Industrial Wireless RS485 ModBus RTU Modem User Guide ModBus protocol is one of the most robust and widely used industrial communication protocols. Most all industrial computer, PLC, and SCADA systems supports this protocol. These systems are responsible for controlling and making decisions on a factory floor. Using the ncd.io Industrial Wireless RS485 ModBus RTU Modem, the factory floor systems like PLC and SCADA can read sensor data and make quick intelligent decisions.    How It Works This Wireless ModBus RTU Modem is an extremely simple device. When a sensor transmits data, this modem captures the data and stores it in

NCD Modems VS. Gateways A sensor collects the data but leaves the decision of where to transmit the data up to the user. Therefore, thanks to the constant innovation of IoT, the user has numerous ways to collect, store, and analyze the data they receive from their sensor. This guide will discuss the difference between a modem and a gateway, as well as suggest several options for both categories that we offer here at NCD.

WiFi Sensor User Guide for use with MQTT Introduction MQTT allows the complete line of NCD WiFi sensors to communicate via the internet to any MQTT Broker service using a WiFi connection.  It only requires network connection credentials, connection information about the MQTT Host Broker, and authentication information for the MQTT connection if applicable. The WiFi Sensor for MQTT supports connection to MQTT Brokers via open connection, basic authentication, as well as TLS.  Topics and message payload formats are fully customizable for compatibility with each MQTT Broker service.  WiFi communication is also fully encrypted for the security of each device.

Add a new sensor In NCD node-red lib Recently I started to learn a bit about node-red. Its a graphical based drag-and-drop kind of software platform. Which makes it ideal for users like me who work mostly in hardware and have very little knowledge of the core software. In this guide we will learn how we can add a new sensor in existing ncd node-red lib.  ncd is adding new wireless sensors in their IoT enterprise portfolio and it’s possible that a lot of sensors are not supported in node-red yet. Adding a new sensor in node-red is super easy.
