The Vega LoRa MultiCap software is designed to integrate LoRaWAN network devices into external data collection and management systems. It connects to the IOT Vega Server and provides two main operating modes for transparent communication with end devices (meters, sensors):
Mode "TCP" (transparent radio channel)
The program opens TCP ports for listening, each corresponding to a specific radio modem (СИ-13/23, SH-2, etc.). All data received via a TCP port from an external application (e.g., AMR system) is transmitted to the meter connected to the modem via the RS-485/RS-232 interface, using the LoRaWAN network as a transparent communication channel. The meter's response is sent back to the external application through the same TCP port.
Mode "ModBus" (conversion to ModBus TCP)
The program converts data received from specified end devices (sensors, meters) into a virtual register map of the ModBus protocol. Thus, any external SCADA system or software supporting the standard ModBus TCP protocol can easily connect to LoRa MultiCap and read current data from the devices.
