Modbus to SD

Hello, [off topic] This will be my first "real" topic in this new brand forum. I hope it will be so good as the old forum [/off topic]

I finished a little project to make a Datalogger with a V130. Someone could ask: anything else?

Well, it's an easy application for Unitronics but we realized that it's hard to find in the market a datalogger so open and cheap.

The project is simple:

1.- To read datas from a Modbus Slave

2.- Prepare the datas

3.- Save the datas in the microSD of the V130 (In spanish you have to do some changes for the standard way to create a CSV)

Easy? now go to find a Datalogger in the market with the powerful of the V130.

Maybe now you want ot connect te controller to Ethernet or GPRS and send e-mail with logged data as attgached files?

BTW - our customer in Denmark made windmills. He wanted to collect a lot fo data in SD card and at the end of the day to send e-mail with attachewd file. In addition, he wanted to operate the system via SMS and to receive basic data back as reply.

V130. Few hours "standard" programming...

There is other good:

One of the slave modbus is a energy meter and the manufacturer has a software to read its values. Now the V130 is a Gateway Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP too. This way the software can connect via internet (ADSL)with the remote energy meter. The application is a replication of the address RTU to TCP.

The future will be to it via GPRS. A question: is possible to connect with a V130 in "Modbus TCP GPRS"??

It is possible to connect to a GPRS modem via Ethernet with Phoenix Contact PSI-MODEM-GSM/ETH. See attached.

Thanks Malcolm but this is not my target. I have other projects with Ewon modem-router instead of a simple modem GPRS.

The question is if I can use the V130+modem gprs like a Modbus TCP/ip slave

Hello Nacho,

You can use the a GPRS modem for TCP/IP Slave comunication using a VPN tunnel. The model I suggested is a GPRS/GSM modem, router, firewall and has the ability for VPN tunnels. I do not know of the Ewon but if it supports VPN then it is posible to make a "Local Area Network" using the internet and the modem as gateway. I have a presentation but it is too large to post if you want it please let me know.

Dear friend, I have to do a datalogger very similar to yours. Could you share your development with me? It would save me time and I would really appreciate it.
