Built for the field

When Modbus Doesn't Work, Find Out Why.

A silent device or an implausible value can have many causes. Test the likely failure points directly beside the equipment.

  1. 01

    The device is not responding.

  2. 02

    The values look wrong.

  3. 03

    You don't know the Slave ID.

  4. 04

    Wiring, serial settings, addressing, and data format are all suspects.

No laptop. No complicated setup. Connect, inspect the evidence, and narrow the problem down.

AI-assisted diagnosis

Don't Just See the Error.Understand What to Check Next.

The assistant analyzes a diagnostic snapshot — communication settings, TX/RX history, errors, and decoded values — then proposes practical field checks.

Less guessing. Faster troubleshooting.

AI Diagnosis is an experimental troubleshooting assistant. Verify results with qualified personnel and the device documentation.

Diagnostic snapshot
  • Serial settings
  • TX/RX history
  • Errors & timeouts
  • Decoded values
Likely causes to investigate
  • Wrong Slave ID or function code
  • Baud rate or parity mismatch
  • RS485 A/B, GND, or termination problem
  • CRC mismatch or electrical noise
  • Register offset, endianness, or data type mismatch

How it works

Start Testing in 3 Steps.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Connect a USB-RS485 converter to your Android phone or tablet using USB OTG.

    Android → USB OTG → USB-RS485 → RS485 Device
  2. 02

    Configure

    Set baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, and Slave ID. Enter a register or select a saved template.

    Serial settings + address + register
  3. 03

    Diagnose

    Read the device, inspect responses, monitor traffic, decode values, or run AI-assisted diagnosis.

Use cases

Made for Engineers Who Work With Equipment.

01

Solar O&M

Test inverters, meters, weather stations, and protection relays at the solar site.

02

Industrial Automation

Verify PLCs, sensors, controllers, gateways, and industrial equipment.

03

Equipment Commissioning

Confirm serial settings and register responses before handover.

04

Field Maintenance

Separate network, configuration, protocol, and device-level failures.

05

Protocol Development

Validate register maps and Modbus implementations during integration.

06

Troubleshooting

Use raw communication evidence instead of guessing what happened on the bus.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

Does the app require a laptop?

No. Common RS485 and Modbus RTU tests run directly from a compatible Android phone or tablet.

What hardware do I need?

Normally: Android device → USB OTG → USB-RS485 converter → RS485 device.

Can I scan for an unknown Slave ID?

Yes. Quick Scan can search a Slave ID range and identify responding devices.

Can I see the raw Modbus communication?

Yes. The bus monitor shows TX/RX frames, communication history, errors, and response information.

Can the app write registers?

Yes. Pro supports common Modbus write operations with read-back verification. Confirm the register map and equipment safety requirements before writing.

What if the value I read looks wrong?

Compare UInt16, Int16, HEX, Binary, 32-bit, and Float32 interpretations. Register offset, data type, byte order, and word order are common causes.

What does AI Diagnosis do?

It uses available communication settings, TX/RX history, errors, and decoded values to suggest likely causes and practical next checks. It does not replace device documentation or professional judgment.

Is this only for solar equipment?

No. It works with compatible Modbus RTU / RS485 equipment across energy, automation, building control, instrumentation, PLC, meter, sensor, and controller applications.
