Profire’s MODBUS expansion card increases productivity and allows oilfield professionals to communicate more efficiently with various applications. Service teams no longer need to manually check each vessel to ensure equipment is working properly with a MODBUS expansion card in place. Vital information, including temperature, pressure, and levels are relayed using the MODBUS expansion card.
