LoRaWAN Data in Your PLC – Without IT Involvement
Bridge X is Sensor-Online’s gateway between the wireless IoT world and industrial automation systems. It presents LoRaWAN sensor values as Modbus TCP registers that any PLC or SCADA system can poll – exactly like reading from a conventional wired field device. No firewall changes, no custom integration, no cloud dependency.
How Bridge X Works
- LoRaWAN sensors transmit wirelessly to the Sensor-Online network server
- Sensor-Online processes and stores incoming data
- Bridge X exposes selected sensor values as Modbus TCP holding registers on a configurable IP address and port
- PLC polls the registers on its normal scan cycle – transparent to the automation programmer
Key Advantages
- No PLC program changes required
- 400+ sensor types available via Sensor-Online’s device type library
- Bidirectional – PLC writes trigger LoRaWAN downlinks to Class C devices
- Configured entirely from Sensor-Online’s web interface, no coding
