ModProBus LRW842 LoRaWAN Controller

The ModProBus LRW842 LoRaWAN Controller is an industrial IoT control device designed to provide LoRaWAN-based wireless communication and control between PLCs, sensors, meters, and industrial equipment operating with Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols in wide-area field applications. With LoRaWAN Class C support, it delivers low-latency and continuously available communication, making it suitable not only for data acquisition but also for applications that require active field-level control.

The device collects data from field equipment via Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP protocols and securely transmits this data to central systems over LoRaWAN networks. Supporting both OTAA and ABP activation methods, it allows easy integration with different LoRaWAN network infrastructures. For scenarios where a LoRaWAN gateway is not available, the device also supports peer-to-peer LoRa communication, enabling flexible point-to-point or local wireless control applications.

Description

The ModProBus LRW842 is not merely a LoRaWAN end device; with its digital I/O and analog input structure, automatic data collection mechanisms, and advanced rule engine, it is positioned as an independent IoT controller capable of operating directly in the field. Its Change of Value (COV)-based data transmission logic ensures that only meaningful data changes are sent, reducing LoRaWAN network load and improving overall energy efficiency.

Thanks to its built-in rule engine, threshold monitoring, logical operations, and condition-based actions can be executed locally on the device without the need for a central PLC, SCADA system, or cloud platform. This enables I/O transfers, control scenarios, and automation functions to be implemented over LoRaWAN using a distributed and scalable architecture.

The ModProBus LRW842 LoRaWAN Controller is a powerful LoRaWAN-based automation solution that delivers long-range communication, low power consumption, and advanced control capabilities for industrial facilities, building automation, energy monitoring, infrastructure systems, and remote field applications.

Fast and Easy Installation

Designed for quick commissioning, the ModProBus LRW842 LoRaWAN Controller enables fast and effortless installation in the field. In case of temporary network interruptions, the device automatically reconnects, ensuring continuous and reliable system operation.

Easy Mounting and Setup

With DIN rail mounting support, the ModProBus LRW842 LoRaWAN Controller can be installed quickly and securely in control panels. Thanks to its web-based user interface and built-in Wi-Fi Access Point capability, the device can be easily configured without the need for additional equipment.

Automatic Data Collection

The ModProBus LRW842 LoRaWAN Controller automatically reads data from connected devices and ensures that up-to-date information is delivered to the system. Periodic data polling and configurable condition-based actions help reduce unnecessary data transmission and improve overall system efficiency.
