The Modbus Adapter is a device that is external to the Mainstream and works by connecting to the Mainstream communications port, allowing the customer to read measurement data using the Modbus RTU protocol. The Adapter can operate using Modbus RTU over RS232 or RS485 (half and full duplex), it can accept external power supplies and is currently available for use with fixed units. Many popular products such as telemetry units and dataloggers incorporate Modbus communications. Many of these devices are already embedded throughout the water industry infrastructure, the Modbus Adapter bridges the gap between the Mainstream and these devices. The Mainstream [...]

Mainstream Measurements Ltd has formed a £120,000 Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with the University of Huddersfield to develop software and communication mechanisms that will allow the meters to be read remotely, as well as integrate into standardised industrial control systems, such as MODBUS. The breakthrough will be a massive advantage for companies involved in applications such as effluent monitoring, water distribution, industrial flow and water distribution, who need to monitor flow in order to deal with issues such as blockages and flood risks. The challenge of the KTP is that there is no dominating data communication protocol in the Internet of [...]
