Bauma – it’s a wrap!
I’d been told Bauma was big — but nothing could’ve prepared me for the scale 🤯 160 acres of machines. Absolute sensory overload. If your world revolves around machinery, put Bauma on your bucket list. It’s not an exhibition — it’s a pilgrimage.

Modbus Chaos
One of the biggest frustrations with Modbus! Floating point numbers. Modbus only defines 16-bit registers—it doesn’t specify how multi-register values like 32-bit or 64-bit floats should be formatted. Different manufacturers use different byte orders, leaving you with a puzzle to solve. 🔄 Big-endian or little-endian?🔄 Word-swapped or standard?🔄 IEEE 754 or custom format? If you’ve …

Why is RS485 Better
After yesterdays post on the differences between RS232 and RS485, we have been asked a few times why RS485 is more noise immune. It is because RS485 uses a differential signalling method. Here’s how it works, and why it’s effective: 🔗 Differential Signalling in RS485: RS485 uses two wires to carry a pair of signals that …
RS232 vs RS485
RS232 and RS485 are standards for serial interfaces that each specify the transmission media and a defined set of logic levels, data rates and timings. These are some of the oldest serial interfaces around, yet they are still very widely used in control and measurement equipment, mainly due to their simplicity and low cost. RS232: …

WLAN Developments
This week started with yet more insolvencies in the Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) space. NNNCo, Australia’s LoRaWANnetwork operator entered voluntary liquidation on 15th November, and SimpleCell, theSigfox operator in the Czech Republic shut down. This follows dozens of other LoraWAN and Sigfox closures over the past 24 months. Interestingly, AT&T followed NT Docomo …
Measure Sensor Current
Senquip devices that power external sensors can also actively monitor the supply voltage and current? 💡 If the supply voltage starts to drop, it may indicate that the supply is overloaded. 💡 A drop in current could point to a failing connection. 💡 A sudden current increase could indicate a short circuit. By simultaneously supplying …
Word Salad
This week I was interfacing an RFID card reader to a Senquip device, and I came across expressions in the manual like “inform type serial” – essentially meaningless. They made me think of the term “word salad”, a phrase used often in a recent election. I realised that without good instructions, a Senquip device is little more …

CAN vs J1939
In the world of automotive and heavy machinery, the terms CAN Bus and J1939 are often incorrectly interchanged. What exactly sets them apart? 📞 CAN Bus (Controller Area Network): Think of CAN Bus as the telephone system that connects different parts of a vehicle. It’s the physical wires and the way in which messages are communicated, …
Genius!
The 4–20 mA convention was born in the 1950s out of the earlier highly successful 3–15 psi pneumatic control signal standard which had the same features of being able to power some remote devices and have a “live” zero. With the advent of faster, networkable protocols, why has a 1950s protocol persisted? 🔌 In so …

Power Your Sensors
One of our very first customers used a Senquip ORB to detect movement in bridges. The application was solar powered and required a sensor that needed 5V power. The ORB can produce 12V at night by boosting the internal backup battery, but the customer had to use an external 12V to 5V converter which was frustrating. When …
