Modbus ASCII data box — Industrial Modbus RTU gateway with RS‑485 and USB‑C The Modbus ASCII data box offers a compact interface for connecting Microtech DataMet instruments to industrial networks, converting USB‑C output to a stable RS‑485 Modbus RTU link for data acquisition and process control. MODBUS RTU output via RS‑485 4‑wire USB‑C connection for Microtech DataMet instruments Configurable 9600 bps baud rate Compact IP40 enclosure 53×82×31 mm Seamless industrial data integration for measurement systems This compact industrial gateway translates instrument output into Modbus RTU, providing deterministic serial communication for PLCs, SCADA systems and data loggers. By offering an RS‑485 4‑wire interface it preserves signal integrity over long cable runs, while the USB‑C link keeps the connection simple for Microtech DataMet devices. The predictable transfer characteristics, including a default 9600 bps rate, reduce integration time and support automated logging and quality control routines, so measurement data can be consumed directly by production systems without custom converters. Reliable operation within standard workshop environments Engineered for everyday industrial conditions, the unit operates between 5–40 °C and up to 70% relative humidity, with an IP40 enclosure that protects against solid ingress in guarded installations. The small footprint ( 53×82×31 mm ) and low mass ( 0.15 kg ) ease panel or enclosure placement where space is at a premium. Supplied without a measuring instrument, the module is intended as a communications accessory to augment existing metrology hardware rather than a standalone gauge, simplifying inventory and allowing the integration of certified instruments already in use. Simple serial configuration and robust protocol support Configuration follows established serial conventions: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity, with the baud rate configurable (default 9600 bps) to match existing field devices. The RS‑485 interface accepts the common 4‑wire wiring (5–24 V, GND, A, B), enabling straightforward connection to industrial masters. These well‑known settings minimise engineering adjustments and ensure reliable cyclic polling or event‑driven reporting, which helps maintain measurement traceability and reduces the risk of communication errors during production runs. Suited to metrology workflows and automated data collection As a purpose‑built interface for Microtech instruments, the module supports streamlined data capture and archival in quality systems and MES layers. Its compact design and standardised protocol support lower cabling complexity and make it easier to centralise readings from distributed gauges. For facilities seeking to digitise routine inspection and monitoring tasks, the device provides a practical, low‑effort route to feed laboratory‑grade measurements into control and reporting stacks, improving process transparency and decision reliability.

Take advantage of a compact, standards‑based interface that converts MICROTECH DataMet USB‑C outputs into Modbus RTU over RS‑485, ensuring stable industrial data transmission and simple integration into existing control systems; order the Modbus RTU data box directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed. Modbus RTU data box — Industrial Modbus RTU interface with RS‑485 and USB‑C The Modbus RTU data box is a compact interface module that links MICROTECH DataMet instruments to industrial networks, converting USB‑C sensor outputs into a configurable Modbus RTU stream for process monitoring and data logging. Industrial Modbus RTU interface RS‑485, 4‑wire connection USB‑C for Microtech DataMet instruments Compact IP40 enclosure 53×82×31 mm Seamless, standards‑based data transfer for reliable process control The interface module provides Modbus RTU communication on an RS‑485 physical layer, enabling deterministic transfer of measurement data into PLCs, SCADA systems or data loggers. With a default baud rate of 9600 bps (configurable), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity, the module follows established serial communication rules so integration is predictable and repeatable. For production environments this means fewer configuration cycles and faster commissioning, because common communication parameters are already supported by most industrial controllers. The combination of protocol conformity and USB‑C connectivity to MICROTECH DataMet instruments reduces conversion effort and preserves measurement integrity when bridging laboratory devices and automation networks. Compact construction that suits tight spaces while withstanding shop conditions Measuring 53×82×31 mm and weighing just 0.15 kg, the device fits into compact enclosures or close to measurement points to shorten cable runs and reduce routing complexity. The IP40 rated enclosure protects electronics against typical workshop dust ingress while the permitted operating range of 5–40 °C and 70% humidity covers most factory and bench environments. The small footprint supports tidy installations and easier cable management, which in turn helps maintain signal quality and lowers the chance of intermittent faults caused by strained wiring. For system integrators and test stations, the result is a reliable link with minimal installation overhead. Simple configuration and transparent technical behaviour for straightforward integration Configuration follows the familiar Modbus RTU paradigm: set the baud rate, address and frame parameters on the host or via controller tools and the interface relays measurement frames across the RS‑485, 4‑wire output (pins: 5–24 V supply, GND, A, B). Explaining the protocol in practical terms: Modbus RTU packages numeric measurements into registers that controllers read cyclically — a robust, widely supported mechanism that keeps polling intervals predictable. The unit is supplied without a measuring instrument, so it partners with existing MICROTECH DataMet devices via USB‑C; this separation ensures flexibility when upgrading measurement hardware or changing network architecture without replacing the conversion module.
