Accuenergy – AcuMesh – Wireless Modbus-RTU Transceiver

SKU: AcuMesh-L-900

The AcuMesh wireless RS485 solution is designed to deliver wireless communications to energy meters or other devices that use Modbus-RTU over RS845. AcuMesh eliminates the need for the installation of traditional, hard-wired communication lines, saving money, time, and labour while also reducing the challenges of retrofit installations.

Create a Wireless Mesh Network using existing Modbus-RTU devices. Designed for Modbus-RTU devices with an RS485 port, multiple AcuMesh wireless Modbus-RTU transceivers form a point-to-multipoint wireless mesh network that monitors energy flow, industrial processes, HVAC, security systems, or other services across commercial and industrial facilities where physical wire installation is impractical. Used in new or retrofit applications, AcuMesh can reduce high installation cost.
