A Protocol Converter is a device used to convert standard or proprietary protocol of one device to the protocol suitable for the other device or tools to achieve the interoperability. Protocol converters are used in many industries including manufacturing, building management, Oil and gas, utilities and many others to get information out of a piece of equipment and have it “speak” the language of another piece of equipment.

This allows information like counts, temps, pressures, set-points of gauges and meters to be shared between machines on a common platform or network. IoT International understands the way these devices communicate and has the tools to help organizations navigate these tricky conversions to help your business processes work seamlessly. Our Real-time Internet of Things Engine software provides a software based protocol converter. The rIoT Engine has many built in protocols and because our engine software platform tool allows both ingress and egress of data, the data can come in one protocol and be sent out a different one (MODBUS IP in for example and be sent out DNP3). These type of software tools provide process engineers and other industrial professionals the data paths they need to get the information into the systems that need them to help run day to day operations effectively. IoT International has experts ready to help your convert your data when needed.
