Why RS485 Modbus RTU Matters

•  Remote Monitoring & Control
  Connect your dosing pump directly to a PLC or SCADA system for centralized management. Adjust flow rates, monitor performance, and trigger alarms—all without touching the pump.

•  Real-Time Data Exchange
  RS485 enables fast, bidirectional communication. Receive live feedback on stroke rate, dosing volume, and system status to optimize chemical usage and reduce downtime.

•  Multi-Device Networking
  RS485 supports multi-drop architecture, allowing multiple pumps to communicate over a single twisted-pair cable. Ideal for complex dosing setups with multiple injection points.

•  Noise-Resistant & Long-Distance
  RS485 is engineered for industrial environments. It resists electrical noise and supports cable runs up to 1,200 meters—perfect for large plants or remote installations.

•  Flexible Configuration
  The TPG Modbus Series offers configurable communication parameters:
  
  • Baud rate: 19200
  • Data bits: 8
  • Stop bit: 1
  • Parity: Even
  • Max PDU size: 253 bytes

•  Reliable Data Integrity
  Each device manages its own RS485 transceiver, ensuring clean data exchange without collisions or errors—critical for dosing accuracy and system safety.

 Ideal for:

• Water treatment plants with centralized control rooms
• Chemical dosing in automated manufacturing lines
• Agricultural fertigation systems with remote telemetry
• Any facility using PLCs, HMIs, or SCADA platforms
