ZMB Wireless Modbus Bridge

Bridge Modbus RTU devices to your wireless IoT network. Connect third-party meters and sensors without running data cables.

Protocol Bridge

Modbus RTU to ZigBee

The ZMB acts as a transparent bridge between Modbus RTU devices and the EpiSensor ZigBee mesh network. Connect any Modbus-compatible meter, sensor, or controller to your wireless IoT infrastructure without proprietary converters or custom development.

RS-485 Interface

Industry-Standard RS-485 Connection

The ZMB features an RS-485 serial interface supporting standard Modbus RTU communication. Connect to a wide range of third-party energy meters, power analysers, environmental sensors, and industrial controllers using the most widely adopted serial protocol in building and industrial automation.

Flexible Configuration

Read Any Modbus Register

Configure the ZMB to read specific Modbus registers from connected devices, mapping data points to your IoT platform. Support for multiple Modbus devices on a single RS-485 bus means one ZMB can serve an entire panel of meters.
