Need to connect LoRaWAN and Modbus? The Weble WBox routes LoRaWAN Modbus natively: one gateway speaks both protocols and maps data points in real time — no PC, no middleware, no cloud dependency.

The protocols

LoRaWAN

LoRaWAN carries data from battery-powered sensors over several kilometres with very low power.

LoRaWAN driver →

Modbus

Modbus (TCP/IP and RTU) connects PLCs, meters, variable-speed drives and countless industrial devices.

Example deployment

Typical scenario LoRaWAN sensors beside Modbus An industrial site already polls Modbus meters, drives and PLCs, and now adds LoRaWAN sensors for things wiring can't reach — tank levels, remote temperatures, leak detection. The WBox merges both into one address space, so wireless telemetry and wired Modbus data land in the same supervision and the same logs. Technical documentation →

How the WBox bridges LoRaWAN and Modbus

On the WBox you enable the LoRaWAN driver and the Modbus driver, then map each point: a value read on the LoRaWAN side — long-range, low-power wireless — is exposed on the Modbus side — the industrial register-based protocol — and vice-versa. Conversion, scaling and logic run on the gateway itself.

Capacity & limits

  • LoRaWAN — LoRaWAN scales with the network server; device count is bounded by gateway coverage and airtime, not by the WBox.
  • Modbus — Modbus addresses up to 247 slaves per line (RTU or TCP) — about 32 RTU devices per RS-485 segment before a repeater.

On the WBox, a driver licence enables the whole protocol — there is no artificial per-point tier to unlock. Capacity scales with the gateway model, from the compact S103 to the E413: you are bounded by the field bus, not by your licence.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect LoRaWAN and Modbus?

LoRaWAN is long-range, low-power wireless and Modbus is the industrial register-based protocol. A single WBox gateway runs the LoRaWAN and Modbus drivers, speaks both protocols at once and maps the data points between them — no PC, no middleware, no cloud dependency.

Is the LoRaWAN ⇄ Modbus bridge bidirectional?

Yes. The WBox reads and writes on both sides: a value or command on the LoRaWAN side propagates to Modbus, and vice-versa.

Do I need a PC, a PLC or proprietary hardware?

No. The LoRaWAN and Modbus drivers are licence-activated on one WBox — no gateway PC, no intermediate PLC and no proprietary hardware.

Which WBox model do I need?

Any WBox with the LoRaWAN and Modbus driver licences. The online configurator recommends the right model from your interfaces and point count.
