Modbus Communication Based Data Extraction Energy Monitoring System

This paper presents the design and implementation of a scalable energy monitoring system for campus-wide applications, utilizing the Modbus protocol for robust communication. The system incorporates an Arduino microcontroller, a MAX485 transceiver for RS485 communication, and an Ethernet Shield for real-time data acquisition and remote monitoring. It continuously measures key electrical parameters, including voltage, current, power, frequency, and energy consumption, offering detailed insights into system performance. The Ethernet-based architecture enables remote access to the data, supporting proactive energy management, fault detection, and optimization strategies. This cost-effective solution provides a reliable framework for comprehensive energy monitoring across large facilities.
