Industrial automation solutions provider Altech Corp. has released its DO-1 universal monitor for Modbus devices. This solution enables enterprises of all sizes to easily monitor, collect and analyze their equipment and process data without any subscription fees or licenses.
Compact yet powerful, the DO-1 connects to up to 128 Modbus RTU/TCP devices. It supports integration with both new and legacy Modbus networks, taking advantage of the protocol’s widespread use across industries to enable fast, efficient data monitoring without incurring the high costs associated with more complex industrial internet of things (IIoT) systems. By removing the traditional barriers to entry, this solution opens the door to valuable operational insights that were previously inaccessible, particularly for small- and medium-sized companies.
