Modbus RTU to Emoncms Influxdb Thingspeak

Modbus to Emoncms. The ModWRT is a Modbus RTU unit to interface with one or several RS485 RTU devices. The ModWRT sends a predefined set of registers value to a server for data logging and display.
The end server can be either of type Emoncms, Influxdb or Thingspeak.

All communication and dataflow parameters are configured using a web interface.

The web interface is briefly described below. See more details in the user manual.

1. RTU definition

All Modbus RTU devices can be configured on one single page using Slave ID and communication parameters (baud rate etc).


2. Stream to Emoncms, Influxdb, Thingspeak definition

Internet of Thing (iot) servers can be configured on this page.


3. Dataflow Configuration

This page will configure all dataflow combination.

A single dataflow can query different RTU unit to send combined data onto a single export.
