The device has been specifically designed for metering and industrial environments.

It can be mounted on a DIN-rail as an external device and connected to multiple devices simultaneously, such as industrial measurement systems, utility meters, and sensors.

It features industry-standard interfaces and protocols, making it suitable for use in industrial automation and smart metering.

Create a transparent data link for connected devices and forward data on Ethernet, allow remote access for devices.

The converter read registers of connected PLCs and sensors on RS485 or RS232 (via Modbus RTU), on Ethernet (via Modbus TCP). The device forward data on Ethernet port.

It comes in a plastic IP31 housing that can be securely mounted to a 35mm DIN rail.

The device operates on the open-source, Linux-based OpenWRT® operating system and is compatible with our Device Manager® platform.

During communication of the converter and the Device Manager, you can also choose a secure TLS v1.2 connection (option).
