ModProBus ISM842 RF Gateway

The ModProBus ISM842 RF Gateway is an industrial RF-based IoT gateway designed to provide wireless communication between PLCs, HMI panels, and industrial devices operating with Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols in large-scale field deployments. Operating in the license-free ISM band, it enables stable and reliable 24/7 communication without the need for wired infrastructure.

The device collects data from field equipment via RS485 and Ethernet interfaces using Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP protocols, and securely transmits this data over the RF network with AES-256 encryption. Its built-in mesh network architecture allows multiple ISM842 devices distributed across the field to communicate within the same wireless network, extending coverage and improving overall network resilience.
