LoRaWAN and PLC integration in 2026 In 2026, wireless LoRaWAN sensors and hardwired PLC systems coexist in most industrial facilities. Connecting them no longer requires custom middleware or IT projects. Sensor-Online BridgeX makes the integration a configuration task, not a development task. Why connect LoRaWAN to PLC? Add wireless monitoring points without cabling cost Bring…
LoRaWAN to PLC – closing the gap LoRaWAN sensors are wireless, low-cost and easy to deploy. PLCs run your critical processes and speak Modbus. BridgeX in Sensor-Online bridges the two without requiring new PLC programs or IT firewall changes. Step-by-step connection Deploy LoRaWAN sensors – commission sensors in Sensor-Online using OTAA with DevEUI and AppKey…
Instant sensor data from any smartphone Sensor-Online dynamic QR codes turn any smartphone into a live sensor dashboard. A field technician scans the QR code on a pump station, sensor enclosure or distribution cabinet and immediately sees real-time data, alarm status and trend graphs – without installing an app or logging in. How it works…
Wireless sensor data directly in your PLC BridgeX is the Sensor-Online module that exposes LoRaWAN sensor values as Modbus TCP registers. Your PLC reads them exactly like any other Modbus device – no new programming language, no IT involvement, no open firewall ports into the OT network. How BridgeX works LoRaWAN sensors transmit wirelessly to…

Why you should connect your Modbus Devices to Sensor-Online Platform In today’s interconnected world, linking many devices to the digital realm is invaluable. Modbus technology, a mainstay in industrial automation and smart home technology, is pivotal in this connectivity. This tutorial will explore connecting a Modbus device to the Sensor-Online platform. Sensor-Online, a cloud-based IoT…
Stop managing data silos Most organisations end up with multiple IoT tools: one for LoRaWAN sensors, one for Modbus energy meters, one for MQTT data feeds. Data is siloed, alarms are duplicated, and no one has a complete picture. Sensor-Online replaces all of them with a single platform that speaks every protocol. Protocols supported LoRaWAN…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0, efficient, scalable, and versatile connectivity solutions are paramount. Sensor-Online’s IoT Edge Gateway emerges as a game-changer, offering unparalleled flexibility and ease of deployment for connecting a wide range of industrial protocols to cloud and IT systems. This article explores the…
Sustainability starts with measurement You cannot reduce what you cannot measure. Sensor-Online gives property managers and facility teams the real-time energy and environmental data they need to make buildings genuinely greener – not just on paper, but in actual consumption, carbon footprint and occupant comfort. How IoT enables sustainable buildings Sub-metering – measure energy per…
NIS Directive for the Water and Sewage Industry? The NIS2 Directive focuses on information and IT security issues within the infrastructure of water and sewage networks. Many municipalities use diverse technological solutions to ensure effective communication between stations. These solutions range from fiber optics and copper networks to city networks, radio links, radio modems, and…
