The Waveshare instructions can be found here: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RS485_TO_ETH_(B) In principle, you just have to connect the Waveshare and install the software. Then set it up as follows: Start VirCom, “Device Management”, then the device should appear. Configure the device with “Edit Device”. You can freely choose the port, e.g. 502 or 8899 or completely different. Important: Firmware 2.3.0.(135) or [...]
The USR-W610 has the advantage that it also comes with the right power connection for the sensors. Up to 32 sensors can be connected to a Modbus connection of a USR-W610 (a more powerful power supply unit may be necessary at the maximum expansion level). Currently, only the Truebner SMT100, the Truebner Aquaflex and the Truebner T100 in RS485 Modbus versions supported. [...]
