Configuration d’un capteur

The following steps describe how to configure the Multitech as a LoRa to Modbus TCP gateway.

Start by connecting to the web interface of your Multitech.

Provisioning

Go to the “Provisioning” section.

  • Enter a name for your sensor
  • Select its type
  • Enter its three LoRaWAN keys (DevEUI, AppEUI, and AppKey)

Enabling Modbus

Your sensor now appears in the “My sensors” section.

  • Click the arrow on the left of the sensor to expand it
  • Click the gear icon to access its settings

  • Check the “Modbus TCP” box
  • Click the “CONFIRM” button to enable Modbus for this sensor

Data Configuration

The next steps describe how to add the sensor data to the Multitech Modbus table.

  • First, the Multitech must receive a transmission containing the sensor data. The received data will appear in the sensors section.
  • Then click the gear icon to access the sensor configuration

  • Click the gear icon again to access the sensor Modbus configuration

The received data is listed on this page.

  • Select in the “Enable” column the data to add to the Modbus table

For each data point, it is possible to configure its format in the Modbus table, a scaling multiplication factor, its address in the table, and its endianness.
The “AUTO FILL” button automatically assigns Modbus addresses to the data.

  • Configure your data
  • Click the “CONFIRM” button

The next data received by the Multitech will now be written and available in the Modbus table.
