Obvius MODHOPPER Offers

The Modhopper wireless Modbus/pulse transceiver from Obvius provides a self optimizing wireless interface between multiple Modbus devices and networks, perfect for:

Submetering commercial and industrial facilities
Adding Modbus devices to any network without the need for costly communications wiring
Modhopper is a breakthrough mesh technology design that makes wireless connectivity simple and cost effective:
Connect up to 128 RS 485 Modbus RTU devices to any Modbus RTU network
Use Plug and play connectivity for supported devices to the Obvius AcquiSuite data acquisition server
Unique mesh technology means optimized routing of communications with NO PC OR SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION!
Accepts standard pulse inputs or Modbus
Pass through device for any Modbus RTU network

Modhopper is the perfect solution for connecting new or existing Modbus and pulse devices (meters, sensors, etc.) without the need for costly wiring runs, core drilling or conduit. Simply connect the Modbus RTU devices to the serial port on the Modhopper and the transceivers will automatically detect the optimum routing to insure reliable and timely data communications. Data from each Modhopper wireless transceiver is passed from one transceiver to another to reach its ultimate destination. This self-managed mesh network means that the system will function with high reliability where other wireless systems fail due to short- or long-term interference with radio signals.

Applications

Tenant submetering
Cost allocation
Adding Modbus devices to existing networks
Gathering energy information from remote buildings
Monitoring performance of building systems (e.g., chillers, boilers, fans)

Easy installation saves time and money

Self-optimizing hopping technology makes installation easy and cost effective
Intelligent Modhopper transceivers eliminate the need for costly PCs and software
Customized design for Modbus RTU device interface provides optimized performance with minimal overhead
Pulse inputs allow connection to existing meters for electricity, gas, water, steam or BTUs
Wireless communications up to 300 ft per hop allows monitoring of remote transformers and meters without expensive trenching
Rugged wall mount design makes installation a snap and assures high system reliability

Mesh network design makes adding devices simple and inexpensive

Intelligent Modhopper nodes continuously monitor wireless traffic to optimize routing
Modhopper nodes and devices can be added at any time and are automatically adding to the routing
Scalable design means that projects can be completed in stages as resources become available

AcquiSuite, Modhopper and Buildingmanageronline.com (BMO) provide a complete system solution

The AcquiSuite data acquisition server from Obvius provides plug and play connectivity to meters from most meter manufacturers
Meters or sensors added to the Modhopper network (or hard wired to the AcquiSuite) are immediately recognized and interval data is stored in the AcquiSuite
Industry standard protocols provide flexible communications using either existing LANs or phone lines to BMO or other software
BMO provides convenient access to stored data using any Web browser from anywhere in the world
Modhopper provides the flexibility to connect to existing sensors using the A8923 Modbus I/O module
Standard Modbus RTU protocol design makes connection to any existing Modbus network simple and cost effective
