Benefit from reliable protocol compatibility and a small footprint; order the module directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the Metav specialists for integration advice. Modbus RTU Data Box (Microtech Metrology) — RS‑485 gateway for DataMet instruments The Modbus RTU Data Box links Microtech DataMet instruments to industrial controllers and SCADA environments, providing a robust serial bridge for continuous data transfer and machine‑level integration. Modbus RTU protocol for industrial integration RS‑485 4‑wire interface (A, B, GND, 5–24 V) Compact IP40 enclosure, 53 × 82 × 31 mm Seamless system integration for process control This Modbus RTU interface simplifies the transfer of measurement values from laboratory instruments into automation systems, enabling direct connection to PLCs and data loggers via RS‑485. With a hardwareised serial bridge designed for deterministic communication, commissioning time is reduced: the default 9600 bps setting offers immediate compatibility with many legacy systems while the configurable baud rate ensures adaptation to faster networks. The result is a predictable, industrial‑grade data path that supports traceable processes and reduces manual transcription. Small footprint, industrial robustness Housed in a compact enclosure of 53 × 82 × 31 mm, the unit occupies minimal panel space while delivering the mechanical stability required for measurement setups. The IP40 rating and specified operating range keep the interface suitable for indoor workshop and laboratory environments where protection against coarse particles and controlled humidity is sufficient. The lightweight construction (approx. 0.15 kg) aids neat mounting and tidy cable routing without adding bulk to measurement stations. Clear serial parameters for dependable transfers Serial communications are framed to industry norms: default 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity, which together provide a standardised data format that simplifies protocol stacks on PLCs and SCADA systems. Clear, documented settings reduce ambiguity during integration and help maintain data integrity across longer RS‑485 bus runs. The four‑wire RS‑485 connection (power line plus A/B pair and ground) supports stable signalling for multi‑drop topologies. Built to fit metrology workflows Designed specifically for use with Microtech measurement equipment, the module accepts USB‑C input from DataMet instruments and converts that stream into a field‑ready Modbus RTU signal. The unit is supplied without a measuring tool and therefore complements existing instrument fleets rather than replacing them. Rated for operation between 5–40 °C and up to 70 % relative humidity, the interface is tailored to the ambient conditions typical of inspection benches and machine shops, helping to extend the utility of precision instruments into live production monitoring.

Integrate laboratory measurement into process control
A compact solution for modbus transmission, the Modbus RTU Data Box converts USB‑C metrology outputs from Microtech DataMet instruments into industry‑ready Modbus RTU signals. Designed for a small footprint and reliable protocol compatibility, the unit links laboratory‑grade measuring tools to PLCs, SCADA systems and data loggers without replacing existing instruments.
How modbus transmission performs in live production
The device operates as a hardwareised serial bridge that provides deterministic communication between measurement devices and controllers. Modbus is a proven, open communication protocol that follows a master–slave (client–server) model: a central controller (the master, e.g. a plc or pc) polls connected field devices (slaves, such as sensors or measurement tools) and receives responses only when addressed. Communication can take place serially via Modbus RTU or over networks via Modbus TCP, and the Data Box is geared towards Modbus RTU for direct serial integration.
