The KiWi solution allows to transform the modbus RTU communication to a wireless modbus TCP/IP connection. In this way, the local WiFi network of the facility can be used to connect the different control-devices. In addition, since the KiWi device also has an RJ45 port, it can also be connected to the local Ethernet network via Ethernet cable through the RJ45 connector. Example of a conventional installation with Modbus RTU communication:

It should be noted that a kiWi can connect up to a certain maximum number of devices, which will depend on the number of variables available on the devices and the configuration speed of the bus.
