- Make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly when using NB-IoT or LTE-CatM1.
- Connect the Modbus Gateway to your Modbus Slave Devices
- Via RS485 connector using a twisted pair cable:
AtoA,BtoB, andGNDtoGND(GNDis not strictly necessary but enhances the connection. Not all slave devices supply aGNDconnector). - Via ETH connector for Modbus TCP using a RJ45 LAN cable(externally powered variants only).
- Via RS485 connector using a twisted pair cable:
- Connect the Modbus Bridge to a computer using the Lobaro Configuration Adapter and the Lobaro Maintenance Tool.
- Connect power to the device - powering with the configuration adapter does not work.
- Make sure the configuration is correct to connect to the Internet (depends on you connection method: Mobile, LoRaWAN or LAN.
- Make sure the configuration is correct to read out your desired Modbus device (e.g. ASCII/RTU, Baud, Data Length, Stop Bits, Parity and Modbus Command).
- Optionally: Switch to the Log tab of the Lobaro Tool to see if the device is connecting and working as expected.
- Go to The Lobaro Platform and log into your account.
- Go to "Devices" and select your "Hybrid Modbus Gateway".
- If you have several Gateways: the "Address" is printed on the device's case as "DevEUI".
- You should see all Uplinks the Gateway collected sent far. Next step is to configure your individual Device Type to display you slaves data or forward data to your own IT.
