Review on 🌐 Waveshare Industrial RS232/RS485 to Ethernet Converter: Dual Serial Ports with TCP and UDP Data Transmission by Eric Garron

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works very well, also very well made with full isolation and ample transient cancellation.

I have a problem using it on my computer. I opened the box and found that the board is well built and has plenty of spacing between the USB side and the RS-485 side so isolation shouldn't be an issue. Both the RS-485 port and the RS-232 port have multiple surge protection devices and the TTL port can be switched between 5V and 3.3V, so the device must be reliable and versatile. In terms of functionality, nothing is missing. The price really surprised me. I have used much more expensive devices so far, but I see no point in spending more money. The only potential downside is that at RS-485, RS-232, and TTL levels, there are a lot of connectors, so the box is a bit larger than individual RS-485 devices, but if you can live with the larger size (and enjoy the robust aluminum housing) we highly recommend this device.
