MODBUS monitoring and management plugin

The plugin allows Verax NMS to monitor industrial devices (e.g. data center's HVAC infrastructure), through industry standard MODBUS protocol.

Communications

• Full functionality of a MODBUS master device (connected devices are treated as slaves).
• Support for RTU and ASCII protocols.
• Support for serial and IP communications.
• Configuration of serial port parameters for MODBUS device: port name, baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity (odd, even, none).

Functions, registers and arithmetics

• Full support for MODBUS functions: read coils, read discrete inputs, read holding registers and read input register.
• GUI enabling invoking of real-time MODBUS calls (reads registers and parses results) and online register browsing.
• Configurable register value types (unsigned, signed, length, etc.) and multipliers (x100, x0.1).
• Configurable formatting of MODBUS returned values (BOOLEAN8, INT16, UNIT16, LONG32, ULONG32 and FLOAT32).

Sensors, counters and alarms

MODBUS plugin is fully integrated with Verax NMS core and enables:

• Sensors and counters based on results of MODBUS functions calls.
• Ability to generate alarms (fixed and baseline calculated) on sensor supplied values.
