E Sentry ESC-MBH: Industrial Modbus Gateway for Remote Monitoring
The E Sentry Modbus Hub (ESC-MBH) is the system’s central gateway, securely aggregating real-time condition data from distributed E Sentry sensors and delivering it directly into SCADA/PLC environments for actionable monitoring, analysis, and reporting. Built for industrial reliability and easy deployment, it supports PoE and Modbus RTU over RS-485, simplifying integration into existing infrastructure while accelerating maintenance response. The result is smarter, faster, fully traceable inspections that improve visibility, reduce unplanned downtime, and strengthen asset reliability.
Made to handle real-world conditions
Robust housing, sealed interfaces, and stainless components resist heat, debris, and vibration in daily operations.
Bridges legacy Modbus assets into E Sentry
Supports RS-485 (RTU/ASCII) and Modbus TCP/IP, allowing traditional drives, meters, and protection devices to feed into the same condition-monitoring ecosystem as wireless sensors.
Get started with 1 hub gateway & 1 sensor. Low cost, easy to use.
Sensors require at least one hub gateway to function.
Bridge E Sentry Sensor Data into SCADA via Modbus
Supports Modbus RTU/ASCII over RS-485 and Modbus TCP over Ethernet, enabling integration with SCADA/PLC systems
Reliable Data Capture Even During Outages
The ESC-MBH’s local processing, backup battery (5–10 hours), and data buffering ensure insight continues even if facility networks briefly fail.
Dual-Power Flexibility
Powered via PoE or 9–20V DC on the Modbus connector, making it easy to tie into existing control power circuits and simplifying deployment on existing industrial networks.
GUI-Based Protocol Selection
A built-in GUI to switch between RS-485 and TCP/IP modes simplifies commissioning and reduces integration engineering hours.
