Connecting Modbus Devices to the Cloud
The IIOT Data Reader is your all-in-one IoT Cloud Platform that makes it easy and quick to connect, configure, and monitor Modbus devices.
What is Needed to Connect Modbus Devices to the Cloud?
Connecting Modbus devices to the cloud opens up a world of possibilities for real-time data monitoring, remote management, and improved operational efficiency. But how do you achieve this? Here’s a simple guide to the key components required to bridge the gap between Modbus protocols and cloud communication.
Connecting Modbus devices to the cloud requires a reliable internet connection and a gateway or intermediary device that can translate Modbus data into a cloud-compatible format.
To successfully connect your Modbus devices to the cloud, you'll need the following key components:
Modbus TCP devices
1. A Modbus-Compatible Devices
The first requirement is the Modbus device or machine that needs to be connected to the cloud. This could be a PLC, sensor, or industrial machine that communicates using the Modbus TCP protocol. These devices generate valuable operational data, which can be monitored and analyzed once connected to the cloud.
Modbus Gateway
2. A Modbus Gateway
A Modbus gateway acts as a bridge between your Modbus devices and the cloud.It efficiently translates Modbus data into a format suitable for cloud transmission.
The gateway will poll Modbus devices, collect their data, and securely transmit it to the cloud for remote monitoring and control.
A gateway can be any device that does the following:
Linux OS Computer:
Our engineers will install IIOT Data Reader software on a
Linux computer. This device will be connected to your
Modbus devices via Ethernet and will collect and process
data in real time. The processed data will then be
securely streamed to the IIOT Data Reader cloud platform.

Send Data to the Server Using HTTPS:
Your preferred gateway device will poll Modbus devices,
collect their data, and securely transmit it to the cloud
via HTTPS.
Send Data to the Server Using MQTTS:
Your preferred gateway device will poll Modbus devices,
collect their data, and securely transmit it to the cloud
via MQTTS.
IoT Cloud Platform
3. An IoT Cloud Platform
To fully leverage the power of your Modbus devices, you need an IoT Cloud Platform that supports Modbus integration. This platform serves as the backbone for collecting, storing, processing, and managing data in the cloud.
