Publishing Modbus data to your UNS with FlowFuse
As industries evolve towards Industry 4.0, integrating legacy systems like Modbus with modern cloud technologies becomes essential. While effective for local machine-to-machine communication, Modbus doesn't naturally connect with cloud platforms.
This article shows you how to bridge Modbus data to MQTT using FlowFuse and Node-RED. By publishing this data into a Unified Namespace (UNS), you can seamlessly integrate legacy systems with cloud services for real-time monitoring and analysis, unlocking the full potential of your industrial data.
