a number of different and standard formats (jpg, pdf, gif, csv, xlsx etc.)
You can set up departments and teams who would only see their own units, while your company administrator will see the whole picture
Configure event based alarms which can be sent to multiple recipients via email and/or sms – complete with full audit trail
Your SmartHub can be branded with your company logo/style so you can give your customers access too if you want!
Configure the SmartHub to operate in different languages and time zones
Visualise your remote systems on interactive maps

The NanoUltra - III

Robust, small form factor, GSM remote telemetry unit with a host of unique features. PDF Data sheet
Modbus comms plus many others (RS232 or RS485)
Instrumentation grade, multi gain analogue inputs
Digital I/O
Integrated SD card for greater granularity of data, and any off grid time *Certain conditions apply
Full FOTA [Firmware over the air]
48 hour emergency battery back up [optional] in case of power outages
Probably the worlds lowest RTU power consumption for use on batteries in field situations – power packs available separately
