Supported Devices
Integration with Schneider, ABB, Siemens, Zenner, Socomec and hundreds more via Modbus TCP/RTU, M-Bus TCP, and DSE protocols.
Which Devices Does Argus EMS Support?
Argus EMS is brand independent: it reads any device speaking Modbus TCP/RTU, M-Bus TCP, SNMP or DSE — energy analyzers, transformer meters, water and heat meters, UPS units and genset controllers. Where a register template exists, a new model is defined in minutes; where it does not, the device map is derived and added to the template library. No device replacement required.
Supported Protocols
| Protocol | Use Case | Connection | Example Devices |

| M-Bus TCP | Water meters, heat meters | Ethernet M-Bus Gateway | Zenner MBUS, Kamstrup, Sensus |
| DSE Genset | Generator control units | Ethernet / Modbus | DSE 7xxx/8xxx serisi, ComAp InteliGen |
| SNMP | UPS systems | Ethernet | APC Smart-UPS, Eaton 9xxx, Huawei UPS |

View →Connection Requirements
A small software agent is installed on-site. It only needs to be on the same local network as the devices — no complex infrastructure required.
- A continuously running computer or industrial PC on-site
- Network connection to devices (wired or wireless)
- Appropriate converter for serial-line devices
- Internet access (intermittent connectivity also works fine)
Ready in 4 Steps
Device Discovery
Argus automatically finds devices on the network using a Modbus scanner.
Template Selection
Select brand/model from the ready template library; the register map loads automatically.
Test Reading
Accuracy of first readings is verified from the live dashboard.
Go Live
Alarm thresholds and tariff parameters are entered; monitoring begins.
