Protocols

All protocols, one platform

With Adquio, communication between devices is no longer a problem.

Our platform centralizes all languages, eliminating the need for external gateways, unstable integrations and high costs.

Eliminates communication barriers

With native automation protocols, Adquio connects systems from different manufacturers without external gateways or additional modules.

This means faster, more stable and secure communication, reducing failures and ensuring maximum compatibility in any installation.

Efficient and seamless integration

Adquio natively supports Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, API REST, DALI and Casambi, achieving true interoperability.

Integration is immediate and without hidden costs, offering total freedom to the integrator and more profitable and sustainable projects.

Native protocols supported by Adquio

🔌

Modbus RTU / Modbus TCP

The most widespread industry standard.

What is?
Modbus is a communication protocol used in industrial automation for decades. Its simplicity and robustness make it perfect for demanding environments.

Where is it used?

  • RTU (RS485)Industrial installations, electrical panels, air conditioning, sensors, energy meters, frequency inverters, PLCs.
  • TCP (Ethernet)Modern infrastructures where high speed and easy networking are required (commercial facilities, public buildings, digitized factories).

What does Adquio bring to the table?

  • Native support as master and slave.
  • Device library for quick configuration.
  • Conversion between Modbus TCP and RTU in a single device.

Real example:

An office building has an Adquio Lite master connected by Modbus RTU (RS-485) to hundreds of energy meters as slaves, each with its own unique address.

🏢

BACnet IP / BACnet MSTP

The official language of intelligent buildings

What is?
BACnet is an open protocol specifically designed to integrate subsystems within buildings: HVAC, lighting, access, energy and others.

Where is it used?

  • BACnet IPOffices, hospitals, hotels, airports, where Ethernet network is available.
  • BACnet MSTPIn existing buildings with RS485 infrastructure, especially in HVAC.

What does Adquio bring to the table?

  • Visualization and direct control of BACnet points from the BMS or SCADA.
  • Automatic translation between protocols (e.g. from Modbus to BACnet).
  • Support both as a customer (master) as well as server (slave).

Real example:

A hotel chain connects BACnet room thermostats with Modbus time and attendance systems, all coordinated from Adquio without additional hardware.

📡

MQTT

The bridge to the IoT world

What is?
MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol, ideal for devices with low capacity or unstable connections. It is widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) world.

Where is it used?

  • Distributed installations with remote communication (solar farms, pumping stations, etc).
  • Integration with cloud platforms such as Node-RED, Home Assistant or customized dashboards.
  • Projects with thousands of devices and the need for scalability.

What does Adquio bring to the table?

  • Publication and subscription to MQTT topics.
  • Bidirectional communication with private or public brokers.
  • Integrated broker if the installation does not have its own.
  • Seamless integration with platforms such as ThingsBoard or AWS IoT.

Real example:

An agricultural irrigation system sends moisture and temperature data from multiple plots via MQTT to Adquio, which acts in real time to open or close solenoid valves.

🔁

API / REST

Your universal gateway to web services

What is?
REST is the standard for communicating web applications with each other. Adquio can consume external APIs and also offer its own data as a server.

Where is it used?

  • To consult external APIs (weather, energy, energy prices).
  • To integrate with third party applications: ERPs, GMAOs, etc.
  • For connection to home automation such as thermostats or consumption meters.

What does Adquio bring to the table?

  • Automatic and programmed query of web data.
  • Transformation of JSON responses into internal variables.
  • Connection to the main artificial intelligence platforms.
  • Public API in Cloud for secure data extraction from mobile app.

Real example:

A solar installation consults daily weather forecasts via API to decide whether to charge batteries or export to the grid, all from Adquio.

 

 

🌈

Casambi

Wireless, professional and unlimited control

What is?
Casambi is a lighting solution based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It allows to control luminaires from mobile apps, in an advanced way and squeezing all the features of each element of the network.

Where is it used?

  • Stores, retail, restaurants, hotels, boutique.
  • Reforms where wiring is not feasible.
  • Projects where aesthetics and flexibility are paramount.

What does Adquio bring to the table?

  • Full control of any number of Casambi installations locally or remotely.
  • Integration with other systems (e.g., opening a door and turning on lights).
  • Monitoring of status, consumption and alarms.
  • Advanced implementation of scenes, schedules and dynamic automations.

Real example:
A retail chain in Switzerland remotely controls its Casambi luminaires from its headquarters thanks to Adquio SCADA Cloud.

💡

DALI

Accurate and efficient digital lighting

What is?
DALI is a protocol dedicated to lighting control, allowing individual and group control of digital luminaires.

Where is it used?

  • Modern offices, hospitals, meeting rooms.
  • Museums and spaces where light is a key part of the experience.
  • Sustainable buildings where lighting is regulated according to presence or natural light.

What does Adquio bring to the table?

  • Native management of up to 64 devices per line.
  • Automatic ballast scanning.
  • Intensity control, on/off and groups.
  • Monitoring of the status of each luminaire.

Real example:
In an art gallery, Adquio manages the DALI lighting for each room, adjusting brightness according to the work on display and the time of day.

Seamless communication between controllers and SCADA/BMS

One of the great strengths of the Adquio ecosystem is its total interconnectedness. interconnectedness:

Inter Adquio controllers connections

Connection between controllers

They share variables, monitor each other and can work in a network as a distributed system. Encrypted connection or not depending on the installation.

Adquio controller - Adquo SCADA connection

Connection with Adquio SCADA

Using standard protocols such as Modbus TCP in slave mode, Adquio can be easily integrated into existing systems with full compatibility.

Adquio controllers - Adquio Cloud BMS connection

Connection to Adquio Cloud BMS

Automatic connection, all the power of local control, but accessible from anywhere in the world. Visualize, control, automate and diagnose without moving.

All protocols. A single platform.

With Adquio, interoperability is no longer a promise. It is a reality.
