BridgeX
BridgeX: LoRaWAN to Modbus TCP converter for PLC and SCADA
A compact DIN-rail unit that brings wireless LoRaWAN sensor data into your PLC and SCADA system over Modbus TCP, with an integrated LoRaWAN server and application server.
What BridgeX does
Wireless sensors in, Modbus out.
LoRaWAN to Modbus TCP
BridgeX converts LoRaWAN sensor data into Modbus TCP, which PLC and SCADA systems already use for reliable communication.
Servers in one box
The LoRaWAN server, the application server and the Modbus server are built into one compact DIN-rail unit.
Simple to set up
An intuitive interface makes configuration easy, even without deep technical expertise, which cuts deployment time.
How it works
From wireless sensor to PLC register.
Connect gateways
Point your LoRaWAN gateways at BridgeX over a private IP network, using packet forwarder mode.
Add sensors
Pick the sensor from the decoder library and enter its keys.
Map to Modbus
The decoded values are made available as Modbus registers.
Read in the PLC
Your PLC or SCADA system reads the values for real-time monitoring, analysis and control.
Key features and benefits
Built to make wireless data usable in industrial automation.
Decoder library
Over 350 ready-made decoders from leading LoRaWAN manufacturers, so you can connect your preferred sensors without custom programming.
Packet forwarder mode
Connect LoRaWAN gateways to a private IP network, and sensor data reaches BridgeX and is converted to Modbus TCP right away.
Compact DIN-rail design
One unit saves space in the control cabinet and keeps maintenance simple.
Fewer points of failure
Fewer separate devices means fewer things that can go wrong.
Lower cost
Skip complex middleware and custom development, and keep both start-up and maintenance costs down.
Documentation and support
Specifications, installation guides and manuals are available in the BridgeX documentation.

Frequently asked questions
What is BridgeX?
BridgeX is a compact DIN-rail unit that converts LoRaWAN sensor data to Modbus TCP, so PLC and SCADA systems can read wireless sensors.
Do I need a separate LoRaWAN server?
No. BridgeX has an integrated LoRaWAN server and application server, so you only need LoRaWAN gateways and your sensors.
Which sensors can I connect?
Sensors covered by the decoder library of more than 350 ready-made decoders. If yours is missing, contact us and we will help.
How do the gateways connect to BridgeX?
Over a private IP network using packet forwarder mode, which sends the sensor data straight to BridgeX.
Where do I find documentation, pricing and dealer information?
