MetronM Modbus IIoT Gateway

MetronM is PowTechnology's multi-purpose IIoT gateway delivering rich, reliable, digital data via RS485 Modbus RTU from PLCs, meters, HMIs, smart sensors, drives and machines.

It acts as a master, using RS485 Modbus RTU to collect data from a broad range of slaves,
including PLCs, meters, HMIs, smart sensors, drives and machines.

This rich, reliable, digital data is collected and transmitted via mobile phone networks to PowTechnology’s versatile MetronView platform, creating alerts and actionable insights to improve productivity, sustainability, compliance, safety and other key performance areas.

Data can be collected via a simple API for further processing in enterprise ERP and application-specific software for production, maintenance, purchasing and logistics planning.
