Student view

How to understand this product.

Understand the complete path from a factory register to a dashboard chart.

What you can learn

  • RS-485 wiring
  • Polling Modbus RTU registers
  • Data timestamping and buffering
  • Time-series monitoring

A simple project flow

  1. Poll a compatible PLC or meter.
  2. Validate, timestamp and store readings.
  3. Upload a batch when the network is available.

Real-world applications

Example projects showing what this product can read, control and report. Each requires the appropriate sensors, connected equipment and application software.

Factory energy monitoring

Example: poll voltage, current and energy registers from a compatible Modbus RTU meter over RS-485. The logger timestamps readings, stores them on microSD and uploads them over Wi-Fi for shift-by-shift consumption reports.

Production and downtime logging

Example: read run-state and production-count registers from a compatible PLC. Software records state changes and counter values so a dashboard can show output and stopped periods for each shift.

Process temperature history

Example: read temperature registers from an RS-485/Modbus process controller. Save timestamped measurements locally and upload the history so operators can review temperature changes during a production batch.
