Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is generally implemented using multiple sensor nodes located in remote locations or relatively far from the control room and monitoring. WSN conventionally has its own communication protocol architecture that requires a specific interface system in accordance with its application. The software used in WSN interface system development is very varied and requires deep knowledge of programming skills because generally the interface is built from scratch so it will be difficult for quick and wide implementation requirements. This research provides solutions to these problems through a new design that is alternatively different from conventional WSN. The main difference lies in the communication protocol used, namely the open industrial protocol: Modbus. Implementing this protocol on WSN will provide access to industry-standard interfaces to be used as a WSN interface system. The industry standard interface system does not requires any complicated programming skills because it has been provided by ready-to-use graphical components so project implementation can be executed more quickly and easily. The Wifi ESP8266 module is used as a wireless transceiver component on the node sensors embedded with Modbus TCP protocol over TCP/IP network protocol. Interface system is built using Microsoft Visual Studio Community version and AdvancedHMI as an integrated development environment. The prototype was built and tested in an environment temperature monitoring system.
